          Yeah, you just have to get in there and fuck around, for hours and hours on end...I tried gimp after using photoshop for years, and it is a total piece of clunky shit.

            I recommend the book dummies for photoshop, not joking...what the dummie books do is use parts of other books and give you a condensed easy to read format. What else works are those $5 learning cds sold on ebay.

            Most of the tutorials I have seen online will just confuse you if you don't know the basics 1st. It is one of the most powerful programs and even the pros learn new things all the time.

                    Here is how I learned.

                    Step 1. get picture of juicy
                    Step 2. light doob
                    Step 3. cut out head
                    Step 4. smoke doob
                    Step 5. find pic of tranny
                    Step 6. finish doob
                    Step 7. paste head on tranny

                    Follow these steps and you should come out with terrible chop:


                    After a few thousand of these you will be ready for more advanced techniques such as putting dirty f's head on a tranny.

                          there are cheap dvd's on ebay that you can get to learn all the basics and some are quite good actually. Just check out what topics they address. Don't get the simple effects ones, but rather something that will explain it all in the way a photoshop book would.

                            Great Examples guys, but i wanna learn just to use the layout of the software, like where do i go to change this setting, etc. I need the basics. I guess Photoshop for Dummies is my next book purchase.

                              I've been thinking of learning design and getting really good at using all of photoshops abilities in my spare time. 1, i'll save hundreds of dollars a month and make my new sites launch much faster, 2, if i get really good, I can just charge $200 for simple logos and make $10k a month making logos all day. + my sites that run themselves

                                Start with actually buying a copy of Adobe photoshop instead of using a cracked version. Yes it really does help.
