Title: Don't Quit Your Day Job, Scott
Review: Scott Kelby's 'Photoshop CS Down & Dirty Tricks' did teach me one or two new things I never knew before (the rest were acquired for free on Adobe's Studio Exchange website), but at what cost? First, the author subjects his readers to the most juvenile, inane humor(insert question mark here) in the introduction ("Preamble") and at the beginning of each chapter to make us believe he not only is the Messiah of Photoshop but also way cool. Second, most of the effects in the book are geared for graphic designers. There's very little usable information for the digital photographer. What is written concerning improving or tweaking an image is gimmicky and really doesn't do anything to improve the overall image. As a photographer, I wouldn't recommend this book at all for someone who is looking to improve the overall quality of their images.
