Scott Kelby, the world's #1 best-selling photography technique books
author, is here with an entirely new concept in Photoshop books--one
that's designed from the ground up to get you straight to whatever it is
you need to do in Photoshop right now, get your answer fast, and get you
back to editing your images in Photoshop.
Thanks to Adobe's incredibly popular Creative Cloud Photography plan,
which includes Photoshop and Lightroom, photographers are extending the
depth and power of Lightroom by jumping over to Photoshop to do all
those things Lightroom just can't do (or Lightroom can do, but in
Photoshop, it's faster and easier, or the results are just better).
Because Photoshop has so much power and depth, sometimes the things you
need are...well...kinda hidden or not really obvious. There will be a
lot of times when you need to get something done in Photoshop, and you
know Photoshop can do it (because Photoshop can do just about anything),
but you have no idea where Adobe hid that feature, or what the "secret
handshake" is to do that thing you need now so you can get back to
working on your images. That's why this book was created: to quickly get
you to the technique, the shortcut, the setting, or exactly the right
thing you need to do right now.
Here's how it works: When you need to know how to do a particular thing,
you turn to the chapter where it would be found (Layers, Printing,
Fixing Problems, Special Effects, etc.), find the thing you need to do
(it's easy, each page covers just one single topic), and Scott tells you
exactly how to do it just like he was sitting there beside you, using
the same casual style as if he were telling a friend. That way, you get
back to editing your images fast.
This isn't a book of theory, full of confusing jargon and detailed
multi-step concepts. This is a book on which button to click, which
setting to use, and exactly how and when to use it, so you're never
"stuck" in Photoshop again. This will be your "go to" book that sits
within reach any time you're working in Photoshop. With this book, help
is right at your fingertips.
