Best book to learn Photoshop from the beginning?

**ennergi** · 11-12-2006, 01:27 AM

Hey folks. I'm looking for a nicely laid out, well explained book on Photoshop geared toward the complete beginner. Any suggestions on what I should pick up?

Thanks!

Well, I suppose that depends what you want to do with it. Photo manipulation, logo creation, something else? Anything good will be fairly specific.

Oh, I just need Photoshop for graphic design for use on websites

That's it really. The problem is I don't know the first thing about Photoshop.
