Hello everyone,

I've recently purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4 and am now wanting to lean how to use it - learning curve, much!
Not having used Photoshop at all before, my aim is to progressively learn so I can eventually do image editing and also design work on it. To-date, I've used other programs for this but have now bitten the bullet and think I'd better convert to a Photoshop evangelist!  banana

I was wondering if any of you have recently purchased any books to learn (or hone) your Photoshop skills (from Amazon and the like) and, if so, would you be able to let me have some titles you found to be good (or not)? There are so many when one searches "photoshop cs4 books" (100+ titles!) that it's all rather boggling.  ohmy I don't want to specialise too early, if that's of any help with your recommendations.

In advance, many thanks chaps & chapesses! big grin

Scott Kelby has a load of Photoshop books on Amazon - he's quite popular.
