New and no idea what I am doing

[Ric]

Hello,
I am new to this forum although not new to forums in general. I have no idea whatsoever how to use PhotoShop CS2. I was given CS2 by a friend and would love to learn how to use it. Nearing retirement I will have time to enjoy what can be done with the program. I have the program loaded. Any suggestions on where to start would be appreciated. Thank you for having here

Try to practice with "layers" first. thats pretty crucial. you should have a help guide built into the program to help you.

Finding inspiration, or a muse, was the key to my learning. Along with many sleepless nights that led to the ultimate demise of my relationship with my 'er gone fiance. I thank Adobe daily.
