I have just ordered Photoshop 7.0 and I’m starting from scratch! Please recommend a path that will bring me to a point that I can use this very sophisticated software reasonably well in PHOTOGRAPHY. What book(s) would you recommend that would be a good starting point. I’ve checked to see whether any colleges in our area offer a course in Photoshop, with no luck. Please don’t tell me to "Forget it!"….I’m a retiree who’s determined to learn! Thanks for your help….RP

Two good ones to start with IMHO for photography work would be the old standby:

I’m sure that others will offer up more.

William,

Here’s a link to a recent thread that gives tutorials, books, etc. There’s some extraneous stuff to sift through,
but lots of good ideas. Check out the FAQ’s etc.—tons of good info in the forum.

Enjoy the power of photoshop.
