This may have been answered and if so I'm sorry. But I can't get photoshop and don't have time to read books being im in college and working full time. Are there any online courses that show you step by step and then you submit and CC? Thanks! Also, anyone in Louisiana want to train me?
You could just dive-into it. That's what I did and it's gotten me as far as I've needed. I went to http://www.good-tutorials.com/ almost everyday. Once there, I picked the tutorials that interested me for the day and followed them a few times. Soon enough, I began to feel really comfortable in Photoshop. I'd try that before anything. Also, does your school have a class? That might be a good route.
i would love to just dive into it! but unfortunately I work 40 hrs a week and go to school full time! they only offer 1 or 2 digital courses...it sucks! i'm trying to learn as best as i can, but its easier when someone can say do this step by step and turn it in and this is what you did wrong!
