Very Newbie!

Hey everyone! As you can tell, I am new to this site and I am new to Photoshop. This is my first picture (following a tutorial and changing it a little)

The problem is, I don't know where to start really. I am very good with computers and webdesign, but graphics? Nope I can follow Photoshop Tutorials perfectly, and do very basic things on my own. Where should I start? How did some of the more advanced people here start?

Thanks for the tips in advance!

(BTW, I am getting good with Fireworks 4, if this gives anyone an understanding of where my knowledge is at)

Really all you have to do is read...

Start with the help files/manual/tutorials

Then hit the book store

There are SOOOO many books out there on Photoshop just go to the local book store and take your pick.

My suggestion: something by Deke McClelland his books are easy to read and understand. If you see the "peachpit press" sig on the book then its gonna be good. In my opinion.

*at work on memorial day and upset about it* :rolleyes:
