Hello

I am a long time user of  Painter (now with Corel) but i have recently bought Photoshop CS5 and just used it a little.

 I want to learn and becoming more efficient in using it

I am searching a book  for it  Some suggestions ?

I have learned Lightroom 3 with  Martin Evening's book  Excellent !!but the one he have wrote for Photoshop is so big and too limited to photographers (i like photography a lot but i need Photoshop also for design graphics ,paining etc)

I did a research in Renderosity forums but the research index give me lot of things without links really with my subject (see my title subject)

I am a french speaking person  but i read english and all my softs are in english version

Thanks

 

I've always used the "... Classroom in a Book" books. They're the "official" training workbooks from Adobe Systems. Whenever an upgrade comes out for any of my Adobe apps, the company gets me the books to help me get up to speed on whatever the changes are...

granted a lot of the times it's not that necessary to get another book, for every upgrade but i've found those books have been the ones i go back to, or train others from...

searh for Adobe Photoshop CS5 User Guide at Amazon.com . . . I got my manual for CS3 from there . . .

Thanks byheart

I got the help file in PDF format

 For the book  i still hesitate between the scott Kelby one and the Missing book

For now i finish the Martin Evening 's book on Lightroom 3 .I find it excellent and i learn lots of things.After i attack Photoshop book
