photoshop books

[mbuckhurst]

I've got Adobe Creative Suite 2, but have only really used Corel Draw Suite in the past so don't really know where to start.

Are there any must buy books that cover this product? Or at the very least Photoshop CS2, I think its time I played around with my photos and justified the bag full of lenses, to the other half.

I don't need a beginners book though, just so long as the basics are covered in the first chapter - I'm in IT so am quite used to reading tomes by semi-literate sandle wearers.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 For Photographers by Martin Evening is superb as is Scott Kelbys similar named book.

There are loads of websites that provide free tutorials. Do a google search. You often get a better idea from peoples websites as you can download files to see each stage. There are plenty of 'actions' available FOC as well.

I can't recommend Scott Kelby's "The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers" book highly enough. I've learned so much useful stuff from it. Outstanding.

That's my 2p anyway. :thumbs:

If you want to make photorealistic montages, i would really recommend Steve Caplin's "How to Cheat in Photoshop"
