The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book October 22, 2008 J. Brown (Dallas, TX USA) Well organized into specific tasks broken into multi-step instructions. Not written in computer garble; just plain English that a person who doesn't already know what to do can understand. Well illustrated. Very helpful to both amateur and professional photographers.
No Time for Jokes October 11, 2008 Arthur Hampton (Rohnert Park, CA USA) 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I opened this book today for some help with selection. You know, when you use masks or the quick selection tool to isolate an area to change something limited to that area. It doesn't exist! Furthermore, Scott writes in a jocular style in which he explains things by telling stories, as if he were speaking to a child. I don't want that, I just want straight information which I can quickly scan or search for answers. If you want to be amused, this is your book. If you just want Photoshop information, look elsewhere.
Excellent book! October 3, 2008 Pam Helme (Massachusetts) This is great, consise guide to the photographer's photoshop needs. Doesn't include photoshop basics like layers, etc, but does show photos for each step making this great for all levels! And I don't know why people whine about Kelby's style, I'd rather have some humor in my technical guides than manual-speak with no personality.
Adobe PS3 Book October 3, 2008 Mathias H. Fruhwirth (Arizona high desert) Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers is the best instructive book I have ever read. I have numerous books on "How To" on Adobe Photoshop producrs. For the newbie this books step by step procedures is easy to follow and extremely instructive. I feel that when I have accomplished all the tasks in book I will be able to read and understand Adobe Photoshop procedures. Best buy on the market. MHF
As always an awesome book! September 30, 2008 Catherine Story (Perkins, OK) I have never written a review of a book before and I am happy to now. Not just this book but all of Scott Kelby's books are awesome. Scott makes it easy to follow his directions no matter what your skill level is. It is like a friend just telling you straight without all the stuff you don't need. I would highly recommend this and all of Scott Kelby books!!
