The Digital Photography Book, Part 5: Photo Recipes

Scott Kelby books -

Scott Kelby, author of the top-selling digital photography book of all time, is back with an entirely new book in his popular series that picks up right where part 4 left off. It’s more of that “Ah ha—so that’s how they do it,” straight-to-the-point, skip-the-technojargon stuff you can really use today that made part 1 so successful.
      Here, in part 5, he gives you what you’ve been waiting for: an entire book of nothing but those amazing photo recipes. But, he took it up a big notch by adding a behind-the-scenes photo for every single recipe. Now you can see exactly how it was done, so you can get that exact same look every time.

The Adobe Photoshop CC Book for Digital Photographers

Scott Kelby books -

Updated for all the newest features of the 2014 release of Adobe Photoshop CC, the approach of this top-selling book has broken new ground by doing something for digital photographers that’s rare–it cuts through the bull and shows readers exactly “how to do it.” It’s not a bunch of theory; it doesn’t challenge readers to come up with their own settings or figure it out on their own. Instead, it shows them, step by step, the exact techniques used by today’s cutting-edge digital photographers and retouchers, and it does something that virtually no other Photoshop book has ever done–it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why.
      This book includes coverage of all the newest features of the 2014 release of Photoshop CC that photographers need, such as improvements to Smart Objects and Layer Comps, as well as Blur Gallery motion effects and the Focus Mask feature. Scott also covers all the newest enhancements to Adobe Camera Raw 8.

Photoshop for Lightroom Users

Scott Kelby books -

Anyone who uses Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for image management, editing, and workflow knows it is great software, and it has only gotten better with each new version. But there comes a time in every Lightroom user’s life when they want to do something…and they just can’t do it. While Lightroom covers the vast majority of a photographer’s needs–many say it covers roughly 80% of a professional imaging workflow–it just can’t do everything a shooter needs to put the final touches on a great image.
      These users don’t need to know everything about Photoshop. They just need to know the essentials edits, techniques, retouching tutorials, and tweaks that they can’t perform in Lightroom, but which will take their images up a notch. Scott covers everything from compositing to adding text over an image to retouching to creating a book cover to advanced sharpening techniques. With Photoshop for Lightroom Users, readers will learn all they need to know in order to fold Photoshop into their imaging workflow with Lightroom.

The Photoshop Elements 12 Book for Digital Photographers

Scott Kelby books -

Adobe’s Photoshop Elements is America’s #1 selling consumer photo editing software, and this updated book—covering both Windows and Mac—breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers that’s never been done before: It cuts through the bull and shows exactly “how to do it.” It’s not a bunch of theory; it doesn’t challenge readers to come up with their own settings or figure things out on your own. Instead, it tells readers flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why. This book gives the inside tips and tricks of the trade for organizing, correcting, editing, sharpening, retouching, and presenting photos like a pro. Readers will be absolutely amazed at how easy and effective these techniques are—once they know the secrets.
The autor writes :
      Group shots can be a challenge. Everyone has to be looking and smiling at the right time. If one person isn’t, then you have to shoot it again. The real problem comes from the fact that you really can’t tell if everyone has their eyes open or is looking the right way from the small LCD on the back of your camera. So you get back and upload your photos only to find out that not one of them has everyone looking and smiling the way that they need to be. No sweat, with Elements’ Group Shot feature. As long as you have a few photos to choose from, you can create the perfect group photo afterward.
