Hello,

I'm fairly new to photography, i was using lightroom for simple trick on the picture now I have photoshop cs5 but find it really difficult to use. And i find online resources difficult to use.

Is there any cheap good book covering differente subject and/or tutorial.

A bit general for:
-doing nice black and white
-doing nice portait
-basic of cloning
-layers and effect like vintage effect, warming effect

A book which can also be a source of inspiration and not only a 1000 pages description of each tool.

Thanks
 
Take a look at the Photoshop books written by Scott Kelby - easy to read and very good. You might be able to find one in your library to check his style of writing/presentation before deciding whether to buy the latest edition.

X2 for this. Laid back informal approach - works for me. :thumbs:

Thanks for recommandation.
Looks interresting and at only 16.89 delivered on amazon, i might give it a go.
 
i have both the
Adobe ultimate cs5 photoshop for photographers
Adobe Photoshop cs5 classroom in a book
ebooks on my ipad, they both seem quite good so far, not really had much of a red as yet..

I have found the lynda.com dvd very good as well, easy to follow.. with the files they use in tutorials as well.. and copied the videos to ipad to watch along side so i can still work full screen
 
I have Martin evening's Adobe PhotoShop cs5 for photographers. It's a very good book plus you get a dvd with videos too. Ok it is £30 but well worth it in my opinion.

Highly recommend Martin Evenings book also.
Its got eveything you need its Mac & PC combined.
 
"Get the Most from Photoshop", Simon Joinson [sic], David&Charles. RRP £15.

Dense information content, great worked examples indexed on end effect required. Loads of 'tips' panels showing how to shorten workflows and use shortcut keys galore. Starts with basics but ends up covering reasonably advanced techniques too. Recommended.
 
An alternative would be to google anything you want to do with a photo, when using photoshop.. There are SO many guides out there.
Examples:

http://sharpen-a-blurry-photo.blogspot.com/
http://making-miniature-model-photos.blogspot.com/

Whatever you need done, just try searching google first, and I'm sure you will never have any editing problems. It will take some time to start with, but you will know more and more along the way...
