Quite frankly there is so much to Photoshop that it?s impossible for all the variations of even one aspect to be covered in an evenings talk; this is my reference book list. All of these books are kept on a shelf above my workstation and are referred to daily.
Basic bibles that tell you what does what.
?Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Photographers? Martin Evening Focal Press £28.00
?The Photoshop CS2 book for digital photographers? Scott Kelby New Riders £31.00
?A-Z Adobe Photoshop CS2? Philip Andrews Focal Press £17.00
?Photoshop CS2? Weinman & Lourekas Visual Quick Start £17.00
Tricks and usage books
?Secrets of the digital darkroom? Peter Cope Ilex Press £18.00
?How to cheat in Photoshop CS2? Steve Caplin Focal Press £ 25.00
For the more arty approach
?The Art of Photoshop? Daniel Giordan Sams Publishing £36.50
?Erotique Digitale? MacDonald & Cook Ilex Press £ 18.00 ( adult content)
And a book that?s not about digital imaging but it will teach you what makes a superb mono print. Remember if it can be done in the darkroom you can do it in Photoshop, you just have to work out how.
?Black & White Workshop? John Blakemore David & Charles £22.50
and a couple to make you think about your photography
'On Photography' Susan Sontag Penguin books £ 4.99
'The Ongoing Moment' Geoff Dyer Little Brown
This list is by no means difinative, if anyone has any additions please let me have tham and I'll add them to the list.
