Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Photoshop book junkie. I consider myself an apprentice user of Photoshop with my interest primarily in digital photagraphy. So when I saw this book I did not hesitate to take it home.At first I read through some of the interesting techniques and tips shown throughout the book without actually trying any of them in Photoshop. However, it wasn't until I opened Photoshop and turned to the section on color correction that I realized what a great instructor Scott Kelby is.
The short section on Color Correction of your photos was worth the price of the book! I have read several other Photoshop books but none of them have given me the results that I got when I went through the four or five pages Scott devoted to color correction using the "Curves" tool (Page 115). What a difference. When I completed the adjustment of my first photo I placed it along side the same photo I had adjusted using techniques shown in other books. There was no comparison. Scott't technique resulted in much richer and vibrant colors that were true to my recollection of the original scene.
Kudos to Scott and his straight forward teaching techniques.
Book Review: Absolutely top-notch

Kelby gets the word out on all sorts of things dear to the hearts of photographers in a one, two three style. No beating around the bush. Just the facts, maam.Book Review: Adobe Photoshop CS Book for Digital Photographers
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this and am finding it very useful; it's full of practical and easy to follow tricks that I've wondered about for a while. Well worth the price if you are serious about post processing. Scott has a dry quirky wit and it provides for interesting reading. He is also a master with CS and has collected many awesome tricks from a wide network of professionals.
Book Review: An extremely valuable introductory book.
Summary: 5 Stars
Scott Kelby has written a great book for digital photographers employing a "cookbook" rather than the more intimidating comprehemsive "users manual" approach to this intimidating program. This book will get you using the most useful features of this program quickly and effortlessly. You need to understand however that this is not intended as, nor is it a comprehensive users manual. Kelby employs a simpler approach. By enabling the reader to delve quickly into the most useful features of the program he can then explore the more daunting aspects of the program at his leisure. I've found that this approach to learning nearly anything works best for me. To concentrate exclusively on the mundane details of any subject to the exclusion of the more interesting practical aspects nearly always leads to boredom. Kelby has avoided this pitfall.
I've read other Photoshop books and none of them have been as useful or practical as this one. Photoshop is chock full of features tailored to the needs of the digital photographer and Scott Kelby has gone far towards making these accessible even to the neophyte.
