There is always the on line tutorial you can find on the Adobe website.

There are classes in Photoshop you can find at some local community colleges.

Yahoo Groups has local groups that can help you learn all about Photoshop, Elements or CS4.

Just like photography, Photoshop is a process that takes time, formal education and experience. Most of us spend a few years learning the parts of Photoshop we need, certainly we can never learn it all.

You can find tutorials online and take classes but I’m going to be very honest, that they are extremely boring and usually move fast which makes it hard if you are unfamiliar with the program. The best way to learn it is to just look through your tool bars to see what options are there, and have friends help you when there is something specific you want to do. The books about the adobe software are also a good resource.
