Hello all,

Can anyone recommend a good book that can teach me how to create great UI / custom graphics with the effects and features in Photoshop?

hi,
from a quite" experienced" designer, i'll tell u no books would not be d way out of exposing urself to creativity. most books teaching ui design nd other design peripheral r outdated nd only teach basic stuff using the author's own methods, mi advice wuld b to use online tutorials from sites such as , psdtuts,kirupa, design o blog, designfuit, gomedia e.t.c, i'll let u a secret .chek out creattica .com for inspiration, it doesn't get beta dan dat site, criously.

u can add me on yahoo mssng, gadskid4u@yahoo.com, lots of luck

please can i use adobe photoshop to change the background of my picture, pls how can i do that?

i will say practice n online tutorials. lol
i don't have photoshop anymore becausei downloaded bootleg copy online n deleted it off my pc since it was taking too much space (foolish me i was young. lol)

Go to adobe.com and download tria version for free, other than that i cant see how you expect to get the full version for free if you really need it then why not pay for it.
