Scott
Kelby, the best-selling Photoshop author in the world today, once again
takes this book to a whole new level as he uncovers the latest, most
important and most exciting new Adobe Photoshop CS2 techniques for digital
photographers. This major update to this
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 version of this book took the
digital photography world by storm. But now, his new CS2,
version is even bigger, even better, and exposes even more of the
pros most closely guarded secrets, including a special chapter which
shows, for the first time ever, step-by-step how to how to set-up
Photoshop's color management.
He does it by throwing out all the
theory, all the techno-babble, and all the confusing charts
and graphs and instead just shows you exactly what you need to do
(and nothing more). LEARN HOW THE PROS DO
IT Each year Scott trains thousands of professional photographers
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 (there's an entire chapter on,
just this!) • The pros tricks for fixing the most common digital
photo problems fast! • The step-by-step set-up for
getting what comes out of your printer to match exactly what you saw
on screen • The retouching secrets of how the pros retouch
portraits • How to process raw digital camera images (plus how to take
advantage of all the new Camera Raw features of CS2!) •
How to color correct any photo without breaking a sweat (you'll
be amazed at how easy it is–once you know the secret) • A
whole chapter on the latest, most requested Photoshop special effects
• How to reduce noise, deal with lens problems, avoid halos, and
more • How to show your work like a pro! • Plus a host of
shortcuts, workarounds, and slick "insider" tricks to send your
productivity through the roof! If you're a digital
photographer and you're ready to learn the "tricks of the
trade"–the same ones that today's leading pros use to
correct, edit, sharpen, retouch, and present their wor; then this is
the book for you.

Photoshop cs2 very well. I don't agree with the authors avoidance of 16
