Wondering if anyone knows a good book to read that will help explain PhotoShop on how to use it.

Google Lesa Snider, Scott Kelby, katrin Eismann for starters

Ok, so Photoshop CS5 also includes the Raw converter and parametric image editing application plug-in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR, CS5 uses ACR 6), and Bridge which is an image organizeer and browser that its tightly integrated with CS5. For instance Camera Raw can be hosted by Bridge and/or CS5. Bridge can also be used to directly access CS5's batch and automated processes.

By the way it's just one word Photoshop, with no camel capitals like - PhotoShop.
