Can anyone recommend a good book?

[Sarky78]

I am a complete novice at photoshop and am looking for recommendations for a good book to help me get away from being completley incompetent with photoshop.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

I would recommend getting Adobe's own Classroom in a book. That series is very good.

Or you could try the 'Inside Photoshop' books from New Riders. I found the Inside Photoshop 6 book to be very worthwhile.

The above readings are very good, ShortOrder Adobe Photoshop is also very good.

There are many good references for photoshop but many are designed for different experience levels.

If you have a good bookshop or library you should spend some time browsing to find the one that most fits your needs.

hi

i would suggest picking up a photoshop video if you learn better from someone showing you rather than just reading about it.

http://www.photoshopvideos.com

the photoshop for beginners is very good (for beginners)
tie that in with a book and you will be set. the books will make more sense after watching the video.

but that is just me perhaps?

There is one book that stands out from all the others for "general" Photoshop learnng.

That book is Photoshop 7 Bible by Deke McClelland. The best source to get it from is

http://www.bookpool.com.

I have a very large PS library, nad this si the book to learn anything/everything related to Photoshop.
