Product Description
Scott Kelby was honored with Professional Photographer magazine?s highly coveted 2008 Hot One Award for The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers. Here?s what Jeff Kent, the Hot One Editor at Professional Photographer, has to say about the book: ?In a how-to published by Peachpit Press, Scott Kelby, best-selling author on Adobe Photoshop, delves into CS3 to uncover the most important and useful techniques for digital photographers. Our judges liked Kelby?s direct approach with step-by-step instructions. In this new edition, Kelby shares even more secrets from the top pros.?
Shutterbug magazine chose The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers as a Top Digital Book of 2007. Here?s what Joe Farace of Shutterbug has to say about the book: ?Scott Kelby?s name on a Photoshop book is like the Dodge brand on the front of a pickup truck. You know it?s built RAM?or pixel?tough. Combining his famous twisted wit with unwaveringly straight tutorials, Kelby takes you through a detailed tour of Photoshop CS3 by showing how to use the new features. No fluff; just page after page of well-illustrated tutorials showing photographers how to get the most out of the new features, commands, and effects found in the latest version of Adobe?s flagship. It will get you up to speed on CS3?s new features faster than you can all by yourself.?
Scott Kelby, the #1 best-selling Photoshop author in the world today, once again takes this book to a whole new level as he uncovers the latest, most important, and most exciting new Adobe Photoshop CS3 techniques for digital photographers. This major update to his award-winning, record-breaking book does something for digital photographers that?s never been done before?it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly ?how to do it.? It?s not a bunch of theory; it doesn?t challenge you to come up with your own settings or figure it out on your own. Instead, Scott shows you step-by-step the exact techniques used by today?s cutting-edge digital photographers, and best of all, he shows you flat-out exactly which settings to use, when to use them, and why.
That?s why the previous editions of this book are widely used as the official course study guide in photography courses at college and universities around the world, and this new edition for Photoshop CS3 exposes even more of the top pros? most closely-guarded secrets.

Customer Reviews
Worth Every Pennhy
I received this book for Christmas from my son and his wife. I had not yet received the Photoshop CS3 software, but ordered it on a day after Christmas on a special from Amazon.
I started reading Scott's book before the software arrived so I would have some heads up on processing the aircraft images I have been shooting with my Canon xsi camera. After the software arrived I was already ready to tackle a layout to send to clients. Scott's book gave me exactly what I needed to professionally produce some great comps and add my copyright logo (one of the most helpful features I found) to my photos.
The book is designed to zero in on only certain areas that seem to be perfect for the individual that needs only basic production features from the software. To me, it would impossible to learn every aspect and function of Photoshop. You can skip to only the topics of interest and seek the step by step method to achieve your goal.
I am wearing out the pages in the meantime getting more familiar every day with the feature rich capability of Photoshop. It is one fantastic application. Coupled with my Canon camera and my Canon Pro 9000 printer this book has made my day as a semi pro photographer that is growing my business.
Thanks Scott!
great book
Awesome book - very practical, and Scott Kelby has a hilarious sense of humour that absolutely makes the book unique! Higly recommended.
