I have amassed 14Gb of various online tutorials, Video and Text. many text were from here,

http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/catego...tutorials/

copied and pasted into Word doc
. I downloaded from Adobe, a 707 page CS4e book, that covers a lot.
I have only used CS4e, so no comments on Lightroom etc.
I would start with what I intend to finish with, now Adobe Cloud can be "Rented" for approx£2 weekly, giving you all. And updated to latest.

I found it difficult at first, was fortunate to get tuition, free, ad from an expert, put me on the correct road. I appear in the minority, as a lot say it was easy to get started!! Well worth, to me, the effort.

My experience is that any pic can be improved, with editing, (Not necessarily P/S), to fine tune.
Over editing, well that's personal, even Monitor differences can "Cause" this, again, to me.
The person to please is you!!

Here is a Link to my first real success with P/S, it did open my eyes.

This I would have binned, until I tried P/S.
