IMHO, use video tutorials. A book (in the design world) can be ONLY used as a reference.
Try THIS ONE ; it's 17+ Hours long, a complete beginner's guide, aand, costs 'only' $149.95 on DVD :)
[btw, I disagree with Graffixnerd; if you're a TOTAL beginner, downloading fragments of tutorials will only make you nuts! I prefer a LONG, precise and consise course.]

The best way to learn photoshop in my opinion is through video tutorials. Check out lynda.com, i can say they offer the best photoshop tutorials in the world. :) it's only $25 a month for an unlimited access to their huge library of computer tutorials. :)

If you crop or edit picture in photoshop then you can do more things on it! just watch youtube tutorial to make your practice good.
Good luck

I agree. Books can take you only so far when it comes to web designing. You need to watch the tutorials on youtube or get hands on experience watching a web designer in action.
