What are a few book books for digital scrapbooking beginners?

I have been doing traditional scrapbooking for 9 years. I now want to start digital scrapbooking. The trouble is I have no clue on how to procede. I am also fairly cyber challenged. I do not just need a book for dummies but one for complete idiots. I have a photoshop CS2 program that I am just learning. I also have Corel Paint Shop Pro XI. Can anyone recomend a few books that will take me through each and every little step?

1. Rather than recommend a book, I recommend the following software: Scrapbooks Plus by Ideasoft. You can purchase the CD at Best Buy for $9.99 or less. You load it onto your computer, it comes with a tutorial and there are endless options for you to choose from. It is very easy to use. Create and print!

Also, have you considered photo books from sites like My Publisher, Kodak Gallery or Snapfish? They have different pre-planned layouts for you to choose from and you can create real quality books! Costco gives a discount if you go through their site to use My Publisher. I have gotten many comments on the photo books I've made - they look like coffee table books and they're just as much fun to put together. Have fun!

2. There are tons of good message boards out there that will help you. Scrapgirls is a very good one that comes to mind. They also have online tutorials for some of the software. Check them out! www.scrapgirls.com
