Apples and oranges. Since I have both; Scott's How To books are always helpful and this one is no exception, lots of subjects covered with new images. I too had skipped the versions since the original. If you want a fool around in Photoshop book, have fun, learn some kewl stuff, Scott's book is great. Each topic is separate so you can bounce around to what ever interest you.
The Lab Color book offers an "new" approach to editing images, that's it. Nothing on how to use the clone tool etc, but in that regard it is vastly superior to anything on the active shelf in my library. One chapter builds on another which makes it read like a text book. I wish I had read LAB Color before I did a 375 image edit job a week ago. It would have saved me, and the client, several hours and a few hundred dollars. Wait a minute :) ...jf On Aug 18, 2005, at 5:15 PM, Jerry Yeager wrote: > Do you think it (this book) is better or on par than Scott Kelby's > update (Photoshop CS2 for Photographers) -- which is actually a > major overhaul and rewrite from the first edition? > > Uh, to keep this in the realm of the user's group, CS2 as well as > Elements DOES run on a Mac. > > -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
