As an alternative, Adobe publishes the "Classroom in a Book" series with
Photoshop being part of it. 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:

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.
