Mark;


Check out author Martin Evening.....I took a class at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and this was the the author they recommended.


The book I have is Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Photographers....see if he's updated to CS4....I find it easy to follow and easy to find the specific tasks I need to work on my photos.


I purchased it at Borders....cost is a bit hefty, 46.95, but I think worth cost.


It looks daunting, so just jump in.....the waters fine. []


Good luck


Bill
