[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Lord Joseifius 2 I think thats the ONLY way to learn photoshop. I took a class for it and learned nothing, there was just too much information... Only by playing around with it will you be able to learn how to use it. Btw, I failed that class, but by using it at least 2 hours a week for that 11 week class, I was able to gain a complete understanding and feel for all of the basic tools. Now I use it daily, and even bought a freakin $200 wacom tablet. Also, for max/maya users, the cs4 photoshop has a new gismo which allows you to bring a 3d frame into a layer, and paint over it!! How freakin cool is that?![/quote] I would kill for a tablet. But I don't think my piece-of-poo computer could even handle one. :P That CS4 feature sound uber-cool. I don't know if I'd have any use for it... but I guess it's like owning a 500hp supercar: you'll never use all 500 horses, but it's nice knowing it's there. And it makes for fun bragging material. ;)
