    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 =)

    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.

    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 ... ;)

    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.
