Photoshop CS5 book - suggestions please!

[jedipie]

Hi there

I have recently bought CS5 (student licence) and have never used it before

Can anyone suggest a good book to use as a guide? Something off Amazon would be beneficial as I have a credit voucher with them

Thanks guys!

I have just bought Martin Evenings books on CS5 and Lightroom 3 and can really recommend them very well written, interesting to read and excellent diagrams/pictures.
The CS5 book also comes with a DVD.
Bought them both off Amazon for approx £18 each

Scott Kelby has a book on CS5. It's superb!

You don't have to read it in order either. You can just find the chapter you're looking for and treat it like lots of individual books.

A second vote for Martin Evenings books, Scott Kelby is good but I find his jokey style a bit much sometimes.

evening as a manual/refrence on why to do stuff and kelby as a "how to do this" sort of book
