Any books by Scott Kelby are winners. I just picked up one of his called "The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom2 Book For Digital Photographers." He also has several CS3 books out. Books by Martin Evening are also very good. Hope that helps

'The CS3 Book for Digital Photographers'.

And assuming you have Lightroom v.1, 'Adobe Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers'

I'd suggest Martin Evening's books for both.

Along with what's mentioned above, have a look at Katrin Eismann's latest, "The Creative Digital Darkroom".

Thanks for the replies,I didn't know there was that much out there.I guess I should have asked for a book(s) aimed more at a computer challenged person.I feel that I have a pretty good knowledge of photography but I am WAY behind on the digital processing part.

The books I recommended need no computer knowledge aside from using a mouse and a keyboard.

Take at look at these sites they are way ahead of the hardbook lag in current photoshop and lightroom. I always find these a great learning tool.
