Thank you once again, Scott Kelby, for another excellent book! This one is brand new, for Photoshop CS3. As a new PS3 owner, I was really glad for the good section on Bridge use, as well as camera RAW. Kelby is always clear and concise in his instruction, great color illustrations, good easy to understand "how-to" steps. For beginners and for more skilled technoids, too. Nearly 500 pages of good, practical help; a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for.

I had bought this book for the version of Elements I had before I got Photoshop and it was a good reference for me since it taught many of the same techniques, using the same photos, but the screens and tools in Photoshop to help me learn the difference between the two when trying to do the same technique. Great book - just gets the job done. You immediately want to open a photo you already have and try it out, and when you do you see instant results.

Not my usual read...this is a nonfiction book for digital photographers using Adobe Photoshop CS3. Before you start snoring, this guy has a sense of humor AND he knows what he's talkin' about! VERY useful...great resource.

I think I'm going to end up hating it. It's littered with bad jokes.
