If you like books there are hundreds. I myself am a video person and there is only one place for that in my opinion. They are very very very good. Find all the photoshop stuff you need at lynda.com,. Especially titles by Chris Orwig and Deke McClelland. All depends on what you want to do. There are even specific titles for CS2. It is $25.00 a month but if you try it, you'll be hooked. They are excellent training videos. Another place that I really like but not quite as much but is geared more towards photography, is kelbytraining.com. They too are about $25.00 a month and in my opinion are not as detailed but cover more specific tasks.
Hope this helps,

Save your money, go to the library and look for book to learn the basics. A book on any version of PS will teach you the essentials, plus it's free. |
