Are there other better alternatives, that are not too detailed trigging my PS phobia? A search at amazon gives too many results. I'm not able to sort out what to buy from there. I can't buy them all ;-)
Tim Typo Mostly Harmless ========== http://tinyurl.com/ytnfrt Photoshop CS (or CS2) One on One by Deke McCelland I have found an excellent book. It takes things in easy stages with a lesson format. Each chapter has about 2-4 exercises. It also comes with a disk that has little videos, about five minutes each, that give the first stage of each lesson. The disk also has the sample files/pictures necessary for doing each exercise. I find books with a lesson format are good for learning programs I am unfamiliar with. If you read the reviews, I guess some people find it too dumbed down. I think it is just about right. I am half way through CS One on One and so far have only encountered one lesson that I couldn't quite duplicate what he did. It's about as close as you can get to taking a class. Some people are better at experiential learning, I know I am.
