I took a course in it. Look into a local College class.
But even in taking that, you need to play around with it a lot to learn it.
Also, subscribe to get the Adobe Mag. There is a lot of info in it.
It takes technique. Photoshop is like a mechanics tool box. Every tool has a different use, yet just because you know what the tool is for doesn't mean you know the best way to use it. It takes practice, and lots of it.
Photoshop can do anything. So much so, that pictures don't hold their value as evidence so much in the courts.
You also have to have a love of it, and using it.

I have found books on Photoshop to be of little help, most are too big confusing. Save your money.
Taking a JC class is great and then just practice, practice, practice... Spending one afternoon with someone who knows what they are doing can do wonders too.

Photoshop classroom in a book. It is worth the $50.00
Then just spend ALOT of time practicing.
Also, GOOGLE for Photoshop Tutorials on the net and just try them. See if you get what they show you.
I know a little about Photoshop, I guess.

I've started using Adobe's PhotoShop. It's kinda like the TV show Jeopardy, makes you feel pretty stupid until you figure it out. :D
I figure the best way is to buy a book and play with it until you get the hang of it. Good luck. If you learn any tricks, feel free to post them.
