[QUOTE="LouCioccio, post: 443681, member: 12542"] A couple of books that may help and do buy the paper back not the e-book. Take which ever book you decide to your local office store (Staple,Office Max,etc) have them cut the binding and put a spiral on it. The book(s) will lay flat. Barbra Brundage Missing Manual Elements 13 (I've used her books when our club taught Elements) very good at explaining, Scott Kelby Elements 13 but his is showing you how not much why although he will go into some stuff and finally the Adobe Classroom in a Book (which started me in the beginning with Elements 4). Almost anything I learned was following the book and the tutorials they have. The books will go into RAW very well and if you just bought a DSLR everyone is shooting RAW just some choose to have the final output from their Camera as JPEG. I still have my slides and negatives after a job and the same when I shoot an event I keep the RAW's. For now I would shoot RAW plus the lowest resolution JPEG's and see if I can match my RAW to at least or better. I only had one student who was unable no matter what he did he could never match his RAW out to his Camera JPEG. I told him it not to get frustrated if the JPEGs are pleasing for you they just shoot Jpeg's. Hope this helps. Also check around your locale to see if a club or organizations offer classes. Our computer club is gearing up for a classes on Mac OS X and Basic DSLR class come next week. Lou Cioccio [/QUOTE]
