Getting started with Photoshop
If you ever wanted to learn how to make web graphics, read on.
I’d advise using Adobe Photoshop CS2, which you can download free for 30 days, so get your trial now.
After you have the Photoshop software downloaded, installed and running, you may feel overwhelmed by all it’s features, I know I was. That’s why I had a hard time letting go of Jasc Paint Shop Pro for so long.
To ease the learning curve, it’s best to do some beginner tutorials, this will help you to familiarize yourself with the program’s interface and basic features.
We have plenty of basic tutorials for you to try out at Retro Tutorials - Photoshop Tutorials. It’s best to go through the tutorials at least once, if you get stuck, just return to Retro Tutorials and try another tutorial, you can also just come back to this post and let me know where you’re stuck…. hey I still get stuck sometimes myself, so don’t feel bad. I can’t even teach myself Flash… I have a much better chance with my PHP dreams. 
When you’re feeling courageous, hop on over to the Web Graphics category and give the “Advanced Orb” tutorial a whirl, orb’s are always great fun to create and play around with…did I just say “great fun”… I think I did. 
If you do make an orb, please share it here, especially if you put your own spin on it, that’s always fun…I may even make some of my own and share them.
