OK, so I have the book and the first four chapters are about history, the process, etc. Most of the emphasis is on creativity and ideas using compositing. So, how do you translate an idea into a Photoshop project?

I have an idea for a picture. I want a star-lit background, basically a dark background. Then I want a picture of my grandniece in the lower left hand corner. Her face will be somewhere around 1/6th of the photo. Her face will be brightly lit and the picture will draw your eyes to her. She's looking up at the stars (3 years old) with one of those looks where you know she's thinking, learning, imagining. Then I want a small inset of her parents (my niece) about ½ way up the right side, dark like the star background, but large enough you can identify them as her proud parents, looking down at her, enjoying her delight in learning about the stars. Now in the upper left, also dark, but recognizable, I want the grandparents (my sister), looking down on their child and their grandchild, lovingly and proud watching both of them with equal fascination. Sort of three generations watching each succeeding generation growing, learning and leading the way for future generations.

So, I know little about Photoshop, I have this book that tells me to dream of a picture/project, but I am not an artist and I have no idea how to start to create this picture. What do I do?

For reference  and text books, it is hard to beat eBooks.  No pages flopping over at the wrong  moment, the ability to search the entire text………….

I'm using a Kindle Fire, but it works the same, it's just 7" instead of 10". It looks like exactly what I was seeking.

What I like about the eBooks is that I have a Samsung tablet, so I put the book on it. I can then prop the tablet up in front of my computer. This way I can follow the text and examples and work them out in PS without either getting in the way. It is like a dual monitor set up, but the second monitor is  small : )

Thank you – I got a copy, it looks great, at 507 pages it isn't exactly east reading :-) but it's well illustrated.
