I like what Scott Kelby has done with the Photoshop CS2 book for digital photographers. Scott Kelby's writing style (the "funny" style) takes some getting used to, but it's a source of excellent info. I see they also sell it bundled for some $40 with Bruce Frasers RAW book, which I have just ordered since I heard many good things about that.

Hmm. Finally, maybe an entertaining photoshop expert.

I find Mr. Margulis plenty entertaining. It's the kind of humor that you often only catch the second or third time reading a passage, but that's my favorite kind. It also makes the (often necessary) re-readings much more enjoyable.

As to favorite PS book after PS Lab Color... Why, "Professional Photoshop," of course

My favorite is Photoshop Studio Techniques by Ben Willmore.

Hmm I ended up getting this book. I couldn't find any of your guys suggestions at barnes & nobles.

It's pretty interesting since I don't know anything about studio lighting & portraits.
