"After having used Photoshop 7 for many years I finally took advantage of my teacher discount and picked up Photoshop CS/4 a few weeks ago. I bought this book based on the reputation of Scott Kelly and the fact that the book is geared towards photographers more so than graphic artists.
Kelby does a great job explaining things and includes a lot of pictures with circled references in red. Being extremely visual it was very helpful in helping me learn key concepts.
He covers the most important material and offers up some great tips that I have already started using, which have really improved my work flow. He also discusses at length the most important new tools of CS/4 of which there are many. In comparison to Photoshop 7, it's basically a brand new program.
My only quibble with the book is that it did not explain levels/masks/channels enough nor did it fully explore the various tools and filters that are at your disposal in the program. And there are dozens of them.
I reread this book and used 3 x 5 cards to highlight the parts which I found most beneficial which include: using Bridge, work flow, color correction, black and white (excellent tips here), sharpening, and a few other aspects of digital photography that really interest me.
I recently bought, but haven't started reading CS/4 for Dummies and Adobe Classroom in a Book, the latter which is like.....being in a classroom. They have lessons that build upon each other. Anyway, that's for another review.
If you already have a pretty fair idea of how Photoshop works and you are a photographer, this book is for you. If you are a total and complete Photoshop virgin, I would suggest something more linear and basic."
"Scott Kelby is my favorite Photoshop author. This book is indispensible for anyone who uses Photoshop CS4 for their digital photography. Packed with helpful, easy-to-follow tips, this is a must-read."
"I love Scott Kelby's books on digital photography so of course I love this "how - to" book on CS4. I just recently got the program so I'm learning. I've read through most of this book but I know I'll come back to it time and time again as I experiment and learn more about the program. I really like Scott Kelby's style of writing. It works well for me. I understand it. Also there are pictures to match every instruction in this book so I can see what should be happening or what boxes will pop up if I do something. That's exactly what I need. Some don't like his sense of humor but I do. Maybe I just don't sweat the little things though LOL I'd highly recommend this book if you have CS4 and need to learn what to do."
