Kelby's New Book

[Duffy Pratt]

Has anyone gotten Scott Kelbys new 7 Point System book ?

I'm not ordinarily a fan of Kelby. His typical "trick" type books are too many trees and not enough forest for my taste. But this one looks interesting. It actually focuses on a method, instead of treating discreet tricks. And, by example and repitition, it seems to give some guidance on when you would want to use a particular tool, and when it would not be appropriate. I'm still thinking about whether I want to buy it or not, but from what I've seen from browsing in Barnes and Noble, it looks to me like its several cuts above his typical work, and well worth taking a look at.

This is one book that I'd highly recommend. It's an excellent guide for having a set workflow that really works. I posted my thoughts here - http://www.texasphotoforum.com/forum...t=point+system

As to the "too many trees and not enough forest", having talked with him, and other people at NAPP, they're aware that a lot of us are not just looking for specific Photoshop tricks, but also the bigger picture of WHY use certain tools, techniques, etc - more of the "bigger picture" aspect.
