[...] I am SO excited for this week’s interview! Ever since the CS4 Missing Manual came out I have been on Lesa’s case to let me interview her. And if you don’t remember, this is the book that Scott Kelby himself called “the new Photoshop bible“! [...]

Hey Scott,

Another book to be added to my collection when your Down & Dirty comes out. Now for another subject.

I never was a fan of black & white until I downloaded the OnOne update this week. One of their presets changed my mind. The first default shown absolutely blew me away. And then…I opened the CS4 book for digital photographers. “Scott’s Favorite High-Contrast B&W Technique is now mine. Oh my gosh!!!

With what you show in the book along with the layer masks so you can copy the original G layer and then paint the mask to really add contrast.

SCOTT YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

Thanks for all you do,

Mike

The amtrack video was funny but, like you said, sad. Why are people so freaked out by pro gear?

Carlos Miller reported on his ‘Photography is Not a Crime – It’s a First Amendment Right’ blog yesterday that Duane Kerzic received a “five-figure settlement” from Amtrak as a result of his arrest for photographing trains in December.

We may have to win our First Amendment rights back one settlement at a time unfortunately.

Congratulations Scott. I have several of your books and thoroughly enjoy your writing style. It’s not often that I can find myself laughing due to the authors wit while reading a book to learn more about a software product.

Congrats. It must have been me pimping you out last year. Telling everyone to buy the Digital Phoography book and the IPhone book.
Also, The Amtrak video was great.

Hey Scott,
Did you see SNL’s “Sir Mix-a-lot’s Photo Shop” skit last saturday? It was hilarious and a brilliant use of the liquify filter. The whole premise was to retouch every photo to give everyone a big booty… much funnier to see, i promise. Here’s a link, check it out.
