Can anyone recommend any books/websites to read up on Photoshop CS2? (e.g. general use, photo editing, layers, cloning etc)

Cheers :)

I have two with the same name

Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Photographers by Martin Evening

This is more of a technical manual and will explain in detail how to edit and fix images.

The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby

This is less technical and will give you an easy step by step guide on how to fix up you images.

Both are great, I had to buy one I'd get the one by Martin Evening but you cant go wrong with both.

Versuch mal "How to do everything with Photoshop CS2".
Kosted nicht die Welt und ist vom Author Colin Smith bei McGrawHill Osborne.

Sorry DSLRUSERS,
couldn't help myself here.
I've got "How to do everything with Photoshop CS2", author is Colin Smith, McGrawHill Osborne.
It doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
It is also in colour unlike some more expensive books.

HTH,
CD

I had a look at these two books at the bookstore during lunchtime today, both were very helpful.

I bought the Scott Kelly - The photoshop CS2 book for digital photographers purely because it is less technical and caters mostly for beginners. It has clear instructions step by step guides with pictures.

Angus Robertson at the citystore also offers 20% off for all computer books :)
