Shameless Plug For New Scott Kelby Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 Books

Scott Kelby’s The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Book for Digital Photographers” is now available online and in bookstores.  I believe Kelby Training is still offering a free CD of presets if you order now.   I’m already using Lightroom 3 and have the book and presets CD on the way.  His tips and tricks make using the application within my digital workflow that much more efficient.   If you’ve never used Lightroom or use it and never utilized Kelby’s previous books on the subject, I recommend it.  This new version includes his “7-Point System” for Lightroom which allows you to obtain quality, repeatable results quickly.

Another shameless plug is for his upcoming “Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers” due out soon.  You can pre-order on the Kelby Training site and receive a free “Photoshop CS5 7-Point System for Camera Raw” DVD.  Of course both books are cheaper if you are a NAPP member. 

Some new things to learn in CS5 include:

               Processing HDR (High Dynamic Range) images using CS5’s new Merge to HDR Pro.
               How to master CS5’s new Content-Aware Fill.
               How to color correct any photo in just three clicks with the included gray card.
               How to take advantage of all the new Camera Raw features to process RAW images like a pro.
               A special bonus chapter with Scott’s own Ps CS5 workflow.

Visit Kelby Training to find out more about their available books, DVDs and on-line courses.  They have so much content it’s hard to find the time to learn it all.
