    I Definitely need some photoshop skills in my work, and i have watch the videos for a basic understanding of photoshop. I know the tools, but it is very hard to use them very flexiblely. What practice should i have to improve my photoshop skills or stimulate my interest in it ?

    I learned alot from online tutorials, when you follow these you will learn the basics quite fast! I have to say i'm still no pro in photoshop but by following these tutorials I sure know the basics.
    You just have to spend a lot of time in photoshop to become a pro if you ask me. It's maybe also possible to search some information to take a course in Photoshop.
    To say this short: you will only get there by practising! xD

    i know that practice makes perfect, thus i need a lot of practise. But the problem is that photoshop is more like a working tool to me, i don't have much interest in it, thus it always make me asleep when watch the videos.

    Well firstly, you will need practice. Just use Photoshop and be creative. Watch tutorials etc... It's important to use also the things you find dificult, such as Masks and other stuff that is not used so many times.

    When you will know every detail, you need to swap Photoshop for real books.

    Go to library and study. If you don't know what .dpi means, you can't be professional. If you don't know what CMYK and RGB means, you can be professional. When you are done reading several 300+paged books, you must still question yourself if you know everything you must.

    Afterwards, learn InDesign, Illustrator and when you are done there, you have all the basic knowledge to be professional graphic designer.

    Cheers :)

    The more you practise, the more you will succeed.

    So just practise and learn more ;) You cannot become a professional over a night.

    Tutorials and books really help but the most important is to have the desire and the imagination and to experiment, not only to copy others work.
