If you are looking for a great Photoshop CS4 book with a digital photography slant then "The Adobe Photoshop CS4 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) " by Scott Kelby may be for you. Scott has a unique writing style that minimizes the tech jargon and trys to keep things straight forward.

If you are looking for a book to get some of the basics of photography down then you may want to try Scott Kelby's other book "The Digital Photography Book". It covers all the basics of photography without the technical explanations. This is a how book that most any photographer will appreciate.

My favorite software for managing a enhancing my digital photos is Adobe's Lightroom 2. Kelby's got a great book for Lightroom too. If you have Lightroom consider The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) .
