Take Your Photoshop Skills to the Next Level
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008You may have heard of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, or NAPP, and their publication Photoshop User (now you have!). A guy by the name of Scott Kelby runs the show over there and he recently put out a book that I had the audacity to purchase as soon as I heard about it.
It’s got a ridiculously long, albeit perfectly descriptive title: ‘Scott Kelby’s 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop.’ Ok, so maybe it’s not that long, but the point is, I’ve just finished going through the book and it’s worthy of mention. If you work with photoshop and want to do a better job of improving your photos, or need a more concrete process for improving them, then you want to zip on over to Amazon using our handy-dandy link and get yourself a copy.
There are 21 lessons in the book, so you get plenty of practice putting Scott’s methods to work. Even those of us who have been using Photoshop for a while will find some nice tidbits in Scott’s methodology that will help our own productivity.
Here is a picture I re-worked in Photoshop using a combination of my own methods with some of Scott’s. The goal was to take a fairly flat and boring picutre and add some color, contrast and POW to it. My wife was sure happy with it!
