1.The Digital Photography Book by: Scott Kelby September 02, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.99 You Save: $8.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $11.80
This is a great book for beginners or some one moving from a point and shoot camera to a DSLR. The layout and content are great but if you have some experience either through a photography class high school or other you'll likely not find something you didn't already know.

2.Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition) by: Bryan Peterson August 01, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $25.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.13 You Save: $8.82 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $12.45
This is a good book for understanding exposure, very detail-oriented. But for me, it's a little bit too technical. If anyone wants to explore into this area of interest, it's the book for you.

3.The Moment It Clicks: Photography secrets from one of the world's top shooters (Voices That Matter) by: Joe McNally February 02, 2008

I consider myself an advanced amateur. Over many years I've progressed to the Nikon D300 with a nice assortment of gear. I bought this book after reading Scott Kelby's "Digital Photography Book-Volume 2," great book and very useful to amateur photographers. At the end of the book, Kelby strongly recommends "your next book" should be "The Moment It Clicks." So I ordered it. It is a fine book of pictures, with descriptions of how the majority of the photos were taken. However, you need to know this guy has more gear than imaginable (it's all pictured at the end of the book), and an assistant. Probably 98% of all the photos are taken with the aid of light boxes, movie lights, what have you. I guess my point is, unless you are an advanced professional, this is a nice book of pictures.

4.The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) by: Scott Kelby August 15, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $49.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $29.99 You Save: $20.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $26.00
Every time a new edition of Photoshop comes out, I buy several of the how-to books. Each one contains different useful tips and tricks. Scott Kelby's is always the best, and this is no exception. For example, have you ever wondered what LAB color is and why you should care? There's a step-by-step illustrated tutorial on how to give your color extra zip using this color mode. In fact, there are illustrated tutorials on all of the major features of Photoshop. They include screenshots, which many other guides neglect. Learn how to use layers to simulate filters, how to use shapes to create vector masks, how to create stunning special effects through collaging, retouching, and combining color touches with B&W. Chances are, if you've seen a stunning ... Read More

I bought this book to help me practice setting the exposure manually. It has beautiful and inspiring images that help motivate.

6.Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Voices) by: Scott Kelby October 26, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $49.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $29.99 You Save: $20.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $28.00
If you're the type of person who just wants someone to tell you what steps to follow to achieve a certain effect, and who doesn't want to learn the underlying reasons for anything, this book is for you. If you are entertained by lame humor accompanying your cookie-cutter instructions, this book is also for you. If you really want to learn Photoshop thoroughly so you can handle any situation that pops up in a creative way, you'll have to turn elsewhere. Ironically, reading a lot of Scott's books, as well as books by others, especially Dan Margulis, may be the best course for you. But you can't dispute that Scott Kelby is the best self-promoter digital imaging has ever seen, and he really knows how to take a little information and stretch it out to book length in a style that will please hundreds of ...

7.The Photoshop Elements 6 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) by: Scott Kelby, Matt Kloskowski March 28, 2008

I own an Imac. I've found this book, especially instructions related to printing, close to useless. Why is this so? Because the book is essentially designed for PC users, and details that a Mac user would need are offered as an afterthought. Which is to say they're cursory, poorly organized and often unclear. Photoshop Elements is complicated enough to learn without its capabilities being further muddied by someone who cannot think clearly or is basically uninterested in Macs. Many people, myself included, love using a Mac because we prefer not to spend hours tinkering with a computer (though I did that for years with a PC). This manual defeats the ultimate intent of owning a Mac. Someone needs to write a Photoshop Elements manual exclusively for Mac users. I regret having bought this one.

8.Layers: The Complete Guide to Photoshop's Most Powerful Feature by: Matt Kloskowski February 22, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $39.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $23.99 You Save: $16.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $25.47
Just the product I was searching for. Matt Kloskowski made this book very easy to understand and the examples are very well explain. This book is for anyone that wants to learn about Photoshop layers!! I will keep my finger cross that Mr Kloskowski find the time and write another book in the subject. I WANT TO BUY THE FIRST ONE!

9.The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos by: Michael Freeman June 01, 2007

This is a great book...But if you already have Freeman's "the image" you might expect more from this one.

I've been shooting film for many years, but I recently got my first digital camera. While some things/skills transferred easily, I found the choices and technology confusing or disorienting. I bought this book based upon reviews, and it has been quite helpful. It was a bit disconcerting to find that my camera, Cannon's PowerShot A650IS, didn't fit well into the three basic types reviewed, but that was not a deal breaker. This book, along with lots of practice, has helped me adjust to digital, and now I'm not sure I'd ever go back to film. I'd recommend Jim Miotke's book to anyone switching to digital or to those who want to sharpen their skills and get better pictures. It is well illustrated and designed, and it sits next to my computer as a ready reference.
