    Great Photoshop book

    I got a splendid Photoshop book called, The Abobe Photoshop CS4 book, for digital photographers by Scott Kelby. It is truly a well layed out book that covers some great subjects. I took a couple of my older shots and used some techniques in the book and it made a good shot a much better one. I just started too. I highly recommend this book.
    Prevailing Conditions recommended it to me, I was picking his head on how he got such beautiful rich colors in his pictures.

    Re: Great Photoshop book

    I have yet to get any books myself, but I always seem to learn something when flipping through whatever my dad gets from the library. I've honestly found that online tutorials, such as the ones a photoshopessentials.com, the "you suck at photoshop" series on you tube, and the plethora of podcasts that I get from iTunes have taught me a lot so far.

    I have that book sitting next to me along with the CS2 version, LR2, The Photoshop Channels Book and volume 1 & 2 of The Digital Photography Book. Kelby does a great job with his books and keeps them simple, straight forward and easy to read and follow.

    Re: Great Photoshop book

    I know this a bit of old thread resurrection but I've been away for a bit. I just picked up the CS3 version of that book last week and am loving it. My first Photoshop book and I already know about 3x what I knew before including that it got me using Bridge and ACR instead of Canon's DPP. I picked it up because I wanted to get CS5 for some of its cool new features (education discount thankfully) but I figured I should actually learn how to use my copy of CS3 first.

    I've learned a lot more from online tutorials and most of them are free.
