Fastest way to learn Photoshop?
It seems everyone knows how to use PS except me. I know there are many ways to learn it (classroom, video, online), but is there a particular program/website/author that gets you a working knowledge of it pretty quickly?

kuchit is right: play with it as much as possible.
The first thing to get your head around is the use of layers: once you get used to them you will have reached an important step. Try downloading this book: *********************/file/6pd5tss0/Phos.rar

And you have to keep using it or you will forget how to do basic things.
I keep notes

Selection tools and Toolbox are a key to success.You can make many shapes with selection tools lasso,rectangle,....(dont forget alt/shift keys) and starting to learn photoshop and in the second process try to work with colors and if you like to use of photoshop to draw natural images try Bob Ross videos.he was a really good painter peace upon to him.

Start small and work your way up to the more intense. Baby steps...
Try to play with it everyday so that it stays fresh in your mind because sometimes its the little things we forget and then frustrate us for days. |

I'm completely self-taught and started using it about 12 years ago, and really, my style reflects that period being that I prefer the dirty-ass unkempt look with my stuff which was popular at that time.
The fastest way to learn would probably be to take a class. I know some guys that started using it just a year ago and their work is top-notch. |

I started 7 years ago and Graphical Design is also my profession too. Right now I finished my term at a Finnish advertisement agency, I might return to them, when I graduate.
From my experience, it takes time and lots of practice, but when you get the core basics down it's easy. Also learn to use a simple method - Left hand for keyboard (memorize quick keys) and right hand for mouse or tablet. Trust me, it works and simplifies your workflow even more. I started in a class, but it won't help you 100 % , you need to put your free time into it too. And interest into the subject also helps, if you do this to be cool, just stay away, that's what my experience tells me. If you want some help and tips: Google can help ya, also, members here on Planet are helpful too. You can ask Saint or me questions about it, if you like to. I would reply as fast as I can. |
