Product Description:
Scott Kelby, the best-selling Photoshop author in the world today, once again takes this book to a whole new level as he uncovers the latest, most important and most exciting new Adobe Photoshop CS2 techniques for digital photographers.

This major update to this award-winning, record-breaking book does something for digital photographers that's never been done before–it

cuts through the bull and shows you exactly 'how to do it.' It's not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge you to come up with your own

settings or figure it out on your own. Instead, Scott shows you step-by-step the exact techniques used by today's cutting-edge digital

photographers and, best of all, he shows you, flat-out, exactly which settings to use, when to use them, and why. That's why the previous

version of this book took the digital photography world by storm.

But now, his new CS2, version is even bigger, even better, and exposes even more of the pros most closely guarded secrets, including a special chapter which shows, for the first time ever, step-by-step how to how to set-up Photoshop's color management. He does it by throwing out all the theory, all the techno-babble, and all the confusing charts and graphs and instead just shows you exactly what you need to do (and

nothing more).

LEARN HOW THE PROS DO IT

Each year Scott trains thousands of professional photographers how to use Photoshop, and almost without exception they have the same

questions, the same problems, and the same challenges–and that's exactly what he covers in this book. You'll learn:

• The sharpening techniques the pros really use (there's an entire chapter on, just this!)

• The pros tricks for fixing the most common digital photo problems fast!

• The step-by-step set-up for getting what comes out of your printer to match exactly what you saw on screen

• The retouching secrets of how the pros retouch portraits

• How to process raw digital camera images (plus how to take advantage of all the new Camera Raw features of CS2!)

• How to color correct any photo without breaking a sweat (you'll be amazed at how easy it is–once you know the secret)

• A whole chapter on the latest, most requested Photoshop special effects • How to reduce noise, deal with lens problems, avoid halos, and more

• How to show your work like a pro!

• Plus a host of shortcuts, workarounds, and slick 'insider' tricks to send your productivity through the roof!

If you're a digital photographer and you're ready to learn the 'tricks of the trade'–the same ones that today's leading pros use to correct,

edit, sharpen, retouch, and present their wor; then this is the book for you.

- Great Tool for Post Processing
As a self taught Photoshop user, it seems like I have a world to learn. I have purchased several Photoshop books and an online course with limited success. This one book has done more to help me improve my skills than any other resource. It is not designed for the beginner, but someone who has a foundation of photoshop skills and wants to expand their reach. I really appreciate how Scott Kelby offers multiple digital post processing solutions via Photoshop techniques. I routinely reach for this book and highly recommend it.

- WOW!!!!! GET THIS BOOK NOW!!!!
I can't say enough great things about this book to do it justice. I love this book. I have had CS2 for a while, but it might as well have been Elements 1 for the good it was doing me (by the way, I don't even know how to work Elements, or if there is even an Elements 1!). Anyway, this book is so straight forward, you don't need to know anything beforehand. For each procedure, it talks you through it step by step. What I loved about this book was that it didn't assume you already knew stuff, it just told you "do this and that and click this and click that", with tons of pictures to help you along. I recommend this book IMMENSELY!!!

- Scott Kelby gets right to it
Scott Kelby gets right to it. You quickly learn the most important lessons and uses of Photoshop from a photographer's perspective.

The book is very well written and easy to follow.

You can choose to follow each topic, or if a topic is of less interest, move on to the next topic. Some of the most important topics/pages I marked with a paper clip for easy reference.

Follow this book and you will be a Photoshop god in comparison to most other photographers.

- Easy to understand!
I used this book in a photo class and found it extremely easy to understand to work through the assignments without much help from the instructor. So I bought this book as a gift for a friend of mine to help with learning Photoshop..... I highly recommend this book!
