An Idiot’s e-Book Guide to Photoshop

Photoshop is probably the most popular advanced image editor today. Although I myself don't use it often not because I don't like it but primarily due to unfamiliarity with the software. For people like me who wants to learn the basic and advance techniques in Photoshop, MakeUseOf.com published another e-book guide and this time its about An Idiot's Guide to Photoshop. This release is already a part 2 after their first publication last year (2009). This guide aims to bring Photoshop novices one step closer to image editing mastery. In Part II MakeUseOf worked with Azamat "Bohed" E. from TrueKolor.net.

Opening a Digital Image/Photo in Photoshop
