Overview
ARE YOU READY FOR AN AMAZING NEW VERSION OF THE PHOTOSHOP BOOK
THAT BREAKS ALL THE RULES?
Scott Kelby, Editor and Publisher of Photoshop User magazine
– and the best-selling Photoshop author in the world today
– once again takes this book to a whole new level as he
uncovers more of the latest, most important, and most useful Adobe
Photoshop CS6 techniques for digital photographers.
This major update to his award-winning, record-breaking book does
something for digital photographers that’s never been done
before – it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly
“how to do it.” It’s not a bunch of theory; it
doesn’t challenge you to come up with your own settings or
figure it out on your own. Instead, Scott shows you step by step
the exact techniques used by today’s cutting-edge digital
photographers, and best of all, he shows you flat-out exactly which
settings to use, when to use them, and why. That’s why the
previous editions of this book are widely used as the official
study guides in photography courses at colleges and universities
around the world.
LEARN HOW THE PROS DO IT
Each year, Scott trains thousands of professional photographers on
how to use Photoshop, and almost without exception they have the
same questions, the same problems, and the same challenges –
and that’s exactly what he covers in this book. You’ll
learn:
The sharpening techniques the pros really use.
The pros’ tricks for fixing the most common digital photo problems fast!
The step-by-step setup for getting what comes out of your printer to match exactly what you see onscreen.
How to process HDR (High Dynamic Range) images using CS6’s Merge to HDR Pro.
How to master CS6’s Content-Aware features.
How to use Photoshop CS6’s new video editing features to make movies from your DSLR videos.
How to process RAW images like a pro (plus how to take advantage of all the new Camera Raw features in CS6!).
The latest Photoshop special effects for photographers (there’s a whole chapter just on these!).
A host of shortcuts, workarounds, and slick “insider” tricks to send your productivity through the roof!
Plus, Scott includes a special bonus chapter with his own CS6
workflow, from start to finish, and each chapter ends with a
Photoshop Killer Tips section, packed with timesaving, job-saving
tips that make all the difference. If you’re a digital
photographer, and if you’re ready to learn all the
“tricks of the trade” – the same ones that
today’s leading pros use to correct, edit, sharpen, retouch,
and present their work—then you’re holding the book
that will do just that.
