digital image help

[blustocking]

Can anyone recommend some good sites for Photoshop questions/help/tutorials. Any books that were especially helpful for digital photography and/or Photoshop? Something that would have something basic about resolutions and re-sizing.

And one question I have, when I make something Duotone, why can't I save it as a JPEG? Is there a way to save it as anything but .PSD, .EPS, .RAW, or .PDF?

*sighs* I should go to bed early for once.

Thank YOU! I have 6.0 as well and all of my "knowledge" comes from trial and error. But if I really want to improve my photography/digital images, I need to learn more about it. Especially resolution, as it baffles me too. ;)

My camera's set at 1280x960, but I re-size my web images to 400x300 generally. I have no clue what resolution is best for that.
I will definitely check out that tutorial tomorrow. :D

thank you!

See, that's where I was really messing things, changing the dpi to 300 for web. Ugh.

Okay...this might be what you just said, but what if I were upping the dpi to 300 then making the image smaller? That's going to fuck up the quality, isn't it? Because that's what I've been doing. :/
