I'm kidding, but I'm sure you could find all kinds of great resources.

I've been using Photoshop since version 5, and with no training or anything, I think the best way to learn it is just to use it. Open up some photos or pictures you find online, and try all the different tools to see what they do. Hold down Shift, Alt, and Ctrl while using the tools to see how they change their function. Try out different plugins and play with their settings.

Tutorials can be helpful to learn new techniques and effects as well.. and maybe some other people will be more helpful than I can with specific sites for those.

Before I read this book:


After I read it:

couln't have said it better myself, i've taken two courses where we learn this program in high school but just messing around with it on your own helps more than teachers can.

Using it is the biggest anf best way to learn. Know that adjustment layers are your friend and the majority of the filters should be used as sparingly as calling the ex up. (Ok, that's a bit extreme, but newbies tend to go crazy with filters.)

http://www.pjhstudios.com/cte/tutorial.htm (i think the files are in .doc format) is a rough training tutorial I put together on it. Basically, 1) know the interface and the different parts of it 2) understand how to use each tool and what it's end effect is 3) Knowing a thing about color helps.

I have to say, the Photoshop help files have come a long, long way and are actually useful. Try those first to get the hang of the tools and some basic tricks.

by just understanding layers and the clone stamp, you can create classic gems, like these
