Hey all,

I'm new to photoshop CS4 so bare with me if what I'm asking is obvious or anything like that.

I bought CS4 to generally edit photos ive taken on my camera (which isnt an issue i've been able to learn quite quickly how to manipulate exposure and colour etc). I'd also like to create my own images aswell (if at all possible).

Would like to know if there are any good books out there I can read to really get started on this. I checked on the O'Reilly website but they didnt have much in the way of beginners.

Anyone able to help me out?

Thanks

Check Amazon.com. Just do a search for Photoshop. I have a couple books. One by Scott Kelby and the other escapes me right now and I'm not at home so I can't grab it. It wasn't that great anyway.
Try googling for tutorials as well. You can usually get more specific on what your looking for that way.
Good luck and welcome to the forums as well as Photoshop! :)

Hi Roshape,

I'd definitely recommend Deke McClellands Photoshop CS4 One on One for beginner's who want to know all about the application. Here's the link-

http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-One-Digital-Media/dp/0596521898/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227124125&sr=8-12

Hope that helps
Matt
