I found Photoshop to be difficult to understand,primarily because it is so comprehensive.This book shows you everything you need to know and it is very easy to navigate through your tasks.I would recommend this book to any keen digital photographers.

Great for a quick reference
This book is great for a qick reference and will provide te basics, no good if you are looking for many tutorials altough the book does contain some projects at the back.
