So I finally lost my copy of my trusty and easy to use Microsoft Image Composer 1.5. It was like 8 years old, but worked great and did what I wanted it to do. So now I am forced to use the all mighty Photoshop. I got a copy of 9.0 CS2 and I have no clue how to use it. I mean I can do basic stuff, but what is the best, fastest and easiest way to learn this awesome but complicated peice of software.

 

www.spoono.com
www.good-tutorials.com

both have great tutorials on them

the tutorials show you how to do a specific thing...but the steps and the outcome from each step is what you wanna study.

After that's been established.

As with anything, it's all trial and error.

that might help, they've actually redesigned that website lately, it used to just be a huge cluster **** of tutorials, now they are semi categorized...

 

Classroom in a book that Adobe sells is probably your best bet, Alex.

haha, sorry alex, had to...even has rainbox letters for you (=

 

truly the best place i have found over the last 7 years of using it, is www.pslover.com such a huge data base of tutorials that eventually will stick on you as far as what does what.
