How long have you known Photoshop? and how do you learn to use Photoshop?

I started using PS in 2005..it was an old version and I don't remember what was.. I began to edit pictures just for fun and then i keep on "learnin" how to use it reading tutorials on the web. Now I,m testing the PS CS3 and I really love it.. If you have a good knowledge of the basic functions you can create something beautiful!

i learned to use photoshop through the internet, i usually search on youtube for some tutorials on it,,, ^^ the first time i used it, the only know of the cutting tools, but as time passed by, i learned layering,,, but until now, i don't know how to surgery faces with photoshop, so i use another program for it,,, ^^

I start to use photoshop a few years ago, I remember my brother bought a computer that includes a version of Photohop elements, then I start to use it for adjust brightness, colors and other minor things to my pictures, this way I start to learn the basic tools and functions. Later I got a full version of photoshop CS and start to learn more and more, reading articles, tutorials, books... until I knew so well the software. Today I still learn, photoshop has a lot of functions, and now I'm doing some works related to picture edition, retouch and a little design in photoshop to make some extra money, currently I use Photoshop CS4. Regards.

I've just learned how to use Photoshop last year. We have a brochure project at school and none of my groupmates know how to use photoshop. I volunteered to study a little about using it coupled with my techy friend's lectures. I successfully created a brochure and we got an A for it. Even if it's a little complicated to learn how to maximize the potential of Photoshop, it's still the best!

i started using Photoshop 4 years ago, the version, i think was Photoshop CS2. tried it because like you, editing or manipulating photos was my hobby. now i still use the CS3 to design layouts or make whatever is needed in our business, tarpaulin layouts, IDs, business cards, etc. etc. but for editing photos, i use Photoshop Elements, Lightroom and Picasa. uhm... am i allowed to put these softwares here? anyway... it's there.
