Well, depends what you want to do really.

The large variety tools are on the left, the windows on the right are navigation (preview of your work), history (list of actions you can undo/redo) and layers.

The best way is probably look up tutorials on youtube or any other video streaming sites.

I use Photoshop CS2, works well, you can just obtain a cd key or a crack to continue using you're expired version

CS rocks my socks

i always use the latest version, so now it's CS4, but really, just a little change overtime.

Download the trial from Adobe, or was that the one that's expired? then you just need the key, go to youtube & search for adobe cs4 key, there're tons of videos up there that help you crack the program & give you the key.

& yeah, depends on what you wanna do. I usually photoshop wacky stuff.....& enhance my photos..........you just have to play around with it, i have no idea when i first started w/ CS2.

I'd suggest CS2 mainly because it has everything you need. As well, considering how you're asking about PS I'd assume you have very little experience with it and CS2 should be more then adequate in meeting your needs. Anything above CS2 is filled with bloatware in a sense that most people do not fully utilize the extra functions.

I think you'll be better off starting a new thread if you have any question, that way more people can help if they have knowledge in a specific PS problem/field

I had CS4 and I try to repair old pics but can't. I used patch and healing tool but didn't work. Could anyone please help me. Thanks

You can try this method:

Photos usually get damaged through the times. The pictures may get blurred, the colour fades and the picture might acquire marks and scratches. Thank the technology of today. People can now save and restore their old photos with the help of Photoshop.

Here are some steps to follow in restoring old pictures using the Photoshop.

1. The person may use the Elements in Photoshop, which are Dust and Scratch Filter to remove the marks, scratches and blots in the photo. The Dust and Scratches Filter is located on the Menu Bar and click on the Filter Tab. A drop down will list elements and then he can choose the Noise tab and select on the Dust and Scratches.

2. After clicking on the Dust and Scratches menu, a window will pop up with two control sliders. The first slider is for the Radius and the other one is for the Threshold. There will also be another window if the preview box will be checked. These are the main options that will be used in treating the picture.

3. Adjusting the Radius slider may remove the scratches. However, there is a tendency that overdoing it may make the edges blurred too. If that happens, the option is to adjust the Threshold slider and this will allow the details to go back and make the picture clearer with the scratches disappearing. The person should be careful not to set them too far or it will only create blotches on the picture.

4. In removing the marks, selecting the whole photo will not diffuse these marks. The option is to select only the part where the scratches are located. He may use the Lasso to do this.

5. He can then feather the edges of the selected area so that the selected area will not be obvious on the picture. He can do this by clicking the Feather option and click the Scratch and Dust Filter again. He can do the process again of adjusting the Radius and Threshold sliders to get the texture needed and remove the scratches.

6. It there are still visible marks on the other parts of the picture, he can do the technique again by selecting the areas he would like to adjust. To finish the process and make the picture presentable, he can crop the image enough to remove the cracks and torn edges of the picture. The canvas may be use to equally crop the image.

7. A person may add drama on the picture by adding a drop shadow on it. This will make the picture appear as if it has been lifted off the page. The colour may also be removed using the controls Shift+Ctrl+U. He can then add colour by putting a little amount of Sepia. He can do this with the Hue or Saturation tab. The contrast may be adjusted using the Levels option.

This is one easy way on how to remove the blotches and marks on an old picture. This is also a good way to make the picture look new but still appear classical. It will be a pleasant and easy way to display pictures kept on old albums and cabinets for a long time.

www.lynda.com is a very good place to learn. You do have to pay, but it's as good as taking a college level graphic design course in my opinion.

What kind of questions do you have about illustrator?
