What is the best book to learn Photoshop CC and Lightroom? I'm a beginner and like a hard copy.

Just got Photoshop CC and Lightroom and want to learn to use it properly. Was thinking a manual would be the best way. There are so many available, what are your favorites?

    For the photoshop CC you can read "Adobe Photoshop CS6 Classroom". Also you can check here to get reviews of some best photoshop books.

    Manuals tend to be dry and heavy going, and more suited to used as a references, rather than to be read in a linear fashion.  If you do want to go that way, the Missing Manual, and Bible series have been around for a long time, and I imagine they must contain heaps of info if the size of them is anything to go by.

    The Scott Kelby books are a good choice for beginners, because he tries to introduce humour onto every page, which makes them easy to keep reading.

    A good half way between the two choice are the Adobe Classroom in a Book series, which are laid out in a home learning fashion.

    My best advice is to use Amazon, and read the Customer Reviews, so long as there are at least a dozen or so to give you good sample rate.

    I meant to add that Adobe have really made an effort with on line tutorials in recent years, and if you have a half decent internet connection, they are an excellent way to learn

    Also follow Julieanne Kost's blog for daily tips on Photoshop and LR

    And Kelby TV.  There is heaps of stuff on Kelby TV, and The Photoshop Guys have to be as good as they come.  Heck!  With a bit of practice, they could come on this forum and answer a few questions, once they got the hang of it.
