Humayun, certainly your opinion is valued and in most respects I agree with the RTFM principle, except that in my case I need a bit of extra help with FM (note: FM = functional manual, yes there are other ruder adjectives
) - this thread has been helpful in garnering info on books which have helped others in their PS experiences. (as an aside, when I purchased CS4, Adobe has included a freebie tutorial/video from a training mob
http://www.lynda.com/ which I'll definitely be using)
In terms of artistic freedom, information overload, etc - yep, hopefully won't be an issue...
