 Finally, an organized and concise system for Photoshop3 ! November 2, 2007
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
Scott - just a quick note on your new 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop3 ... I can only say THANK YOU... I am the guy you describe in your introduction - knowing that my photo needs fixing, but not knowing where to start in Photoshop3 to fix it... I have bought many Photoshop books (even some of yours), but still have not had a consistent workflow to use every time I look at a photo. Attending various workshops only confused the issue more, as each photographer or instructor has their own way of doing things. FINALLY, you have provided a roadmap to use each and every time I open a photo where I will not have to rifle through hundreds of pages in multple books to figure out where to start and what to do. And when I come back 3 weeks later, as you describe, I know I will start in exactly the same place. Thanks again.
-Bob

Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS?Author: Scott Kelby, Editor Photoshop User Magazine?Publisher Peachpit Press?268 pages .... $49.99?ISBN-13 978-0-321-50192-9?The seven key techniques for taking your images from flat to fantastic!
Scott Kelby discovered that he was using the same seven processes in pretty much the same order when editing all kinds of photos in Photoshop. His brother asked him how he started with this image
?(His own flat difficult to see image
and was able to create this image
(A beautiful clear dark picture with a glow)
?
Scott showed his brother how he did it, and his brother suggested this book.
In Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop shows you exactly what to do first, and what to do next, to get professional results every time. He does this beginning with 20 photographs that need work. By the time you are done following his instructions with these 20 photographs, you are ready to apply these steps to your own images.
Then Scott includes a twenty-first lesson for you to use much later when you need a review.
Scott is the author of many books including The Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers. He has been the world's best selling author of all computer and technology books for the past three years. He has applied for a patent from the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office for his revolutionary educational and learning 7-Point System.
This is my own original image taken with a Nikon Coolpix 5900 hand held automatic setting at f2/8 1/13 second ISO 64.

(an underexpoed flat dark image)
And this is my final version a month later after doing the 20 lessons in Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3.
(A beautiful image I was proud to send to my friends and post in our NVMUG Mac user group review.)
?
Enough said.

Scott, once again has outdone himself. Photoshop information has become so voluminous its almost impossible to find something you need to know quickly. As an advanced amateur photographer, with Scott's book I can now feel assured if I need to fix a photograph and I've forgotten crucial steps, going to this book I can easily find what I need. This is a book that people will keep next to the computer everytime photoshop is used.
THIS Is The Photoshop Book You Need October 26, 2007

I've invested a small fortune over the years in Photoshop books, some good...some not so good. Photoshop guru and prolific author Scott Kelby's latest-the 7-Point System-is in a category by itself...absolutely essential. The concept he uses is to guide you in each lesson from original photo to finished using the same adjustments, tools, and techniques...seven points that are easy to learn for a beginner, and already well-known for more experienced Photoshop users. The beauty of the book lies in seeing not just a curves adjustment or a layer mask in use, but actually working on the same photos (downloaded)Scott used and step-by-step bringing it from bland to beautiful.
I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about Photoshop techniques, but this book has done more to improve my workflow and overall approach to what to look for in a photo that I'm editing than anything before it. And using only 7-points to boot! Lesson 1 alone is an eye-opener as you take a barely viewable photo and using those 7 points, end up with a photo anyone would be proud of. There is a huge Wow factor at work in each lesson.
Written in Scott's familiar breezy style, this should be on every Photoshop user's holiday wish list...if you can wait that long. Two thumbs up and a pat on the back to Mr. Kelby for delivering the goods with this one.
The 7-Point System is AMAZING! October 26, 2007
22 out of 25 found this review helpful
I am new to Adobe Photoshop, about 3 weeks new to be exact. Photoshop scared me to death...then Scott Kelby's 7 Point System for Photoshop book arrived yesterday and in a matter of 20 minutes I had transformed my first image. An hour later, I had taken one of my favorite shots that I thought was "pretty perfect" and applied Kelby's 7 Point System to it...and BAM; AMAZING Shot!
Kelby takes the step by step approach and turns it upside down. If you have his Lightroom book, it is a similar theory of creating a fool-proof work flow, only in Photoshop.
For first time users or those who have been beaten down by the complexity of this powerful program, the 7 Point System for Photoshop removes the mystique and within minutes puts the power in your hands. Additionally, Kelby explains the why's to each point. Seriously, I woke up this morning with a greater understanding of light within the digital photography world...which I know will help me be a better shooter with my camera.
Whether you are a novice like me, or an old pro at Photoshop this book is a must!!!
