I’ve been burning the midnight oil getting all my shows ready for the upcoming cruise (8hrs of all new shows). Well yesterday something came up that threw my well planned schedule to the wind. Scott Kelby’s new book arrived and as you can see by the cover, I was up all night reading. Bloody good book folks!

This isn’t a book to learn how to turn your friends green after an all nighter, give you mother in-law two heads, no no. This is a book for photographers who are in the business of visually communicating. This is not some reprint of an old book, but new text with tons of great, new ideas on how to polish your images. Our capture devises while good don’t capture everything we see. Our images also go to many places, not just the computer monitor. Scott’s book is full of techniques for cleaning up color, sharpening, presentation either by print, web gallery or a host of other ideas, organization, black and white conversion and the list just goes on and on. And all of these techniques take advantage of all the power and ease of Photoshop CS3.

I’ve got to go know, I didn’t quite finish reading the book. You can get your at your local bookstore and NAPP members, be sure to pick yours up at the NAPP store online, or at the NAPP store at Photoshop World at the end of the month. This is one monster of a book!
