This update is so important, because if there was ever a version of Photoshop that was aimed at digital photographers, Photoshop CS is it, and "The Photoshop CS Book for Digital Photographers" by Scott Kelby (Editor of Photoshop User magazine) once again 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 it out on your own. Instead, it shows you 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.
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 Photoshop book on the shelf, because they all do that. Instead, this book gives you the inside tips and tricks of the trade that today's leading pros use to correct, edit, sharpen, retouch, and present their photos to some of the most demanding clients on the planet. You¿ll be absolutely amazed at how easy and effective they are¿once you know the secrets.

Great tips & tricks for the personal photographer:
If you love photography and love to present a flattering or stunning photo to your friends and family, this is the book for you. I love working in Adobe CS and I have worked in it for a few years.

EXCELLENT:

Same book, different cover.:
This book, like many photoshop books, is just the same thing over and over. How to retouch photos, how to use layers to change the intensity of an image. It's a good book if it is your first photoshop book and you're looking to learn the basics, but it is nothing beyond basic.
Great book:
These book have helped me to do things I could have never done without reading. Love these Photoshop books.
