I have just received it from Amazon.com and tried all the codes I could found over the Internet. Unfortunately, none of them works and REGION ERR keeps on showing up. This new DVD player does not provide Preference as a choice.

buy this stuff all the time but I'm not sure why anyone buys it off Amazon because it is $4.17 a box here and its $2.00 a box at Walmart??

I'll admit that I didn't fully research this product, or else I would have avoided it. As with many many people who left reviews here, the keyboard function basically just stops working for no reason. The only way to get it working again is to reboot both computers, and then you are lucky to get i

Product Description:

Bestselling author Scott Kelby (Editor of Photoshop User magazine) is back with an amazing new collection of Photoshop Down and Dirty Tricks, including how to create the same exact effects you see every day in magazines, on TV, at the movies, and on the Web. It's more of those eye-popping, jaw-dropping special effects that made Scott's previous version an award-winning worldwide smash hit!

But this isn't just an update to his previous book--these are 100% ALL NEW EFFECTS from cover-to-cover to reflect the latest trends in Photoshop special effects and design. These are nothing but today's real world techniques--the same ones you see used by leading Photoshop photographers, designers, and special effect masters, and its all here in the only book of its kind.

You'll learn the most closely guarded inside secrets for creating the latest cutting-edge effects, including techniques that have never been revealed before anywhere! And the book is written so clearly, and is so easy to follow, that you'll be able to create every one of these amazing effects yourself. You'll learn:

  • Tricks professional photographers use to show off their work
  • The most popular effects used by the big Hollywood studios
  • The latest cutting-edge photographic special effects
  • How to fake all kinds of studio shots (you'll be amazed how its done!)
  • The type effects that are most in demand by clients
  • How to get stunning 3D effects without using a 3D program
  • How to turn simple snapshots into museum quality gallery prints
  • The most asked for new Web effects
  • Plus loads of advanced effects that look hard, but are easy, once you know the secrets

But Down and Dirty tricks is more than just a just an effects book--it's a tips book too, because on every page Scott includes a cool tip, a quick trick, or a timesaving shortcut, making this an invaluable productivity tool too! Plus the whole book is packed with design techniques, creative ideas and stunning layouts that will help you unleash your own creativity. It's all here-- "Just the funk and not the junk" and if you're into Photoshop, you're absolutely gonna love it!

Brilliant Book
4/6/2008
I have used many of Scott Kelby's books and every one gets better and better.
Everything is so well explained that even a relative beginner to Photoshop would be able to achieve these effects. Although some of these effects can prove to be more difficult with a bit of care and careful reading they can eventually be done.
All the effects , both with pictures and various text projects are really brilliant.
The only warning is these effects become a bit addictive and you rarely feel happy with un-altered images any more.

Useful tips and tricks
5/13/2007
This is not an in depth instruction manual for Photoshop CS. This does give the inexperienced user of Photoshop quick and easy tips for creating a variety of useful projects. Many of these projects will expose the new user to some of the powerful tools of Photoshop. If you want to learn all of the features of Photoshop then buy a more technical book or take a Photoshop course. So to get a start into the world of Photoshop this may be the book for you.

Incredible.
5/12/2007
This book is great for Photoshop CS beginners. It's packed with many tricks and techniques. You'll be saying, "So that's how they do that!" quite often. I have been able to take several techniques and use them and create variations for my own advertising.

Example photos are available on Kelby's website for download. Unfortunately, they have a BRAND X stamp on them and their quality seems lower, but useful none-the-less.

Great book for all Photoshop enthusiasts
4/1/2007
I buy all of the "Tricks" books for Photoshop. They all have great 'secrets' for achieving some really cool effects in a very short time. This book was no exception. Once you get one of the "Down and Dirty" books, you'll want them all. No Photoshop artist should be without them. If you want to hang with the pros out there, you need to know every one of these tips in this book. I recommend the "Down and Dirty" series for everyone who owns Photoshop.

Great book when paired with....

The Photoshop CS Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)

Both books are by Scott Kelby. He does a great job of telling you exactly what you need to do with the photos.
