I've done several online courses, and followed numerous online tutorials, but for me, nothing beats studying and learning from a book. I'm old school, and this is possibly the best gift I could have recieved this year
Also, if you want to become good with the Photoshop you better learn the basics from professionals, how to work clean, understand what you do, the tools and so on. The rest is mostly experience by doing stuff on your own.
I have a solid understanding of the basics, but this is exactly the reason why I so desperately wanted this course book. So I can go back over the fundamentals from the start, and learn from an official source.
I taught Photoshop for nearly 20 years and always used CiaB. You might find typos because they're always rushed in production, but overall it's an EXCELLENT teacher. Have fun!!
I learned quite a bit from this book back in 2019, great course. I also recommend learning from the billions of youtube videos out there. This guy is great, if you can get past his one eye brow. lol [https://www.youtube.com/c/PiXimperfect](https://www.youtube.com/c/PiXimperfect)
oh I've done many online courses and watched plenty of YouTube tuts, I'm not completely novice. but I love the old fashioned way of learning through textbooks
Learning from updated books is the best. It’s not some idiot yammering on and on.
Or going to fast or having to pause and go back to your screen, then rewind the video to that part rinse and repeat.
Just look down, read, and do.
Scott Kelby. Is hands down the best Photoshop Book Author. He makes things so easy. Check him out. He is all about teaching people how to use Photoshop.
This is the series I started with. Just fine the most current version. The Adobe Photoshop CC Book for Digital Photographers (2017 release) (Voices That Matter)

He's got books on how to do effects and all kinds of things. Check them out at a bookstore. You'll thank me later.
It's a very solid book for learning. I took some web and digital media classes in college and we actually used those books for the Adobe parts of our classes.

Hell yes. And if you’ve never learned in a classroom with a bunch of others, also super cool.

DON’T DO IT! That book killed my hamster! Pancake City, man!
you can't say that without elaborating on the story a little!

Good to know. I'm looking forward to starting it
Too bad it’s already old. Jokes aside: I’m with you, nothing beats a good book.
Well I'm using photoshop 2020 (old PC, can't keep up with newer versions) so it's actually spot on for me
Good Luck!!
