Are you Ready for an Elements Book That Breaks all the Rules? This book breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers that's never been done before-it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly "how to do it." It's not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge you to come up with your own settings or figure things out on your own. Instead, it does something that virtually no other Elements book has ever done-it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why. If you're looking for one of those "tell-me-everything-about-the-Unsharp-Mask-filter" books, this isn't it. You can grab any other Elements book on the shelf, because they all do that, Instead, this book gives you the inside tips and tricks of the trade for correcting, editing, sharpening, retouching, and presenting your photos like a pro. You'll be absolutely amazed at how easy and effective these techniques are-once you know the secrets. Learn How the Pros do it Each year I train thousands of digital photographers, and almost without exception they have the same questions and face the same problems-that's exactly what I cover in this book. You'll learn: * The secrets of how the pros retouch portraits * How to color correct any photo without breaking a sweat (you'll be amazed at how they do it!) * How to repair and restore damaged photos * The sharpening techniques the pros really use (there's an entire chapter just on this!) * How to deal with common digital camera image problems, including removing noise, and avoiding halos * The most-requested photographic special effects * and much more!Kelby, Scott is the author of 'Photoshop Elements Book for Digital Photographers' with ISBN 9780735713925 and ISBN 0735713928.
