This is what I liked about the "Dummies" books, they assume you are an idiot before you start reading, and so long as the end result is what you were hoping to achieve, the technical bits don't matter a jot. Photoshop is confusing enough for professionals at the start, let alone beginners, if anyone can tell me what "Desaturate" and what a "Gradient Map" is without a diagram to refer to I would be happy to see it, (No I don't want to know now).
So, it looks like I shall be doing a lot browsing in the book stores of Brighton in a couple of weeks time. The wife won't like it , but what the hell.
