Any tips you can give for a beginner on Photoshop?

I used to have Paint Shop Pro, but recently got the trial version of Photoshop. Can anybody give me links or tips on what to do with it? Thanks.Any tips you can give for a beginner on Photoshop?
Which photoshop do you have? photoshop elements 5? It is great and easy to learn. My advice is to study the Organizer page carefully and learn to keep your pics organized - will save you much grief later. it is a wonderful and important feature. You may contact me via messenger if you care to. retouching and enhancing will come to you in ';edit'; -Any tips you can give for a beginner on Photoshop?
Have a look at www.worth1000.com





They run daily photoshop competitions for free and. they have hundreds of gallerys showing what you can achieve and more importantly lots of tutorials explaining how they acheived the effects.





The is also a forum where you can ask for advice.





Have fun
There are a lot of things you can do with Photoshop. The main thing i think most people use photoshop for is editing more than creating so that might be a good place to start. I suggest getting familiar with the tools first before really getting into it.
Do a google search for photoshop tutorials, there are loads of free ones out there that will take you through the basics.





Photoshop is a very advanced tool, and there is so much you can do with it you will be amazed.





Good luck
Make a target for a project like publishing your pictures online.


This gives you a reason for playing around with graphic programs.


You'll really get moving this way.
Lynda.com do the most wonderful PS training videos. There is a monthly charge but as they cover nearly every available graphics package, it represents really good value for money. There are other training packages but they demand either a much higher subscription rate or the purchase of a CD. The first videos are free so why don't you give them a try.


Good luck. I'm so envious...it looks a really marvellous program and there a so many wonderful websites with tremendous ideas for its users.
