This review is from: The Adobe Photoshop CS6 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) (Paperback)
I have been a Photoshop user through all of their upgrades, and every step of the way I have had Scott Kelby and Martin Evening helping me adopt, adapt and improve my post-capture processing. A key component of that educational process has been Kelby's Adobe Photoshop CS Series Books for Digital Photographers. I am delighted to finally have my hands on the CS6 version. Here is a quick overview.Pretty much similar in format as prior versions, Kelby provides a colorful, picture-filled, witty step-by-step process for each of the major steps in making your photos the best that they can be. Included in this version is emphasis on sharpening, HDR, Content Fill Aware, video, RAW images, sizing, printing, black & white, Instagram look (believe it or not) and lastly "killer tips" at the end of each chapter. The latter can save you a lot of time and frustration and are worth the price of book many times over. I highly recommend you get this book if you are at all... Read more

If you're new to Photoshop CS6 then you should probably start with this book. It works for the beginner and seasoned users too. I have the same book for CS5 and CS4. I refer to them all the time. Great stuff. Cheers!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Scott Kelby, I think, is an acquired taste. I find his approach to Photoshop difficult to deal with. I am sure he is a nice guy, but his comedy shtick falls flat with me as does his hodge-podge cookbook approach.This book is also handicapped by a typeface that is simply too small for comfortable reading. None of those criticisms detract from the fact that Kelby knows his stuff and writes well. This is not a book for beginners, nor is it it a thorough reference on Photoshop CS6. (The Martin Evening book is far superior in this regard.) The subject mix, putting it mildly, is diverse: Mini-Bridge, Camera Raw, resizing and cropping photos, creating black and white photos, creating HDR photos, fixing common problems, special effects, sharpening, color management and editing DSLR video. The treatments are not exhaustive, but suffice to learn very specific tasks. Example photos and some additional chapters are downloadable from a companion... Read more |
