The Visual Quickstart books are usually the best for learning all of the Adobe software. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/032121353X/sr=8-2/qid=1151984795/ref=sr_1_2/002-4689218-1663257?ie=UTF8\n\nAlso, check out Russell Brown's website. http://www.russellbrown.com/  He is a senior creative director at Adobe Systems and has been a key contributor in the development of Photoshop since version 1.  His website includes video tutorials (you can also find some of them as video podcasts on iTunes)

You can find Lot of sites with free tutorials, they are free and very usefully.

Most colleges have degree programs for graphic designers. However, all you really need is a sense of color, shape and layout. A degree from a good school will get you in the door but talent will be rewarded regardless of education level. One thing everyone starting out in graphic design should learn is Adobe Photoshop. It is the universal tool for professional graphics.\n\nI have several versions of Photoshop and all are similar enough that learning one will carry over nicely to the others. Even a cheap version, such as Photoshop Elements, is similar enough to the full version of Photoshop to be a great learning tool. I recommend getting Photoshop Elements and taking books out of the library to learn it. If you learn Photoshop well, you will always be employed in the graphic design field.

Go to adobe.com. Put your pointer over the "Products" button, go down and click on "Photoshop". In the "Next Steps" box in the upper right, click the "Try Now" with your OS. Next, sign in or registe, and download the program. ( This is a 30-day trial version[is normally costs $600]) The download size is just over 600 MB.

You can always check with local photographers or designers. The AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) is also a good reference tool, along with NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals). They both require memberships for most information but you still might be able to find a contact number to ask questions about the classes you are looking for. Being in NYC will help considerably, seeing as it is a central hub for art and design.

Hi, I'm director of arts and media for an NGO.  The best site I've found is called good tutorials, occasionally you can find good stuff on deviant art.  Good tutorials will link you to all kinds of photoshop tutorials that are generally really well written and helpful.

Photoshop is a very robust program with many intricacies. However, you're not alone. There are a lot of free resources that will help get you on your way in learning Photoshop. I recommend the following:\n\nDave Cross's Blog - http://davecross.blogspot.com\nScott Kelby's Blog - http://scottkelby.blogspot.com\nThe Creative Guy - http://www.jdempsey.com/\nBiorust's Tutorials - http://www.biorust.com/index.php?page=tutorial\nPlanet Photoshop - http://www.planetphotoshop.com/\nLayers Magazine Tutorials - http://www.layersmagazine.com/design/ps-index.php\n\nThose are some of my favorites. They're linked below. Good luck!

photoshop elements is easier to learn and cheaper, and should do most anything you want it it for.  It's about $75 US.  You can get a free trial here:  \nhttp://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/tryout.html\n\nPaintshop Pro is also excellent, more capabilities than the above, if you want to learn to do a lot of cool things. It's $99 US.  I prefer version 8, but you can get a free trial of version 10 here:\nhttp://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3/Trials/DownloadContainer\n\nYou can get Gimp free, and there are lots of free tutorials available for it, get it here:\nhttp://www.gimp.org/windows/\n\nHope this helps.
