Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for PhotoShop

sandman · 02:49 PM

I've been going through the lessons and this is probably the most helpful Photoshop book I've read in years. Each lesson starts with a RAW or JPG image. Kelby takes you step by step through the process beginning with Adobe Camera RAW and then finishing up in Photoshop CS3.

Here are a few before and after examples from the lessons I've completed. These are not my original images. These images we're provided as part of the book.

Looks very interesting!

Id love to see some of your own before and after's once you get some done.

I'm tempted to now, but I want to finish the book before I start on my own.

This may be a dumb question but what is the 7-point system?

It's a new book from Scott Kelby that provides a step by step workflow for processing images in Photoshop CS3. Having gone through the book myself, I'd highly recommend it.

Thanks, Already figured it out and bought the book.
Thanks again

I was in the bookstore last night making my monthly magazine run and I went and sifted through the book as well. There is a bunch of great info there and I will definitely be picking it up soon...

Thanks for posting your feedback on it thus far.

Scott Kelby's book 7 Point System for Photoshop was the first book on Photoshop I have bought. Great book and very easy to follow. Lots of repetition hammers home the basic points. I highly recommend this book for everyone who uses PS.

Great! Another book I have to buy.

Yeah Kelby must crank out a book a month. I have his 7 point book all dog eared. What I find even better than that is his book on Lightroom 2. This sure has changed my workflow. I spend just a little more time in Lightroom and a lot less in Photoshop.

Sounds like I have some book purchases I need to make soon. I've been looking for some more information on how to use photoshop and lightroom 2 and just seeing the examples above has me excited.

Great stuff! I'll be sure to check it out once I get stateside!
