Question
Hi,
I have the adobe cs3 master suite. But my focus is in phototshop and later on how to coordinate them with the other programs in the suite. So can you suggest any tutorial or book that can get me in hand very well with photoshop. Especially starting at the basic level and goes all the way up. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Answer
Hi Heni,

I found the "Real World" series of books to be very informative. Real World Photoshop got me up to speed quickly and they go from basics to advanced tasks in each chapter. The Photoshop "Bible" series is very good also but I haven't read any of the recent ones(CS2 or later) ever since Deke McClelland turned over the reins to Laurie Ulrich-Fuller.

If you're serious about Photoshop, I would recommend NAPP membership. It's $99 a year but you get Photoshop User magazine and access to a huge assortment of tutorials and their user forum, plus discounts on software, books and seminars. It is well worth the price.
