Photoshop - how to become a great user...
I have had photoshop for several years sitting on my computer - Please tell me how I can learn to use this program properly. Are there any good books/videos/software that can help tutor me into doing more than just the lowest level tasks.
The program came bundled with a digital camera that I purchased, so I never got the manual (although I have to say that most computer manuals are totally USELESS!) |

Photoshop is very intuitive. You can learn most of the basic/intermediate functions by simply playing around with it.
Check out: http://www.phong.com/tutorials/ Thats where I learned a bunch of stuff... |

Wow... Ashton, Peach, those really help out.
*bows to the gurus of Photoshop* I use Photoshop to edit pictures I plan on using for commercial things (like CD covers). I know it's not really directly related to Photoshop, but are there any tips either of you could give me? Thanks. |

Wow! Thanks all - They will come in very handy. I've wanted to learn what the 000's of other functions of photoshop do for a long time, and how to start professional photochopping...
Cheers!

I personally taught myself photoshop by using the tutorials at deviantart.com, as well as looking through their images and trying to duplicate them...I've found that if my photoshopping is goal-oriented rather than just trying to make something cool, it works a lot better.
Also, if you have the money, do your self a HUGE favor and go buy a $99 Graphire tablet. You'll thank me for it the first time you have to freehand a selection mask. |
