anyone has any recommended reads on learning photoshop?
Thanks for the input!
Rashkae: I was browsing in the bookshops and there were so many of them.
Didn't want to just grab any and waste precious dollars thus am asking for opinions here. =)
yes, borrow from national library than you don't have to buy any,use the library if you don't want to buy the books
for an example, when I need to learn how to use smart object,
it is very easy to understand from the tutorials found in youtube rather from the books.
I fully agree. It's much faster to look at the online resources and have good bookmarks (with video too) than flip through a book imho.
most photoshop books is best for giving you an overview,
beside, the photoshop is updating every year or two, books soon will be outdated too.
the photoshop has so many features,
I will not need some them now, learning using them is very hard for me to understand,
beside the book usually will not cover the features in very detail
but if I when need know how to use them,
all I need is to do online searching.
