Martin Evening may be the last best hope of comprehending the infinite complexity of Adobe products. There are those of us who are giving up on use of all the things Photoshop can do. Adobe doesn't seem able to manage them very well, either, so an early and unusual update on CS5 was sent out to cool the nerves of many jangled users.
Because of his very close relationship to Adobe Mr. Evening has an overview few of us can match. An accomplished photographer, his book is based on an eye long sharpened to photographic effect rather than "just another pretty shot." The material on shooting raw images is urgently required reading for every serious photographer.
And, because he has been at it for so long, Mr. Evening can ferret out new complexities that have crept into the coding on more than just new additions to Photoshop's burgeoning bag of tricks. This 746-page book and a superb DVD with video and text-with-illustration have answered every question I've raised since CS3 when I first discovered Mr. Evening's
abilities. Every new issue by Adobe has been met with the careful language and detailed explanations that have brought him is well-deserved fame.
On-line training is always very helpful but it is frequently necessary to have printed material to open and read for full understanding of the inner workings that make Adobe great to use but extremely difficult to 'grok.' This is the way to do it, with Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Photographers.Get more detail about Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Photographers: a professional image editor's guide to the creative use of Photoshop for the Macintosh and PC.
