ryan_lensman Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 <p>I've been passionate about photography for many years. I've pretty much taught myself, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book that will teach me how to really bring my photographs to life using photoshop?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natureslight Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 <p>For me there is no better resource than Scott Kelby's books. Which depends upon your version of Photoshop and, of-course, how you learn best. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Two books by Jeff Schewe, who sometimes drops in here: "the Digital Negative" and "The Digital Print" But the educational aids that really opened up up Photoshop's capabilities is the DVD set "The Fine Art Figital Workflow" by John Paul Caponigro and R. Mac Holbert: http://www.johnpaulcaponigro.com/store/dvds/fine-art-digital-workflow/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph_dickerson Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Check out Grey Learning... I have a problem with the Kelby books as they tend to be "recipe" books and don't really get at the underlying principles I have taught digital photography on a college lever and used the Kelby books because they had been adopted by the previous instructor. As Rafa says Katrin's books, or anything, print or internet, by Tim Grey would be a great place to start. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I go back to version 2.5 of Photoshop, and every time I upgrade, I get another copy of the Photoshop app in the "Missing Manual" series. Good for learning and then stays good as a reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Williams Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I can't say I've used the current (or even a recent) version, but I liked the edition of Martin Evening's 'Adobe Photoshop for Photographers' I bought well over a decade ago, and it looks like the most recent update is well-reviewed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Claude Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 My best experience by far is here: Lynda: Online Courses, Classes, Training, Tutorials The teachers are Adobe people. Well filmed, very clear, all levels, can hardly beat them. You may also download the pixtures they use so can exercice. You pay 25$ monthly but you get 1 month free trial. Worth giving a try...
