Title: In-Design CS4 Tutorials on book making
Post by: Josh-H on April 10, 2009, 01:16:30 am
Can anyone please point me toward some good tutorials on learning how to make an e-book in indesign - I am starting from scratch with indesign - no more knowledge with it than having just opened it.

Any pointers or help greatly appreciated.

What do you expect to accomplish with InDesign that cannot be done with Photoshop, as suggested here?

Everything. Photoshop does image manipulation, ID does design layout. Totally different beast.
If you want to work really slow then you PS to layout a book. If you want to move fast and smoothly then ID is the programme to use.
Imagine if you laid out a 100pg book in PS; it would be ten times the size of the ID document.

If you are looking for tutorials on ID, look at lynda.com they have some great ones.
