Any Graphic Artists Out there?
Any of you use PhotoShop Software. I am trying to learn the limited version of PhotoShop by reading the manual and I am getting a big headace. Is photoshop suppose to be this hard. I can't get though one chapter of the manual without it refereing me to another chapter to learn something new. For example to learn to use the crop tool in chapter 7 it tells me to go to page 118 in another chapter to learn to use the selection tools. But in the Seletion tools chapter it talks about layers and I have not read about layers yet. Everything is interrelated and it's making this hard to learn.
Are there any good books out there that teach you how to do something useful in a Tutorial step by step fashion? Been at this for a week now an feel like I am not learning anything.
