    Question Good beginers book for Photoshop CS2?

    I've had Photoshop CS2 on my computer for a coulpe months and all I've been able to do is change the size of my picture and change basic brightness and contrast. What is a good book out there that covers the basics of Photoshop that can help me make the most of the program? I'm going to take a beginers photo editing class at the local JC but it doesn't start till summer so I would like something to give me a head start.

    Books on the subject by Scott Kelby are always a good start.

    I'll second the Scott Kelby books. I recently recomended his CS2 book to a couple of local photographers that know almost nothing about photoshop. They LOVE the book.
