The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby

From Barnes & Noble

If you're a photographer, you need to see what Photoshop CS3 can do for you -- and who better to show you than the inimitable Scott Kelby. Here, he takes Photoshop CS3 to places it's never gone before, offering exquisitely detailed step-by-step instructions to get you there and back safelyl.

The book's organized around professional workflow, but you can jump in anywhere: at Kelby's great cropping tips, color correction secrets, 15-second fixes for underexposure, nifty quadtoning techniques for richer B&Ws, or his expert chapter on retouching faces.

There's plenty of new content in this "fourth edition,” including an all-new workflow chapter and many new techniques Kelby's learned through his renowned training work. Five areas get especially extensive new attention: the vastly upgraded Bridge CS3 and Camera Raw; CS3's improved panorama/photomerge; B&W conversion, and printing. The result: yet another indispensable Scott Kelby book. Bill Camarda, from the November 2007 Read Only
