A book I am reading

I found this book, "Photoshop for Artists: A Complete Guide for Fine Artists, Photographers, and Printmakers" by Sylvie Covey as an ebook at my local library. I've only gone through a few chapters but very good so far. Some of it is basic in the early going, but it quickly gets into tutorial projects on using brushes and other artist tools to draw, paint, or create using Photoshop.
If you know of similar resources that offer more than basic tutorials on Photoshop paint tools, please post them.

The book got mixed reviews on Amazon. One review said it was written for PS CS4.

Thanks for the thread, bleirer! My library doesn't carry the e-book, but I noticed on Amazon there are several used paperback versions very reasonably priced.

Yes, copyrighted 2012, so it would be. So far the techniques transfer though. I guess the core layout of Photoshop hasn't changed that much.

2 books I have are Sam's "Teach Yourself Photoshop ..., in 24 hours" and Scott Kelby's book "The Photoshop Book for Digital photographers". Both were purchased about 16 years ago and I don't know if either is still in print.

One simple thing I would not have thought of is how to make an outline 'sketch' from a photo. She uses the glowing edges filter, which gives light edges, but then inverts it to give a 'drawing' with black lines. The amount of detail revealed is controlled by the sliders.
