The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers by #1 Photoshop Author Scott Kelby to Ship the Same Day as Adobe's Software

BERKELEY, Calif., April 5, 2005 - Today Peachpit announced its lineup of books designed to guide readers through Adobe(R) Creative Suite 2 (CS2), Adobe's software package which contains all-new versions of Adobe Photoshop(R), Adobe InDesign(R), Adobe Illustrator(R), Adobe GoLive(R), plus the recently released Adobe Acrobat(R) 7.0 Professional. Peachpit is offering books on all of the new applications for all levels of users. Its first title, The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers, by #1 Photoshop author Scott Kelby, will ship in early May 2005, on the very same day as Adobe's Photoshop CS2 software.

In The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers (ISBN 0-321-33062-5), leading author Scott Kelby shows readers the step-by-step techniques used by today's cutting-edge digital photographers, explaining exactly which settings to use, when to use them, and why. The book shows readers how to unlock all the new and enhanced features in Photoshop CS2, such as Adobe Bridge, the upgraded file browser providing multi-view file browsing and smooth cross-product integration. Aspiring digital photographers will also benefit from Kelby's tips on sharpening, digital body-sculpting, how to take advantage of the new Camera Raw features, how to color-correct any photo without breaking a sweat, and other helpful hints.
