I am BRAND NEW at photoshop... its clearly not a "user friendly" program LOL - not something you can dive into and figure out on your own
Do you have any advice on tutorials and books that I can get to make it an easier learning experience?
I have Photoshop CS4 on a mac

One quick question.... I just got this program and I have gone on youtube and have completed some tutorials... etc - It seems that some of my tools arent working... Do I have to "setup" my tools before using them?
Example: it wouldnt let me "feather" the edges of a pic or use the brush on a tutorial.... Im sure its a rookie issue and I just havent turned something "on" etc....

Any help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated

Thanks in advance
Lana
