I agree...I\'ve been working with it for about 10 years now (since version 3) and even though all the tips and tutorials help it\'s trial and error that will help you learn the most. I can remember staying up all night just messing around with images and stuff and before I knew it it was dawn.
If I can give one more piece of advice, BEWARE of filters!!! Yes, they are fun and once you see all the different ones it will be hard to resist using them all the time. But if you really want to get good at Photoshop (to the point where it\'s professional looking) you really choose your use of filters wisely and know that a little goes a long way. That will set you apart from all the others that just take an image and apply some filter to it.
Hope that helps!
