Looking for recommendations on training books for PS CS3

I'm not complete newbie to Photoshop, but I know there is so much more I could get out of it.... so I'm looking for a good tutorial book. One that isn't going to cost me an arm & a leg.
Thanks!

Michael,
No book will have solutions to all problems. Even the Web will come up short sometimes. That's what this forum is about.
I'd start with the manual, then spend some time with the Help files (F1). Yeah, the manual doesn't read like Faulkner, but it's not bad and has the solution to many, many problems. It does rely too heavily, nowadays, on "(see Help files)," but ink and paper have gotten more expensive.
Next, as someone else suggested, "Classroom in a Book," and work through it all, even the stuff you think you'll never need. You will pick up other knowledge, as you do those exercises.
At that point, decide what you want to do with Photoshop. That will narrow your book/training down to specific areas, like "Photoshop for Photographers," "Photoshop for Video," etc.
If you hit a problem, that you cannot solve with the manual, F1, "CiaB," Google and a search of this forum, please post your specific question.

  • Looking for a CS3 trial download or the DW 9 version

    Hello everyone,
    I am looking for the cs3 version of dreamweaver which is version 9. In the the dreamweaver, there is a template called spa. I am in urgent need of this template and need help in finding this. All old cs3 trail downloads have been updated to cs4.
    If you can help find or send me the file called mm_spa, that would be very helpful.
    regards,
    Patrik

    What is the extension of the file?  If it is CSS, I searched Google for that file and found people who are using it on their websites.  If it is a different extension you need to post the file extension.

    They appear to be the same, I would just give them a look over to make sure the tags match up to your document.

  • I'm the author of libpsd, and I'm looking for Photoshop CS3 specs.

    Libpsd is the Photoshop file format decode library in C language with full source code. My name is Patrick. I spent half a year to implement libpsd. I finished most of the features under Photoshop CS specs. So, I'm looking for the up-to-date specs. Who can give it to me? My email is [email protected] Thanks.

    In my view it would be wise to remove it from your site. This would be

  • Looking for recommend Java Training

    I have just spent a better part of a week trying to work on a java issue.  We are running Netweaver 7.01 as our Java server to our BW systems.  These NW boxes are Java (stack) only servers.  I would like to get more up to speed on managing, debugging, monitoring, etc on the Java side of things.  I am not even sure I have the terminolgoy right!  What courses have you taken that you feel were effective?  Right now my role is DBA (Oracle) and backup R3 Admin.  As we move to a more Java rich environment I'd like to help fix things (vs bouncing the server all the time).  I feel lost in Visual Administrator.  I see to many courses that say "The course does not introduce Netweaver fundamentals and administrations." which is exactly what I feel I need.
    Thanks!

    I was meant to go on a combination TEP10 course recently which covers the same contents as ADM200 and EP200, but that's hard to find (and was cancelled where I did find it). If you're just looking for the Java admin basics look at this course tree: https://training.sap.com/za/en/curriculum/adm_java-sap-system-administration-as-java-general-g/.
    ADM200 is almost certainly the one you want if you want the shortest (i.e. cheapest!) course focusing on just Java admin, though unfortunately I cannot yet speak from direct experience. Check out the curricula listed for yourself and don't forget to shop around the various SAP Education centres (that link is for South Africa but the curricula for the courses will be the same elsewhere as long as the version is the same). For example see this course tree from the US SAP Centre: https://training.sap.com/us/en/curriculum/ep_adm_us-portal-administration-us/. And don't forget that there are other combination courses like the TEP10 course (e.g. TADM10/TADM12) that might cover even more of what you're looking for - do some digging around to be sure of what you want.

  • Looking for Forms 10g Training

    Looking for Forms 9/10g accelerated training. Preferably somewhere in New York City area. Have looked at Oracle's own classes already. Also, interested in web-based class, if you can recommend something good.
    Thank you.

    Grant,
    Thank you for the two links you provided, but they refer to book/video material on Forms 6i, while my question is about Forms 10g. I have actually read that book and found it very helpful as a starter (for version 6i). I'd like to read something that goes deeper into Form's internals - for example, something that clearly explains Forms internal navigation process (and its interaction with user's navigation). Perhaps there is a good white paper on the topic, don't know.
    As far as Forms Docs, again I can only wish it was written the way Oracle db docs were written - you can find a chapter devoted to your general topic. Forms 6i Doc are rediculous. Information is provided in small poorly connected bytes. Frequently it is presented in a form of bare-bone reference, with little effort to explain the processes. I am only starting to use 9i/10g docs. There seems to be an improvement, information is more complete. Still, it is a helper, not a studying material. Frequently for in-depth look you are referred to a diagram, which I'm not smart enough to understand without additional explanation.
    If you know of some good in-depth material regarding forms internal navigation process, I would really appreciate it. I have to say that this forum is great in terms of helping out developers.
    Thanks.

