Book description
Scott Kelby, the world's #1 bestselling Photoshop author, and
the man who changed the Photoshop and digital photography world
with his ground-breaking, award-winning "Photoshop Book for Digital
Photographers" unveils a exciting, brand new way of thinking, and
working in Adobe Photoshop that will not only change the industry
again, but it will change the way we all work in Photoshop forever,
so we can finally spend less time fixing our images, and more time
finishing them.
You're about to become a Photoshop Shark!
Scott has focused in and really narrowed things down to just
exactly which Photoshop tools and techniques we absolutely,
positively have to know, and he found that there are just seven
major tools, seven major features that we have to master to enhance
our images like a pro. But then he took it a step further. Out of
those seven major tools, he looked at which parts or sections of
those tools do we really need to master, and which parts can we
pretty much ignore (in other words, he whittled it down so you're
not learning parts of the tools that you're probably never going to
need). Then, and perhaps most importantly, he determined exactly
when and in which order to apply these seven techniques that make
up Scott's amazing "Photoshop Seven Point System."
But the magic of this book, is not just listing the seven tools and
showing how they work. It's how they're used together, and how
Scott teaches them (and makes it stick), that makes this book so
unique. You're not going to just learn one technique for
fixing shadows, and another technique for adjusting color (every
Photoshop book pretty much does that, right?). Instead, you're
going start off at square one, from scratch, as each chapter is
just one photo—one project—one challenging lifeless
image (you'll follow along using his the same images), and you're
going to unleash these seven tools, in a very specific way, and
you're going to do it again, and again, and again, in order
on different photos, in different situations, until they are
absolutely second nature. You're finally going to do the FULL
fix—from beginning to end—with nothing left out, and
once you learn these seven very specific techniques, and apply them
in order, there won't be a an image that appears on your screen
that you won't be able to enhance, fix, edit, and finish
yourself!
Plus, Scott's techniques work across a wide range of photos, and
that's exactly what you'll be working on in the book, from
landscapes to portraits, to architectural, to nature, from event
photography to everything in between—there isn't a photo you
won't be able to beat!
This is the book you've been waiting for, the industry's been
waiting for, and Scott's "Adobe Photoshop Seven Point System" is so
revolutionary that he's officially applied for a patent with the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and this new system is only found
in this amazing, ground breaking new book. Once you learn these
techniques, and start applying them yourself, you'll be the next
one to say—"You can't beat 'The System!'
