I own a PC with Windows XP.

Most PS books are aimed at the MAC and even though they give Windows instructions, the illustrations are for the MAC.

I am interested in a compressive Adobe PS CS2 book for the digital photographer. Has anyone read the following book?

"Complete Photoshop CS2 For Digital Photographers"

Is it aimed at the MAC or WINDOWS?

Any good?

I bought Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Photographers by Martin Evening when I upgraded from Elements and found it very good indeed on both Photoshop itself and other bits of colour theory. It has detailed instructions for both Mac and Windows.

Most CS2 books are for both Mac and Windows, giving terms for both types of computers. My favorite book is Scott Kelby’s The Photoshop CS2 book for Digital Photographers.

Photoshop for Windows and Photoshop for Macintosh are virtually identical. The only thing you have to remember is that the OPTION key on the Mac is the ALT key on Windows and that the COMMAND key on the Macintosh is the CONTROL key on Windows. If the book talks about CNTL-click on the Mac; that’s the same as right-click on Windows.

Do not know the above book, or the author. As has been mentioned, Scott Kelby does a nice one, especially geared for photographers using PS. As has also been mentioned, nearly all the books that I have seen in the last 10 years have been very much X-platform. Yes, one might have to look in the (‘s for the MAC, or the PC keystrokes, but the program is almost 100% the same, regardless of platform – plug-ins and add-ons might not be.

For photographers, using PS, I really like the Ben Wilmore "… Studio Techniques… " books. They are version specific. There are many more good ones. Is there some specific areas that you are most interested in: color correction/reproduction, retouching, image manipulation/assembly? This will help othes to give worthwhile recommendations.
