    So much more could have been in this book.
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2009*

When I bought Photoshop CS2, I wasted a lot of effort with my photos until I bought Kelby's book.  Not only did the book describe how to use some of the features in Photoshop that I used every day, but he also taught tricks such as adding twinkles to eyes.  When I bought Lightroom, again it was Kelby who taught me how to use the program.  In fact, I told all of my friends who used Photoshop that they needed Kelby's books.  So when I upgraded to Photoshop CS4, I of course bought Kelby's book.  And this time I was disappointed.True to form, Kelby presents to the reader step by step instructions for some of the functions you may want to use in Photoshop CS4.  Working with color, black and white and dodging and burning are all included in the book.  But, as someone who already knew the basics of CS2, the CS4 book doesn't offer a lot of new information.  And as someone who uses Lightroom instead of Bridge, I found the two chapters on Bridge to be interesting, but not so useful.  The chapters on HDR images are interesting academically, but then Kelby recommends not using Photoshop for these images.  The chapters about printing and showing your work are nice, but I bought the book to learn how to use Photoshop CS4 to improve my photos.  These other topics would be better in another book so that Kelby could concentrate on teaching tips and tricks.Missing from the CS4 book are all of the great tips that were in the CS2 book.  I find that I actually use the CS2 book a lot when working in CS4 are rarely look at Kelby's Photoshop CS4 book.  Also missing is more information about adjustment layers.  Maybe I missed something by skipping his CS3 book, but to me, adjustment layers are the most exciting part about Photoshop CS4 and Kelby only devotes a few pages to them.I actually wish that I had saved my money and used it instead for training on Lynda.com or the Lynda CS's (Chris Orwig is very good)

  .  By using the Lynda training, my skills in Photoshop CS4 improved dramatically.  Because of the Lynda training, I can use curves and other adjustment layers without reservation.  I would recommend Lynda instead or in addition to this book.In Summary, with the chapters on importing photos from your camera, cropping and printing, this book would be very good for someone who is new to Photoshop and needs to know the basics.  However, more advanced uses who are familiar with Photoshop might be better served with a different instructional guide (book or DVD).  If you already own Kelby's Photoshop CS2 book, you really dont need to buy this one as well.

    Must buy
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2010*

Not fully utilizing CS4 then buy this! I am an avid photographer. Some location & outdoor but most recently in Studio Mostly Portraits/Glamor/Nude etc. A pro-photog friend suggested getting this to compliment my post processing - so glad I did; thought I was pretty good in Photoshop but having purchased this book my work is so much better. I am still using this edition as reference almost every time I use CS4. I would recommend this if you would like more professionally finished work. If you shoot in RAW this really is super way to improve your finished product. Scott really does give step by step instructions that produce beautiful results...........enjoy.

    Bridge and ACR techniques that work, but lack of background information
  

*by R***J on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2009*

Updated reviewThis book is an excellent intro to Bridge and ACR, but leaves a big amount of Photoshop tools untouched. This book is not a Photoshop class. It is a detailed step-by-step guide for photography postproduction techniques based on Adobe Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop. If you want to learn everything about Photoshop, this is the wrong book. If you want to tweak your RAW files all day, you will learn hundreds of awesome tricks here.Everything I tried from this book works very well. Unfortunately, I don't know why it works and how it works, because the author does not give a lot of information about the way the tools work, he is using.So after working thorugh this, you won't be the Photoshop expert who understands all tools and knows why one slider works better than another one. But you will be the guy who knows all the tricks to get your pictures look better.
