These are the two books about Digital Photography that I use and recommend:

Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Photographers: A Professional Image Editor's Guide to the Creative Use of Photoshop for the Macintosh and PC (Paperback)

I use it as a reference when I'm trying to figure some Photoshop technique out. One of the best out there about how to use Photoshop from the photographer's point-of-view.

"Everything is explained clearly and there are plenty of colourful images to help back up the words. All of this alone would be enough reason to go and buy the book, but there's also the CD to get excited about. In addition to source images, this little gem has video tutorials and extra instruction. You get an awful lot of content for the £27.99 asking price, and we'd thoroughly recommend you buy this book." - Photoshop Creative

Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS2

"Call it a control thing, but until recently–or, more specifically, until the availability of digital raw camera formats–you simply weren’t ready to make the move to digital photography. Raw formats, however, changed all of that by allowing you to retrieve images before any in-camera processing has been performed. Photoshop’s Adobe Camera Raw plug-in makes that process even easier by providing a standardized way of accessing and working with these uncompressed digital negatives in your favorite image-manipulation software. In the first volume devoted exclusively to the topic, best-selling author Bruce Fraser shows you how to take advantage of Adobe Camera Raw to set white balance, optimize contrast and saturation, handle noise, correct tint, and recover lost detail in images before converting them to another format. After learning about the raw formats themselves, you’ll discover hands-on techniques for exposing and shooting for digital raw, using Bridge, Adobe’s new standalone file browser, to preview images and automate tasks, and building a workflow around the digital raw process."
