A good place to start

I bought this book a couple of years ago when I was almost completely new to art in general and digital art and Photoshop in particular. When I first got it I found it quite informative and inspirational, but I didn't make much practical use of it right away since I very much needed to work on my art fundamentals.
I've improved my skills a little since then, and when I recently came back to this book I was able to make much better use of it. The book is filled with useful information and is an excellent guide to making good use of Photoshop's features. And while Photoshop has had a number of updates since the book came out, I've yet to run into any problems because of that.
