Excellent

Muy buen libro; creo que resume todo lo que un fotógrafo necesita para trabajar sus fotos en Photoshop.

Hide it from your sisters.....

I have this book and it is wonderful! It is so good, in fact, that my sister broke into my house while I was out of town and "borrowed" the book from my desk. She did all lessons in a weekend and returned the book, open to the exact page I was using. Then she bought a copy for herself..for a reference tool.

Cutting through the confusion

I found the 7 Point System to be a great way of cutting throught the confusion of Photoshop and getting down to the basics of improving the photograph. I am relatively new to Photoshop and all the other books I've read on this topic lost me after the first few chapters. This book allows you to dive right into it by offering 7 common functions that seem provide the most significant improvment to a photograph. I find myself going back to previous sections in the book to improve upon what I have already learned. A great book that I would recommend to any newbie to photoshop.

Some great techniques and some overworked images

I've been using this book for a while and have improved my photo editing skills. Kelby offers some useful recipes for fixing or enhancing photos and he offers methods for adjusting both RAW and jpeg images. After learning the basics of Photoshop it's always helpful to have a manual that will take you through an entire process, so a workflow not just a trick can be learned. Scott Kelby's clear and conversational style works well here as does the the wealth of intermediate step photos.

Many of the end product photos look a bit too obviously Photoshopped. I suppose that's useful as a teaching method, overemphasizing the end result to illustrate how much an average image can be enhanced. I wouldn't want to display them with my name on them, but did learn a lot working through the examples. After understanding the workflow it's pretty easy to tone down the edits to achieve subtler results.

As with more targeted and specialized Photoshop-for-photo-editing books this assumes that the reader has a reasonable familiarity with Photoshop. There is no general introduction to the program. That's fine buy me as it keeps the weight and presumably cost down, and I consider it a useful addition to my library.

This is a GREAT Book!

I've got all sorts of Photoshop "How To" books which I constantly go to when I'm "stuck". I usually remain stuck:-) This book, for the first time, makes many of the great features of Photoshop make SENSE! You actually work "along with Scott", downloading pictures from a website so you work alongside him as you apply different effects, fixing up photos. It's more of a workbook than "how to". I'm only on Lesson 10 (of 21) and I'm already vastly improving some of my own photos using the techniques taught here. He also, in the various lessons, has you doing many of the same techniques over and over so you really understand how they work. Anyone, other than a Photoshop "Expert" can gain from having this guide.
