New Book by #1 Bestselling Author Unveils Revolutionary "7-Point System" for Working in Adobe[R] Photoshop[R]

TAMPA, Fla. -- Imagine being able to open any picture in Adobe[R] Photoshop[R] CS3, and being able to make it a pro-quality image in just seven simple steps. Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3, the newest book by #1 bestselling computer and technology author Scott Kelby, does exactly that by revealing "The System" that will change how millions of people use Photoshop.

The premise behind Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3 is rooted in Scott's study of Photoshop techniques over his many years as a photographer, designer, and instructor. Scott discovered that there are just seven major features in Photoshop that one needs to achieve pro-quality images on a consistent basis. He then broke things down further and realized that of those seven major features, only certain parts or sections of those features really need to be mastered. Then, most importantly, he determined exactly when and in which order to apply these seven techniques to achieve outstanding results with every image.

Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop[R] CS3 is written in the same straightforward, fully-illustrated style as Kelby's other best-selling "how-to" books, such as The Digital Photography Book and The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom[TM] Book for Digital Photographers. Scott starts his readers at square one, and as the book progresses he shows how to unleash each Photoshop function until his entire "7-Point System" is second nature.

Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe[R] Photoshop[R] CS3 is currently on Amazon.com, the Barnes & Noble website, and on Kelbytraining.com. The cover price for the new book is $49.99.
