How did you learn photoshop?

great tutorial sites. I just played around and looked at videos on internet

 

I start it from online tutorial. Find a good site and do it step-by-step. I'm not photoshop master but at least i know what i can do with it.

 

trial and error and google
its my 3 brain (google that is)
1 brain is on my head 2nd brain has a head 3 brain is head of the web!

 

I was actually inspired from a friend of mine way back when Photoshop was at version 5, then I practiced everyday learning every tool, then I wanted to get better to impress some chicks I knew and make graphics for them.

9 years later I now make my whole living based off of Photoshop, if it wasn't for Photoshop I wouldn't have a career =)

 

Trial and error mostly.. I'm still really bad at it

 

Allllllll on my own.

Haha, yes it took a long time but I'm a fairly quick learner.

I love using it to create websites, ebook covers and presentations.
I don't really have any other need for it, but I do really love it.

 

me i started with coler ... then involve to adobe and just new wat to do and was stun
when i notice adobe can do things i did the hard way in corel .. but no tuts or books
i just lern my self ..

 

I start from ebook and specially online training there are several web for great tutorial.

 

I messed around with it and learned from that.

 

searched "photoshop tutorials" in google and went from there. A good site that I use it tutorialised. They're really good.

 

there are a ton of photoshop free tutorials online.

 

I will look into these sites for learning

 

"self taught.... thanks DAD!" <-- movie quote!

 

I just started playing with it one day, and went through online tutorials and asked questions on forums.

 

I started working in advertising 12 years ago and part of that was using photoshop. So I used to work till really late every night and just play, play, play till I got some results.

I never read any books or watched a tutorial. But we never had tinternet back then ...

 

How long does it take to learn photoshop to do basic work?

 

I'm still no good

 

just messed around with it for a while. then learnt alot from doing a university course. being taught the basics in a course or something is the best way to start out. then you can just look up tutorials on the net to learn specific techniques

 

First, I learned by reading books.
Then, online tutorials.
Now, I teach myself.

 

learned a little from my friend who was going to school for it then learned from tutorials and playing with it.
