Hello. I'd love to learn how to use photoshop to a decent degree. I've watched youtube videos, but can't find any actual lessons or whatnot. Anyone know of a guide or tutorial or something of that nature that explains it fairly well? it can cost or be free. Thanks a lot.
 
Just type in google:

adobe photoshop tutorials for beginners


You will get a lot of tutorials on how to start and get to know it.
 
There's not too much to learn about photoshop. Just a few basic tools and such. The rest of it is just practice and creativity. There plenty of photoshop tutorials out there to do many cool affects, just google!

+1. I learned it by doing cool tricks from google. Everything else is the same. You just have to practice so you can get used to it.

Haha. I tried to word it so many ways. But this way got me what I needed. I don't want some magical 'make me an expert' guide or anything just something that explains what each tool does and what its good for. I hate having to run to google everytime I don't know which one to use.

Reading what a tool does and using it is a different thing I find. If you get some tutorials for how to do specific things that others have, you will learn what tool does what as you go along.

If you want to know what does what, then read the documentation, which you can get here:

What I want is both. To read what the tool does, how to use it, and when to use it. I appreciate the tutorials. Before I dive into those though, I actually found on adobe.com beginner tutorials on various little things. I've learned a lot already, including all those hot keys that make life easier.
 
With photoshop, it all depends on what kind of art you're into. Vexel art is a type of art drawn in Photoshop, but it is completely different than to let's say, edit photos and such.

My advice if you don't know what a tool does and don't fancy reading paragraphs of tutorial about it is to simply try using it and see for yourself what it does. If you don't like you can always undo.

I have also same opinion, the rest depends on your creativity and practice.
