Look For
Katrin Eisman, (Retouching)
Martin Evening
Channel Chops (bunch of Authors, including Monroy–
book has some age on it, but until you get channels
you won’t get your money’s worth from PS)
Ben Willmore, (Photoshop Studio Techniques– Ben is a good teacher, not just a talented photo editor, and he has a way with channels, selections, and
a lot of stuff even the gurus here probably don’t know about– he’s also a nice person IRL and not overly impressed with himself. You won’t suffer through bad jokes and wink-wink-nudge-nudge cutesy stuff… the talk is straight, the language as jargon-free as possible )
Dan Giordan, (Art of Photoshop– this book is beautiful, but a bit pretentious.
The only really important thing is that is has good content if you can tear your eyes away from the pictures long enough to read.)
Russell Brown’s site is better than his book. He’s brilliant, funny, creative ……..and actually best in person.

I’d appreciate some Photoshop CS book suggestions to learn from as well as a few sites where I can find tutorials. I am an experienced amateur photographer and have a basic knowledge of imaging products like Photo Shop and Photopaint. I’d like to dive in at an intermediate or advanced level with PS 8. Thanks
