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.