  • I'm looking for a Deep dive type of training based on the 20467 course (Designing BI solutions with SQL 2012)

    I am looking for an instructor led classroom course around the Midwest, But everything I find is remote Instructor led class. And the online classes are only 6 hours 45 minutes a day, if you figure in a 45 minutes lunch, is it possible for one
    to learn the course thoroughly in 30 hours over five days?
    Although I took a class at CertificationCamps in Florida and they managed to compress a class from six days to three. but all we did was go through a book of exercises, and then go to our hotel rooms and memorize test Q&A. It was a waste of six grand
    and useless. I retained nothing two years later.
    Perhaps there are some Midwest (Indianapolis) BI developers who can recommend a place to go. Or let me know if you can really learn in a remote class.

    Hi Developer,
    If I understand you correctly, you are looking for deep dive type of training about designing BI solutions in SQL Server 2012, right?
    Since this is a non-technical question, I changed this thread from Questions type to Discussion. Hope some experienced person can help you.

  • Can anyone recommend online training for a non-developer?

    I am a new user of LiveCycle Designer (8.0).  I jumped into form design without any training.  I can design very basic forms.  However, I know absolutely nothing about writing script.  I'm looking for a recommendation for online training I can take just to help me do some basic script writing in LiveCycle.  I don't intend to become a programmer or a developer.  But, I would like to be able to create some basic calculations and scripts.  For example, I'm working on a training registration form.  I've got three check boxes (I'll attend session 1, I'll attend session 2, or I've been excused) and I'd like each selection to run a different sub-form.  I'd like to have all three subforms hidden until the corresponding selection is made.  I've gone through the help screens and have a very general idea of what I need to do, but don't have the knowledge to execute it.  I appreciate any and all suggestions.  Thank you.

    I can't help with online training, although I have found this very forum
    very helpful just by searching and digging around, I often found someone
    who has asked the question before me.  Also there are some (although only
    a few) good books available that help with just the thing you are talking
    about.
    For your specific example though (I wont attempt to convert my code to
    your example but I think it should be easy to convert once you look at
    your own form.):
    If you put this javascript on the "change" event of the radio button group
    containing your radio buttons you should be able to do what you want -
    modifying it to your own specs, of course.
    if (this.rawValue == "2")
            { Q1No.presence = "visible";    // Display the Q1No Text.
    else
    { Q1No.presence = "hidden";// Do not display the Q1No Text.
    The value "2" is the value of the radio button - found on the binding tab
    of the object palette - you will need to alter that to your own example.
    Q1No is the name of my hidden subform.
    You will need to also have altered the "Presence" of the subforms to
    "Hidden (exclude from layout)" found on the FIeld page of the Object
    palette
    Hopefully this heads you in the right direction with your own example

  • Looking for Book Database App

    I am looking for a book database app to keep track of my physical books. I have used a Windows based application called BookBag plus but it looks like there won't be an iPhone version. I'm looking for an app that offers barcode scanning and a database that will work on my iPhone, iPad and PC (via the web) at the same time. I've looked at iBookshelf and Book Crawler and they seem OK but they don't seem to work on multiple devices. From what I can tell I will be able to transfer my existing database via a CSV file.
    Any recommendations will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Looking for App for books owned (not ebooks)

    Looking for a simple app to keep tracks of books I own. The only one I have been able to find is Clz books (collectorz.com).
    It looks okay but something simpler would be better. And you need the app on your computer to add/edit anything.

    Sounds like a database to me. On a Mac I'd recommend AppleWorks as the simplest and cheapest solution; on the iPad I guess I'd turn to Bento.

  • Looking for training

    hi - I have been doing websites for a few years now, mostly
    for very small
    businesses. I am not a graphic designer per se, but I have a
    decent eye for
    style, but my websites are kind of flat-looking if you know
    what I mean,
    lacking depth or real character. And so I am looking to move
    up my skill set
    to match some others (who are taking some of my business away
    btw). I think
    I need to start by learning how to create some more deep,
    striking images,
    perhaps in the web graphic area or basic design. I am
    currently using the
    Macromedia suite of products, MX 2004. I have never used
    Photoshop, just
    Fireworks, but seems that most good designers use Photoshop -
    should I get
    that and train on that, or will Fireworks do, if so should I
    upgrade to 8 on
    everthing? And so I am looking for some assistance in the
    training area,
    even perhaps getting certified in DW? Thanks for any help!

  • Looking for a good beginner/intermediate Java book

    Hello everyone,
    I am looking for a good beginner/intermediate Java book. I have taken a couple of Java classes (Beginner programming + beginner Java) and have a fairly good understanding of the basics. What I want is a book that is going to build on that as well as give me some good practical problems to work on while I'm doing so. Can anyone recommend one or two good books that would fit the bill?
    Thanks!

    Those three books are all excellent, but are all beginner books. When it comes to intermediate books I think you need to go topic by topic.

    I am new to SAP Enterprise Portal (NetWeaver) and am looking for advice on SAP courses to take.
    I am looking to start with SAPEP (SAP NetWeaver Portal Fundamentals).  Do you know of anyone that has taken this course and could you tell me if it is beneficial to take as a preview to JA100 (SAP J2SE fundamentals)?  Can I continue with the Java courses without this class, etc?
    Is SAPEP worth the costs?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
