This is "not just another Photoshop Book ..."™

"John, your photoshop book shows a deep understanding of the fact that in undertaking the writing of an instructional book, it's every bit as important to know what NOT to include as it is to know what to include.  When I sought other sources for information on the various tools and functions, I was immediately bogged down with overly confusing and useless information that I'd never use.

I spent a lot of time with your book, working thru each step in your workflow, and it really paid off.  Your book is the perfect overview of the program, and includes things that everyone will need regardless of the type of work they do.  From there it is easy to jump off into areas of greater concentration.  After spending about ten hours with your book, I feel more familiar with the program than I could have ever imagined."

“If you’re looking at Photoshop for the very first time, the application is intimidating.  Where do you start?  With someone that has done it for years, someone that has written books that can support the teaching, and someone who is a master printer that keeps it real!  John M. Watts, Jr. of Watts Digital is that person.  If you want to get started now, and crack open this powerful application - call John.  He will show you the simple workflow from Camera, to Bridge, to Photoshop, to printing!  After all, isn’t that want we really want - a fantastic photograph for the wall?!    

John keeps the teaching on track, he comes to your home, teaches you on your computer, and his wit will keep the stress of learning at bay. Never mess up an original file again - with John’s Master File lesson, understand the nuances of colors, tone, grasp the basics of layers, dodging, short cuts, and more!  We've taken John’s class and we own his book - and this is 'NOT JUST Another Photoshop Book'!"

"John, I have been working with Photoshop for almost 3 years. I am self-taught and I thought I knew a lot about the program. I’ve only studied 9 Chapters in your ebook and I’ve learned about techniques and nooks and crannies in Photoshop that I never knew existed. I’m familiar with some of the material in the book but you explain it in such a way that I look at what I’ve been doing in a different way now. Thanks for publishing this helpful book."

“I just got your photoshop book, and I can't put it down.  I like what you've done with this format and focusing only on what is needed.  You've cut through all of the nonsense, and got me to where I need to be.  It is right on.  I've seen many other books on PS, but this is by far the best for us photographers.  It's very easy to follow, and very clear to read.  It's well worth the money!"

"John's ability to create professional quality prints by using only core Photoshop tools is impressive. His method puts the power of Photoshop to work for those who may otherwise be intimidated by the software. I highly recommend attending one of his workshops and buying his photoshop book."

"John simplifies Photoshop with a smooth workflow that works for me every time.  I wish I had bought his photoshop book earlier on.  The K.I.S.S. approach takes the fear away and I'm using tools I wouldn't have considered before.  My confidence (and speed) is much higher and I can't wait to try the new things I learned at his seminars this summer at the Fair.  I know I can find answers to glitches along the way either in the book on my shelf (and computer) or from him directly.  Thanks, John---and my photos thank you also!!!"
