Subject: New to Photoshop, what book or tutorial would be the best place to start
On the Basic side of the fence there are the "Visual QuickStart Guide" for Photoshop, Learn Photoshop in X days..., and the various "for Dummies".
For more "meat" on your plate, any of the books that Jack Davis has written with give you more than enough stuff to play with (he writes many of the WOW books).
I have all the "Bible" versions in my library and you can find a lot of tutorials on planetphotoshop.com
Hopefully "we" will have a lot of resources available here in this forum.
Remember "there are NO dumb questions", so if you need help with an effect, let us know.

Hey there.......
I can honestly say that when I'm trying to learn a new program or system I usually try out the SAM's 24 hour books that can be found in Barnes and Noble, they usually keep the cost under $20.
But here are some links for you that I use for tutorials...
Sorry for the ton of links, but you should see the bookmarks of another dozen I have..... The only thing I can recommend is check out the links to other pages that these ones have on them...I admit I am a bookmark hog, and go through every link I possibly can.....
Ladydawg, don't apologize! Thank you for your generous altruism. I didn't have most of these links and appreciate them. I need them. :-) I'm also looking to buy the best-recommended books, but in the meantime want to suggest that playing around and periodicially checking the manual are great for learning. Pick a thing or two you'd like to learn more about, stick with those topics for awhile, then move on once you've become proficient enough. The importance of attentive "play" probably can't be stressed enough, unless of course you're on a project deadline.

I went to Amazon and found that there are tons of books on learning this program. I also read somewhere that there are online tutorials available but haven't found any. I've found the best way to learn any new graphics programs is to just experiment and learn thru trial and error but would like some guide that has exercises and tutorials. Any help greatly appreciated.
