Photoshop Lessons......

[big pix]

I have purchased 2 new Photoshop books for PSCS2, which can be purchased from Amazon.com, and cheaper than what I paid,

1: Adobe Photoshop CS2 "Classroom in a Book", I am about half way thought the lessons in this book and I am finding it very very easy to follow as all the files are supplied on disk. It starts at basics and it is well worth starting at this level even if you know a fair bit about PS as you get to learn a lot of short cuts and other ways to use the same old tools.
Chris you do not need this book.

2: Adobe Photoshop for Photographers by Martin Evening. I have found after a very good browse that this book is for the more advanced. I have only read the first 2 chapters and had a good look further into said book and with some more experience it will become a great tool and help.

Both books will not be far from my computer as I will be using the 2 as a great source of reference. CD's are supplied with both, and can be used on mac and pc

Thanks for the info Bernie. The fact that I don't actually need any additions to my Photoshop book library never stops me from adding to it.....

Good choice the Martin Evening book......I also have this one and agree it is very in depth but really worth the slow read it requires.

i too have martin evening's book and i'm finding that its quite good for people like me (who are just starting to learn about post procesing). Chapters are in depth but they do explain things well.

I recommend it for someone who is solely using photoshop for photographic reasons.

Bernie I also have Classroom in a Book and it is an excellent easy to follow publication.

Has some great video tutorials and pdf tutorials, a lot relating more on the photography side too.

Check them out. I've just downloaded pretty much all the videos and will start viewing them in the next few days.

Great site.
