If you got time this shouldn't be to hard to tackle but it might keep u up at night tryin to tackle
the basic commands especialy if you haven't messed with photoshop before. goodluck
If you're new to photoshop and just beginning, i would suggest a version 7 (yes, and i really mean
it; if you want to draw or even photo-manip, it's good; it's best if you want to draw with it) If
you want a newer version though, i would go with the CS2, and not even CS3, much less the CS4. NO.
Starting with the CS3 and onwards there are to many oprions and filters, editing tools and so on.It
seems to run slow to if your pc isn't one of the best.
If you want to digitally paint, draw
or whatever, the tool menu wasn't edited to much. I know there are some more features in the
crop-select-wand-lasoo tools, but the brushes are the same, ans the don't have more options. The
smudge tool, unfortunatelly, is the same too. And if you want that really nice painting efect that
corel painter with its add more water tool (from the watercolour menu) gives, you won't get it from
photoshop.
If you want to import other formats TO photoshop,no, you can't . Photoshop thinks
he's the big cheese arround here and won't recognize other formats. On the other hand, you CAN open
photoshop formats with programs like painter or SAI.
