Hey Only Site - I'm looking for a Photoshop book for my wife. She's looking for something geared toward beginners. Anyone have any recommendations? I know there are some whizzes on this site.

(leaves door wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open)

I've never been one for your fancy book-learning (so I can't speak from first-hand experience) but I've heard good things about the "Missing Manual" series from O'Reilly and Adobe's own "Classroom in a Book" um... books.

http://oreilly.com/catalog/0636920001140/
http://www.adobepress.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0321701763

(Naturally, check which version of Photoshop she has first. The differences between versions of Photoshop these days are fairly minor in the grand scheme of things, but they do like to move some shit around between iterations and it could get irritating trying to learn on a different version than is shown in the illustrations.)

Is the Missing Manual a No-Spin Zone?

They instruct, you decide.

I'm a huge fan of the O'Reilly books.  When I had to quickly learn programming languages and such (like Perl and Korn-shell) I relied very heavily on them.
I don't get that KurtEvans photoshop.

They have proper books now? They used to just reset and bind man pages.

Go with that.

I'm going to have to side with Fork on this one.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

So, I told Powen's story to my wife, thinking it was hilarious. She said, "Well, can't he reschedule it a few hours later?"

I will never understand the female mind.
