I want to choose between a book to work through for photography in CS5 as well as some graphic design work. I have these three books in mind

Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Photographers: A professional image editor's guide to the creative use of Photoshop for the Macintosh and PC by Martin Evening


The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelb

Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Photographers: The Ultimate Workshop by Martin Evening and Jeff Schewe


If there are others please let me know. I want something I can work through like a text book, do projects etc. Any of these have DVD's attached with them?

Restoration and Retouching using Photoshop, by Katrin Eismann.

I must own >20 book on CS, and that, by far, is the best. Odd title, excellent content.

Was wanting to see what all the fuss was about in CS5.In the The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby. You can walk through step by step with him, no videos or dvd with it.I am really new to the digital world myself and use LightRoom and don"t see me dropping the $$$ for CS5

I have the Scott Kelby book. Very nice. Easy to understand. I like his humor too.

I probably wouldn't have dropped $700 for it either, but I got in on that Adobe offer a few months ago for $299. Couldn't believe it at the time, but I jumped on it.

EDIT: according to spesmeadeus the $299 deal is still available. Definitely worth that price.
