Summary: Outstanding
Comment: I have purchased a number of products devoted to learning more about PhotoShop. This is the absolute best I have found. I can see why Scott Kelby patented this approach. It is that much better than other efforts. If an individual follows through the Seven Steps outlined in this book, he/she will be an improved Photoshop user. This is a great tool for both the beginner or the experienced Photoshop "practitioner."

Summary: Scott Kelby's 7 Point system
Comment: This is another of Scott's hands-on, here's how you do it guides to using Adobe Photoshop CS3. Buyer's beware; the book is oriented to CS3 but this is not very apparent from the book's cover which has the CS3 designation hidden in small print within the letter O of photoshop. I purchased this book expecting to use it with the previous edition of photoshop. It is still useful, and since I have Adobe Lightroom I could still do many of the adjustments which otherwise would not have been possible in the RAW editor in CS2.
The books enables you to down-load the example photographs used for each of the 21 lessons and then you can follow Scott's step by step guide to editing each of them. I find this an easy way to learn. I would recommed it to CS3 users and even to CS2 users with Lightroom who are already somewhat familiar with navagating their way around in Photoshop.

Summary: Kelby Training for Photoshop-7 points takes the next step!
Comment: Scott Kelby is the leader of the pack when it comes to Photoshop training. His 7 point system will teach you steps to REMEMBER and not guess at what you need in certain situations. Best money I spent on Photoshop!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A good read
Comment: Overall, this is a good read for a fairly advanced Photoshop user with the most up-to-date Adobe software. But its not a reference book at all. Think of it as a programmed instruction book.
By this I mean that you'll try a lot of cool stuff working through the examples, but trying to find them again when you really need them for your own work is harder to do. You'll also find that while the technique works fine in the example, you may feel like you'd like more detail when using it in a new situation. You may also wish he wasn't trying to show off all the latest tricks in CS3 without giving you a workaround.
As some of the other reviewers commented, there are some fairly advanced techniques in here. If you're a newbie you should definitely look elsewhere.
