I would HIGHLY recommend you get "The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers" by Scott Kelby. It is $29.99 at Amazon, free shipping, and worth every penny..

In my opinion, the web sites that do tutorials are random, hit or miss, and not comprehensive or organized well enough...

^^This is an excellent book, also if you are at first base with photoshop "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Classroom In A Book" is very good...

I would agree with this book suggestion as well. I have it as well...

... I have learned so much by watching podcasts on iTunes. The three I watch mostly are: Photoshop for Digital Photographers, Photoshop Killer Tips and Photoshop User TV. I'm not saying that I don't read my books, because I definitely do. Many of the podcasts are video podcasts and some techniques are easier to learn by seeing..

A previous poster recommended Photoshop CS3 for Digital Photographers ... very good advice. Scott Kelby writes for everyone to understand .. he doesn't dumb it down too much but definitely doesn't talk over your head!.

'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO, what a ride!'.

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference...

Thelittlephotoshop.co.uk and softutorials.com have got a heap of free stuff, I am a newbie also, these sites are really good, good luck, john...
