Hola Rossy,

La verdad hoy en dia hay muchos sitios de internet que te pueden ayudar a aprender Photoshop, dependiendo en la version que tengas habra "tutorials" y ejemplos. Such, good learning site is http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/bllps5out.htm it gives you a basic training in learning photoshop for FREE and its quite understandable and great explanation for a begginer. I have read the whole article and really recomend it. Another helping aid may be videos, as you can "see what to do" and "how to do it," I am really hopefull that the website: http://www.watchandlearnphotoshop.com/index.php will show you how to do certain projects in photoshop and will explain the basics. As I mentioned before there are many websites that claim they teach photoshop, indeed photoshop is not a hard program to learn nor hard to teach, there are many resources in photoshop and great things can be accomplished. Ofcourse those are the FREE online strategies, also you can learn with a more detailed outline of photoshop by applying to Adobe.

If you go to: http://www.adobe.com/training/?ogn=EN_US-gntray_supp_train_home you may find alot of resource from the creators of photoshop such as online training, global training (which maybe available in your area), books, certifications, DVD and CD Roms, Events and seminars and courses. The book most experts would recomend is The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers by Martin Evening, has a price of approx. $32.00 at adobepress.com You can find a description of the book here: http://www.adobepress.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0321385438&?aid=43bdbc65-54...

I think you will do good if you read on these articles and can find local aid from the tips I have provided to you, or if you have further questions you can always come here and ask for more help. Am glad to help!

Espero que tengas un BUEN dia Rossy,
