I am new to Photoshop, any recommended book to follow?

I am new to Photoshop, any recommended book to follow to learn?  Or what's the best way to learn how to use Photoshop?

The "CLassroom in a Book" is a pretty good start. Also be sure to download the PDF of the User Guide (not sure if it's up for CS6 yet).
A lot depends on what your background is, and what you mainly want to use Photoshop for - design, retouching, animation, etc.

  • I need to get a new printer/photo scanner for my new Mac. Any recommendations?

    I need a new printer for my Mac. Also want to scan old photos and slides. Any recommendations?

    You really need to determine what the priorities are. For example, scanning slides is not something you're going to be able to do with a multifunction printer.
    It might be to your benefit to cost out dedicated printers and scanner. Then you don't need to compromise one thing for an other.

  • Recommended  book on EBP

    Hi all,
    Got to know about you through your valuable inputs in Knowledge management regarding SRM. Currently I am working on SRM 5.0 Configuration. I am trying to replicate vendor and material data from IDES R/3 system. However, when I employ the transaction "BBPGETVD" for getting the vendor data, the system does not identify the vendor root organization I have created. I have put in all the needed attributes settings for the vendor root thru the transaction "PPOMA_BBP"..
    Regarding the material download, are there a sequence of pre-requisite steps which I would need to employ to replicate the data from R/3?
    I am also looking for the EBP configuration guide (latest). Can anyone tell me any recommended  book on this?
    Regards,
    Sonali

    Hi Sonali,
    In SRM5.0, YOU NEED TO CREATE A SEPERATE ROOT ORGANIZATION for VENDOR in PPOCV_BBP.
    After creating vendor root organization.
    Run: BBPGETVD, this will ask for org.unit, put the org.unit of ROOT VENDOR.
    Then you can see your vendor in PPOMV_BBP.
    Before replication pls ensure vendors are not blocked in R/3, and IMP. you have maintained Purchasing data for that vendor in R/3.
    Best Regards,
    ANIL RAJPAL.

  • Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript for flash?

    Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript
    for flash?
    Intermediate level
    I have been using flash for about 2 years more as a hobby
    than anything else, some websites etc but now I realise I am going
    to need to learn more actionscripting to do what I want, I have
    come to terms with the simple stuff like goto – basic
    variables – load mov – enough to programme up website
    navigation.
    I ideally want to learn more about the dynamic side of flash,
    mostly for designing user interfaces and websites etc
    I’m after a book that doesn’t get too heavy too
    fast yet I’m a little past the more basic functions
    Any thoughts?

  • Any recommendations for buying a printer for my Mac Book Pro

    Looking to buy a printer for my Mac Book Pro!! Any recommendations???

    Any will work. "AirPrint" compatible printers will work even better, since they require no setup whatsoever, and will even work with iOS devices  (and with some compatible android/windows phones) you might end up buying.

    Trying to get my New iPad to mirror certain apps to my apple tv. Apps such as showtime anytime and hbo won't mirror on apple tv. Any recommendations?

    I purchased both the apple tv and VGA connections for my iPad so I can mirror/project this image onto my television. When I purchased both of these items from the store, I was told it would support this feature. Is there anything in development to allow me to mirror the image or connect it via the VGA connector to my television?

  • I synced about 50 books to my new ipad air 2.  When I click any other books, the sync starts all over again for all books (it shows 51 books syncing).  If I abort the sync, all of a sudden, all books are gone from my ipad.  I don't know why.

    Hi were you able to resolve yours?
    I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
    Perform a hard reboot
    Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

  • CMYK color chart/color book -- any recommendations?

    Hi folks,
    Any recommendations for a CMYK color chart/wheel/book?
    Thanks

    'PMS' is obsolete, it is Pantone now, and if you say just Pantone, that is ambiguous because there are all kinds of Pantone books.
    The printer is not after the cmyk breakdown, if they were, you would know that they are not colour managed.
    They DO NOT require the numbers!
    The way Pantone Matching works, is that the swatch (printed with certain dot sizes by a particular printer) has a particular appearance in specific circumstances:
    eg: *  A blueish swatch in your "Pantone coated process" book has a particular appearance
          *  You choose the swatch
          *  The Swatch appears in your swatch palette with a cmyk mix based on your working profile and a name defined by Pantone, NOT fixed numbers as you might have thought.
          *  You output a press ready PDF to the PRINTER's nominated profile, the numbers change!
    This is correct behaviour... the numbers will be different at each printer's RIP because they have fine-tuned their plate screens to output a colour that is close to the ideal appearance of the reference swatch.
    If you saw the colour defined as 50 Cyan plus 20 Magenta that does not mean they see the same numbers, that is exactly the point, the numbers are irrelevant which is why you don't specify colours in CMYK terms any more.  The printer might see 48 Cyan and 23 Magenta due to their using a different ink set or dot gain characteristic on their press but they will get the same visual result.
    This happens because both parties (Press and Pantone) and you have looked at the same reference and calibrated their equipment to suit.
    Pantone made the book, you adjusted your monitor and proofing device, the printer adjusted their press/RIP/proofer to all look alike.  Each device has a colour profile that tells the next device how it saw a colour, the colour management software converts one to the other.
    There..... colour management in a nutshell of infinite size. (as per Hamlet)

  • I can't apply any of the 15 Matte PS Actions add-on filters to image. New to Photoshop. Help.

    Just installed the 15 Matte PS Actions add-on to Photoshop. But can't work out how to apply the filers (all listed in the Actions Window) to the image I am working on.
    Relatively new to Photoshop. Any help would be awesome.

    What go you mean by "Matte Ps Actions"?  Is that just a typo for "Mat"?  Where did you obtain the actions?
    Have you read the Photoshop Help files on playing back actions?
    Detailed information is needed before others can help you?
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • Any Illustrator book recommendation?

    I know how to use Illustrator, I'm definitely not a beginner. But what I am looking for is a Illustrator book that has master techniques; mostly creating text and text effects for logos . Most of the books I read are about brainstorming or how to get inspired.
    I'm looking for techniques to take me to the next level. Any recommendations?

    Different learning styles. The OP asked for a book.
