roopurt18 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 So I purchased a copy and have no idea how to use it. Can anyone recommend a good book on how to make the most of this software for web design?

zq29 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Unless you got it cheap, you should have waited, CS3 is just around the corner... Not sure about books, but there is a tutorial site called psworkshop.net that used to be quite good, but I haven't been on there in about a year or so...

jcombs_31 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 If you like video tutorials check out lynda.com (bittorrent) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/41222-adobe-photoshop-cs2/#findComment-200347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Thanks jcombs. I was going to head down to the book store this afternoon and pick up a decent book if they had one; but if I can't find a decent one that addresses the topics that interest me I think a month subscription to that site would serve me well. Can someone also, for shits 'n' giggles, explain why I bought CS2 over Premiere to my fiance. She's non-technical and it would really put her mind at ease (and consequently make my life easier) if she didn't have to worry that I just wasted a shit-ton of money.

jcombs_31 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Premiere is video editing. Photoshop is a graphics package. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/41222-adobe-photoshop-cs2/#findComment-200359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Well, if your fiance's general feelings toward you depend on it, then I'd be glad to. CS2 is a gigantic waste of money - you definitely should have gone with Premiere. And now that I've ruined your day with my nonsensical bullshit, I'm going to shamelessly plagiarize the works of jcombs_31: Premiere is video editing. Photoshop is a graphics package. If you needed video editing, then Premiere would have been the way to go - but there is simply no replacement for Photoshop. The Gimp comes pretty close, but not quite.

roopurt18 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 LOL Thanks neylitalo, I owe you one. (She was just overwhelmed with how many Adobe products exist and was worried I may have accidentally purchased the wrong one. For shame, to think I could make a mistake!)

dustinnoe Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 http://good-tutorials.com That one is the best in my opinion. Gook luck finding a decent book that's not geared toward photographers!

roopurt18 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 I actually found two books that look like they might be useful. How to Wow : Photoshop CS2 for the Web Photoshop CS Type Effects Picked up a couple magazines too. This should keep me busy for a couple weeks.
