# The newb question...
Just a quick question, did you guys learn to use photoshop from some place (if so, where?) or did you just mess around with it till you got good?

# apparently
adobe.com have some decent tutorials. When I first *ahem* acquired Photoshop I decided to do some tutorials, then got bored and put kitten's head on a sumo wrestler.
In fact, I still do that when I'm bored.

I'm off to do it now.

Very good tutorials for photoshop.

Alternatively please google for tutorials.

# We steal all our pics from other forums.
Edit: Erm, start with large source images so that your mistakes are much smaller when you shrink it. Learn how to add to/subtract from selections. Use magnify to tweak your selections. And the eraser set to less than 100% opacity is good for blending.

I know how to use Corel PhotoPaint - can't remember ever actually learning it, used to play with it as a youngster - and I'm about to switch to a job where I'll have to use Photoshop and frankly I'm not too happy at the prospect...

# About ten years ago
I was told by my teachers that there was no future in making pictures using computers. So I taught myself Photoshop.

I then mostly forgot how to use it again until about a year ago when I came on here. It's a lot better these days, you don't have to turn the crank handle to get it to load.
