Additional Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3 Information
|
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!'

What Customers Say About Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3:

[.].Caveat - If you're looking for a detailed description of how the filters themselves actually work, this probably isn't for you. The biggest eye opener for me was concept of the layer mask.
Little did I know it would turn me into a photography nut. I'm a Real Estate Agent and bought this book for a very simple reason - make my property pictures look better and give myself a competitive edge.
Now I have a reputation for my marketing, I get leads from it and can literally say that no other self-ed book has done as much for my business. Before reading the Kelby book I'd been using the same brightness/contrast, sharpness, and (maybe) color balance hacks that I'd been relying on since I got my hands on my first pirated copy of photoshop 15 years ago.
If you ARE like I WAS, this book will do WONDERS for you. Once I got that down (through an abundance of real-life tutorials) I was experimenting and making retouching "points" of my own.
if you want results, there's no better bang for your buck, or time.-Armand
Great educational tool for work flow sprinkled with juicy little "how-to" tips. Also, as you follow along in this book, Scott explains what you are doing and why. Ever wonder what some of those little sliders are for.Buy the book, use the book. I have a few other Scott Kelby books, I don't think you can go wrong with his guidance.
OK, I thought I'd save some money by borrowing this book from the public library. There was so much value in the first few exercises, that I returned the book and bought my own copy. A must have in your Photoshop library.
I have had Adobe Photoshop CS3 for quite a while and could not seem to get my head around how to use the features the program offers. After reading the first chapter, my attitude about Photoshop changed. I would recommend the book to someone who is relatively new to Photoshop CS3 based on my experience. I was somewhat determined to find a way to learn to use Adobe Photoshop CS3. This gives you the ability to walk through each example in the book. Some how I stumbled on to a review regarding learning to use Photoshop CS3. I spent hours looking at tutorials and purchased two or three books that just did not do a good job in terms of giving me a comfortable feeling with Photoshop CS3. I managed to clean up a few photos that I had taken last summer by using tips that I picked up from the first chapter in the book.
In the review someone mentioned Scott Kelby's books. I figured that I had already invested serious $$ to purchase the program and a few more $$ would not be a big deal. I believe one of the keys was the fact that the Raw photos used in many of the examples are available for download. I would rate it 4 plus stars.
Kelby wants users to buy another book rather than doing updates on his web site for those who have recently purchased the previous book. I returned those and attempted to find CS3 but wound up in the end with CS4 due to lack of availability of CS3. I haven't had the book that long so I have no idea how truly useful it might be. Shortly after I purchased the book CS4 came out. The updates could be posted online for users rather than constantly needing to buy yet another book which contains just a few elements needed to use it with the latest software. I used CS3 which was provided during a class I was taking and toward the end of the class purchased a copy of 7-Point System at a local store. Two suppliers listed CS3 for sale but when I ordered it they shipped me CS4 instead.
When the CS4 version of this book comes out I will NOT be purchasing it. One thing that irks me about these books is that when a new version of Photoshop comes out Mr. Attempting to use the book with CS4 is frustrating so I will wind up getting rid of the book. I had intended to purchase CS3 but ran into some problems. I attempted to purchase CS3 for my Mac to no avail. I really dislike how updated versions of these books contain the same old material (corny jokes included) for the most part with usually small updated sections for the new version. I suppose if the book was completely rewritten it wouldn't be so objectionable.
