Rating:  - The Easiest Way to Learn Photoshop CS2

Scott Kelby has a way of teaching you to use this very complicated program that you'll be amazed at how fast you're editing your images like the pro's do.
My edition looks like a tattered mess due to it's use and how many times I've thumbed through it to find a solution to one of my problems.
If you own CS2, ... Read More
