Well I want to create websites so anyone know a good PhotoShop tutorial? I have never used it in my life I have got a book on html, .html and css and learnt that I now have a book on dreamweaver and learning that but am looking for online tutorials for PhotoShop and if possible that includes web design too. Thankies

Got it really 'cheap'

Mhmmk. I'm going out for a bit, but I'll look for some nice ones when I get back. Is there anything in particular you're looking for in terms of learning? Or general photoshop use?

If you don't mind me asking, you said you're learning web design, is that what you plan on using PS for?

Gotcha

To be honest, the best way to teach yourself is to dissect templates that you find for free online
That's what I've done, and I still use templates for ideas on new layouts and whatnot.

Also, developing in Wordpress is a great selling point. It is easy, versatile, and has tons of plugins that normally would take a very long time to code oneself.

Yes web design if you can please I have had a search but nothing that good that I can find

i tihnk that learning photoshop is a really gradual and long process, i doubt you'd be able to make anything really presentable until you've used it for at least two months or so.
if you got PScs5 for cheap, you should try getting dreamweaver. i remember ~buying~ it a while ago and it was pretty user-friendly (in that adobe way) and it's pretty difficult to code by hand .o.

but a really good way of learning skills IMO is just following general tutorials, google is wonderful i've been using PS for three years yet and i still haven't used half the options and doohickeys, so just remember that photoshop is a powerful tool, but only a few specific items will ever be essential

Yeah I got dream weaver too but don't you need photoshop for the graphics and dreamweaver to put it all together? I'm looking for just the basics for now for CS5 and well just a little pointer to get me started
