I enjoy Scott’s pedagogy – he has a flair of writing in a tone that is approachable to the novice but with a few nuggets for the more advance users. This book is in a nutshell Margulis secret weapon arsenal: (1) Curves, (2) Channel Blending, (3) Sharpening, (4) Highlight and Shadows, (5) Apply Image and the use of (6) LAB space but with a few additions, masking in “painting with light” and RAW. Here, Scott diverts from the Margulis philosophy of only making global edits; and diving into “RAW processing.”
However, the story is re-told in the classical, engaging and always humorous Kelby voice making his books a joy to read and well worth the money. I hope what comes next is a joint adventure with the big three photoshop masters – Scott Kelby, Karen Eismann and Margulis in a narrative trialog.

I’ve read this book too, and I agree with your review.
