 Kelby Training for Photoshop-7 points takes the next step! February 13, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Scott Kelby is the leader of the pack when it comes to Photoshop training. His 7 point system will teach you steps to REMEMBER and not guess at what you need in certain situations. Best money I spent on Photoshop!
 A good read February 12, 2008

Overall, this is a good read for a fairly advanced Photoshop user with the most up-to-date Adobe software. But its not a reference book at all. Think of it as a programmed instruction book.
By this I mean that you'll try a lot of cool stuff working through the examples, but trying to find them again when you really need them for your own work is harder to do. You'll also find that while the technique works fine in the example, you may feel like you'd like more detail when using it in a new situation. You may also wish he wasn't trying to show off all the latest tricks in CS3 without giving you a workaround.
As some of the other reviewers commented, there are some fairly advanced techniques in here. If you're a newbie you should definitely look elsewhere.

It works as a quick guide, and you may use Mr Kelby's other book (The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers)to get more detailed help in Photoshop.

If you've never read any photoshop books on manipulating photographs, this is a great book for you to learn.
If you have read any other books, like, say Dan Marguilis Photoshop LAB Color: The Canyon Conundrum and Other Adventures in the Most Powerful Colorspace or Professional Photoshop: The Classic Guide to Color Correction (5th Edition) you'll probably be very disappointed, as he just rehashes everything that you've already learned.
And the 7 steps? There are not seven steps, more like dozens. I think it would be better titled as "Seven general techniques you might want to try to improve your photos" He doesn't even tell you when to use the different ideas, you just have to figure that out for yourself.
