Not really a tech / site problem......

I'm looking for some reviews, if possible. (If anybody thinks it belongs in the Tech forums, that's fine. I apologize.)

My work gave me Creative Suite 6 (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) and I'm a novice with these programs. I know raw HTML, but got used to FrontPage. I've taken lessons in Fireworks. I understand a bit about Photoshop.....it's a lot like PSP X in its format. I've not used Illustrator.

My main graphics program is PSP 7 (I have PSP X, but still prefer 7 because of Animation Shop). They don't really think I should be using PSP 7 since I now have CS6. And I'm more than willing to learn these programs; that's not a problem. I love learning new programs.

I was given a project to simply invert colors on a logo this afternoon and, while I got it done and it looks nice, it took me way longer than it should have taken. I was frustrated that I couldn't find the tools I was looking for and couldn't seem to figure out even the simplest things to do.

Does anybody have a good review of any books or manuals that I might be able to buy to help me learn these programs? I talked to my boss and they're willing to pay for them. Or I could even take classes, but I'm thinking books and tutorials might be cheaper in the long run.

Thanks!

I found a book that seemed to get good reviews and it deals with all of the programs. Amazon to the rescue.

I just needed something to give me a bit of a boost.

I only have Photoshop elements and am out of practice. :lol3: I did buy a book, from Amazon , when I got it though.

There's a lot of photoshop tutorials online.. Especially if you are trying to learn a specific thing

I know, but I was trying to avoid that. You see, when I was using PSP 7, I ended up with 9 thick notebooks about tutorials! And tons and tons of plug-ins and all kinds of other stuff. I'm pathetic.
