| Ive been trying to teach myself some PS basics over the last few weeks. Im actually pretty new to it, and feel a little bit overwhelmed at the moment. Anybody have any good advice on things to focus on? I do have some of the basics down, but I want to understand using layers/masks better. Are there any websites or books anybody could recomend? Thanks a bunch! :D |

| Either this book or this one are great choices. I strongly recommend picking one of them up. They will speed up your learning curve tremendously. |

| Also, look at the tutorials here. Head over to Adobe's website and they have pretty nice stuff also. And most important, carefully read the help in Photoshop, and you'll learn a lot of basics. |

Radiant Vista has a bunch of really cool tutorials, in video and pdf format - and free! An excellent video tutorial on adjustment layers on this page.

Bear_Music's Landscape Thread has a lot in it about contrast masking using layers, as well as some other useful tips for post-processing. While the main thrust is landscapes, most can be applied to other areas of photography too. Long read, but well worth it.

You can get a good start in the Photoshop Basics Mentorship Thread.
