Hi,
it's been about a week now that I am diving in the forum to improve my knowledge in digital phot, even if I started to use it a year ago. But I was really never satisfied with the result, as I had a hard time to figure out what I had to start with.
After some reading, it was a bit better. But I had to deal with poor result in highlight, soft pict etc... especially about the print.
I am still note really comfy with all of that process.
So now I am ready to make some change, I mean to force my brain to make it. and also improve the hardware.
And I need a good book or website to make my digital work look better. From curves, levels, do I need to work on both, contrast, sharpening, color profile.
I learned a lot this last week, but I am still confused.

Any help?

( in case that's usefull, for my film work I use a pentax 67, and a D70 for digital with a canon i9100... sounds out of age?)

There is a lot of information on the main page of this site.  Radiant Vista has a lot of videos on photoshop and whatnot.  Certainly worth looking into.

Not sure what kind of book you might want.  Photoshop for nature photographers is nice.

Oh and this guy http://www.digitaldog.net/ has a book on color management you may be interested in.

I'd look to the main page of this site for MR's digital work flow primer.  Um, somewhere on this page, I should think ...  http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/

Look up Ron Bigelow.  He has done a lot of good articles on digital photography.  Another good way to get your feet wet.
