I have never learnt Photoshop properly. Whenever need arose i would simply find the tutorial for that specific issue. As a result now i am good at some specific aspects yet not familiar with many basic tools.
Till recently i did not even know to use quick mask option. So please suggest some books and web site so that i can get my self educated on basic tools of Photoshop before i start learning more advance techniques.
I would also love to learn retouching, recently i did some and loved it. |

I can only agree. Martin Evening knows his stuff, and knows how to explain it well. |

i like any book by scott kelby
//www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321330625/qid=1147967455/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/103-6167770-8217408?s=books&v=glance&n=283155
anything this guy puts out is golden, he's one of the writers at NAPP's photoshop user magazine, which is also a great magazing w/ monthly how-tos and online video tutorials.
hope this helps.

You can also try The Photoshop CS2® Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby. It's very good and well explained.

Restoration and Retouching and Masking and Compositing by Katrin Eismann are two books that shouldn't be left out of your collection. I have these two and the one mentioned above by Martin Evening. In my opinion these are the only 3 books you need. |

Katrin Eismann's book is definitely a good one. I have some books by Dan Margulis but he's not always easy to read. One of his books called "Photoshop Lab Color" I would recommend since it's definitely something that could help an advanced retoucher looking for additional ways to deal with color corrections.

Some of the best photoshop tutorials I have ever seen are the ones by Vincent Versace. You can find his stuff at //www.versacephotography.com online.

I can relate to your problem. Right now in my computer room I have 13 5 inch looseleaf notebooks filled with tutorials. In addition, I have 11 more notebooks on photoshop and digital photography. You may be interested in the fact that 2 of the 13 notebooks are for DPC only. |
