Videos are not the best for everyone. I have severe high frequency hearing loses in both ears. Fast speech patterns and accents can make for very difficult conditions, even with a headset. It depends on the presenter and viewer. I use videos and written "manuals".

For me, video instruction is best..I can start and stop, replay. I initially started with what I think is a very good PS CC tutorial by creativeraw.com and from there found online videos on the areas I wanted to concentrate on. His videos are simple, pretty detailed and he keeps adding to his list. and you can fast forward if you find it a bit wordy or you already know that particular thing. You do have to purchase his series but it is a lifetime purchase. He will also respond to any questions you might have.

I highly recommend Tony and Chelsea Northrup's books on both PS and LR. They are extremely well written and organized. They also come with a key to unlock videos of not only the book, but other topics as well. The videos are excellent and easy to follow. You can download the book after you purchase it so you have a travel copy. When updates occur, there is no charge for the updated videos or downloads and there is no annual fee. I bought from Amazon rather than their website. Here is a link:

I'm looking for a good instructional or tutorial book to learn how to use Photoshop for photogophers. I have experience with adobe Lightroom. I've read reviews on
the PS Bible by Dayley, PS for photographers by Martin evenings or PS by Scott Kelby. If you have a recommendation i would be most appreciative.

Most learn via video tutorials on line. Seems like reading is becoming a lost art. Youtube is the place to go. good luck..

it goes on sale quite often so a little patience will pay off. It is a very complete and thorough well explained set of videos.....well worth even the $199

Thanks. I was not making a universal statement. I said, "not the best for everyone" and explained one (my) unique circumstance. I don't feel I was refuting your post.

One thing I like about Lynda is that you get a short, video (~4min) and a word for word printable transcript as well. The beginner videos are usually spoken clearly and with great detail. (For example, Tim Grey)

Thanks. I've viewed tons of videos, including Lynda's. I did not know about the printable transcript. That certainly appeals to me.

There is a set of Adobe Photoshop tutorials out there. They consist of lessons that will help you learn Adobe. I have two sets that I received during a college course I took on video. We used pictures and Avid to make airplanes fly around a mountain and disappear behind the mountain and then appear to come from around the mountains backside. Simple Avid work and fun to know how its done in the movies. You could check on Adobe's site to see if they have it.

Quite right. For me, I like the option of having a book. I can read and then do what I want to do. The book is open the software is open. I just find it more convenient. Your local library might have something close to what you want.


I agree, a book is easy to reference. Between a book, u tube and formal instruction I should hopefully master the software. Thank you for your thoughts.

You already mentioned the Photoshop Bible, it is one of the most complete writings about the subject and highly recommended!!!
