I've recently got a hold of Photoshop CS2, I've never used it before, can anyone recommend a book or any resource that would guide me through th basics?
I'm in the same boat as you, i've just started using the official cs2 book, what i've read of it, it seems very useful.
Martin Evening's book, without question.
Scott Kelbys writing style is easy to digest and you manage to actually learn a thing or 2.
I started many moons ago using the photoshop bibles but its been a while since I looked at any of the current books available.
One thing I do is I look at the computer arts stuff they sometimes do one offs on photoshop that can do no harm looking at.
The Lessons are fun to watch ,easy to follow and although they dont follow the systematic pattern of a book, prove easy to recall as the starting and finished images tend to be on the CD.
The Photoshop "Bibles" really scare me The sheer volume of them just make me throw up my hands in horror!
