Have a look at http://www.dcmag.co.uk/ and although it mainly covers CS3 and elements, there is not a lot of difference.

TheAdobre is an English fashion photographer who has written some fantastic books on this subject. His name is Martin Evening and his latest book is called:





';Adobe Photoshop for photographers';.





Try your library as well. Personally I stay clear of the ';For Dummies'; books. You're NOT a dummy and I find these books 'talk down to you' rather than provide clear instructions.





Hint for airbrushing, there is a special brush which you can set at a low opacity and make very slight changes. Personally I use the ';Healing Brush'; (I us Adobe CS3) . Apply at 100 % and immediate go to EDIT-%26gt;FADE HEALING BRUSH.

Current version of Photoshop is version 11. I can't even remember what version 7 could do.





Adobe Lightroom (called Adobe Photoshop Lightroom) has similar fine editing functions. http://www.adobe.com/lightroom that you may find easier to use.
