Just got my new CS4 Photoshop. Geez, there used to be a fat book with CS. Now I can't even get online help to work. The videos included in the set seem to be just little teaser ads for buying more instructional videos. Am I missing something? A lot of stuff is somewhat intuitive, but I was working in Bridge and t looks like you can create a web page....but I can only get one image to work. Grrr.
Any suggestions for finding basic+ instructions?
Looks like several of you have found frustrating stuff-wish I had answers for you.
Cindy, try NAPP's website (National Association of Photoshop Professionals). Another way to go is what I do...I belong to Scott Kelby's Online Training and they are coming out with a bunch of new training videos for CS4 - some are up and running now. It costs $20/month to join but I've learned an immense amount of stuff that books never touch on from them so it's been worth it to me.
Otherwise, I think you might have to wait until all the new books come out before the big Christmas rush!
I too belong to Scott Kelby's online training course, the amount of information is overwhelming! I like the videos I find I learn from them a little more easily than books.
Another option is lynda.com. $25/month. One of the optional freebies with my CS4 download was a free month. They have a good 8 hr course on PSCS4 essentials, and just added a 15 hr course on PSCS4 for photographers. Haven't looked at that one yet, but the essentials was pretty good (and can't beat free).
CS4 general help??? No Book??
