Cost is $30-40. It also comes with CD. This particular book is organized into lessons with samples and assignments that takes the uninitiated through the basics of Photoshop usage. I have version 5 but have to say that, though it is very useful, easy to follow and use, I became bored and continued with "Mastering Photoshop". Check also Adobe's training program: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/training.html Joe I seek understanding and knowledge. I am fairly new to serious PhotoShop usage. I have a devil of a time trying to get the colors to accurately imitate the slides I scan. Could someone recommend a book that will lead me through the controls step by step, and maybe has some sample files to work on from a CD-ROM? I have seen a book called something like PhotoShop for Photographers, but it is always sealed up so I can't get a look of what is inside. Is this a good one to start with? I need something that will lead me through the processes. How do I use a histogram, what the heck does gamma have to do with anything, which level do I choose to correct and why... Any recommendations will be appreciated. Aram This message is made of 100% recycled electrons. No new atoms were destroyed in making this message.
