I basically learned photoshop from this book. The concepts apply across the board, not just to landscapes. I think if you are at all able with computers, that you can learn the fundamentals of photoshop through this book, and having those, it is very easy to go the rest of the way on your own and master the program. Well written, easy to use book. One of my two favorite books for leaning digital photo post-processing.
