    Default Photoshop Help?

    Totally random, but hoping someone can help me!

    I've been talking about wanting to learn new software and programs, and so I received Photoshop as a Christmas gift (YAY).

    The software didn't come with any guide of guide or manual, so I'm feeling dazed and confused.

    Does anyone know a good online guide/basic how-to?

    Youtube has some great tutorials, but for much more advanced ideas than I'm ready for.

    Ugh, I've been using Photoshop since like '97... so it's sort of hard for me to recommend really basic stuff.

    Lynda.com has some really great learning tools that people are always talking about.

    If I were in your shoes though I'd probably pick up a book from the local bookstore that has a DVD/CD in the back. Look for something that says it's Adobe Official.

    If it's a genuine copy of 'Adobe Photoshop' - the manual should be on the software CD too...although there are numerous Websites offering CD or PDF copies of original Manuals and Tutorials from 'Photoshop' Version CS2 onwards.

    Just 'Google' 'Photoshop Tutorials'....and look for your Version (which I'm guessing is the lastest CS4).

    Google is your friend. Everything I learned about Photoshop was achieved through online tutorials both written and video and by now I can hold my own in CS4. I have some friends who are seriously amazing with the software and they only learned on the web as well since they grew up using pirated versions of the software without manuals.

    I highly HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend getting the Scott Kelby book for your version of photoshop. I use PS CS4 and Lightroom and its helped me immensly. Also..
