im just wondering how most ppl learn how to use photoshop for the first time... do you take a class?...do you just try it out?...do you look for online tutorials??

I learned how to use it by opening up a blank file and messing around with the tools and brushes and such. I didn't use any tutorials to learn how to use it. At the time when I got my Photoshop Elements 5.0, I was trying to wean myself off openCanvas. Photoshop's a really great program to use once you figure it out. It took me several weeks to figure out everything before I could use it properly.

Basically, in other words, you just need to practice and figure out what does what in the program.

I actually prefer openCanvas over Photoshop. It was the first real art program I've ever used, and I want to buy it.

The only thing notable about the newest versions of OC is that you can save as a PSD. If you don't switch back and forth between PS and OC a lot, you might as well stay with the free version.

@breanne: No.

Try searching for "openCanvas" or "portalgraphics". See if that helps any.

Where did you get the trial version of Open Canvas? I have a boot legged copy of Photoshop 6 on my comp...but I don't have a fill tool and some other very important tools, so it's nearly impossible to work with.

Photoshop 6 most definitely had a fill tool. Look around.

Thanks for the link.

I have looked and looked and looked for that thing. Unless there is one of those short cut codes to access it, I can't find it! And I also don't have a burn tool.

You're welcome.

This may help, though my Photoshop is a different kind from yours.

But the problem is they don't exist in my program. Does anyone know how to do screencaps like that? Maybe I can show you.
