I have just purchased Photoshop CS.
I have barely scraped the surface of what this program can do, soooooo………

I want to obtain a good tutorial or manual!
What do you people recommend?
An e-book would be cool, but I’m open to any format.

Many thanks

I’d start with the official (Adobe Press) books. These are the best for the fundamentals. Not the most exciting – the others have the "fun" stuff – but the most useful in the long run. They used to have these large format "Classroom in a Book" series, but not any more :-(.

After that, a Bruce Fraser book on color management. Again, boring but critical.

My first step would be to get the PS CS manual, if it did not come with your upgrade. Next, Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book. After doing those tutorials, you should have a handle on the power of the program and a starting base. Google has thousands (maybe millions) of great tutorials, but most are specific to a task. I don’t have any recs of e-books, but bet there are many. The Lynda.com training books with CD/DVD seem very good, but I’ve never used her material on PS, only Painter, Flash, Dreamweaver. They are well done for those programs.

"Classroom in a Book" by Adobe Press is a good book for people with no experience with Photoshop. Work through all the examples and you’ll have the basics.

I’m kind of a newbie too, but I just found this site:

http://www.adobeforums.com

Check it out. It will have a lot more information than this group I think.

Are they still called that? I associate that title with the old giant-sized books with the glossy paper. I’ve only seen the regular-computer-book format…

Ah, who cares. Whatever they call it, it’s good.

As of the CS series, yes – still Classroom in a Book.
