 A good read February 12, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
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.

I have always loved Scott Kelby's books but not this one. I don't understand why he uses Photoshop with layers when after ever step he has you flatten the work before going on to the next step. I want to see all the layers and be able to go back and tweak the layers when necessary. I can't believe he saves each picture before flattening it. I was very frustrated by this approach.
