Title: entertaining the beginneers
Review: I scanned it in the bookstore and I thought it looked like it had something I could use. It does, but there is a lot of things I take issue with.The basic philosophy behind this book is that photoshop, and digital photography, is best mastered by getting "tips" and "tricks" that will go "bam!" like something out of Batman's utility belt. You just have to know what button to press on your digital wizard/photogee-gaw/hookah-and-also-makes-juliened-fries answer device and Presto! It's perfect.Many will find this appealing. And, Scott Kelby has got that appealing juvenile style a la Dave Barry which makes it seem at least like he doesn't take himself too seriously.However, his description of how to "color-correct any photo - FAST!" is so misleading I really have to take issue with it.I just wish I hadn't fallen for the glib tone and paid the huge dollars. What was I thinking?
