books I have on how to learn to use Photoshop;

Scott Kelby's 7-point system. This was the only one I had heard of so I started with it. Probably not the best book for beginning Photoshoppers but it does teach you a workflow for improving photographs. It's heavily into ACR so keep that in mind. Since what I really want to do is make fantasy/surreal pictures this was a disappointment.

I wish I had started with Adobe Classroom in a Book. I bought it used off of Amazon...
