MAN. This is a tough beast to learn. I have been screwing around for awhile now with the trial version. I will never be able to learn it in 30 days! I figured out how to start with the right dimensions, but editing other pics, doing graphics... i am so screwed! Can I get some help or guidance on some of the basics! Atleast pointed in the direction of some kind of guide in making sigs or what not! Almost seems more complicated than AutoCad 2000i! so any help would be appreciated!

Ya, same here... I'm kinda getting the hang of the text effects and stuff, but images are still a blur to me

goto teamphotoshop.com and go thru the tutorials for a start.

you sound depressed :p just don't kill yourself :D ;)

I guess paint shop pro is easier for beginners

Photoshop Crash Course (http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/design/graphics/tutorials/tutorial1.html)

That site covers the basics, like cutting out images etc.

If you want to learn how to make cool effects then have a look in the resources thread, it has a lot of, erm... recources :$

Ayway, go though the lessons on that site, it hepled me a lot when I was learning :)
