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.

A must have for your Photoshop Library

Scott Kelby, in addition to being really knowledgeable about Photoshop, is just plain fun, whether it's on the page, on his blog, or on his podcast: Photoshop User TV.
I had the CS2 version of this book and got the CS3 version firstly because my cat had eaten the white balance card provided. True story. But I also wanted had heard there was a lot more in it. I haven't read it cover to cover like the CS3 one because I haven't had time, but whenever I glance at a section, I learn something new.
So if you like taking pictures and want to take them to the next level in Photoshop, get this book.

Great Tips

This book contains a great deal of useful information. It is most helpful if you already have some familiarity with CS3. For your first book I would recommend one with a more organized, feature-by-feature approach.
