Hi, I'm new, totally. I have Photoshop 7, but no manual. I'd like to
know is there somewhere online that has step by step instruction for a
total novice ? I really want to learn this, but if have several other
time demands.
Thanks,
Daryl

Step 1: Go to www.adobe.com
Step 2: BUY a legitimate copy of Photoshop
Step 3: Read the manual you just paid for.

And after that, then go buy a book or two. There are literally hundreds
to choose from.

Take the box back to where you purchased it. There should be a manual
in the box.

Alternatively, hit F1.

You might check your local Library for Photoshop books.

I like this site for beginner tutorials:

Have a look at www,myjanee.com for some of the best Photoshop tutorials
around.

The manual, for those who have bothered to read it, is identical, word for
word, with the help files in the program itself. It is all but worthless as
a "tutorial" for newbies. The request was a legitimate one, I think.

Right, so share your explanation how he could have
a copy of the program without having the manual.

Do check out myjanee.com and search around for other web sits as well.
Adobe Classroom in a Book is a pretty good (basic, but kinda dry) book to
start with, Photoshop WOW is a bit better of a "read"

Now as far as if this person actually purchased PS7 i could give a rats
butt. Its a damn expensive, totally over priced (but great) program. If a
person is a newbie (as i was several years ago) the might not want to plunk
down all that money for something that they might not ever use, or use that
much. After all...there are quite a few cheaper options out there, albeit
minus the real power of PS. Down the road, perhaps this newbie will actualy
go out and buy a legit version that comes with all the free downloads and
updates etc.

Oh...and btw newbie....if/when you do buy a legit version of PS...throw the
damn MANUAL away. (however, you might find use for it as either a cat box
liner or you could perhaps shred it and use it as packaging material).

Why should I? I'm in no need of tutorials and if I were
I know where to find them.

I couldn't care less about what you could give a rats ass about.

Then they should try the trail version or seek a lower cost (read; Paint
Shop Pro) or free (read; The Gimp) instead of stealing.

Irrelevant, possible good intentions in the future are no excuse to
steal now.

Or read it, and learn enough not to ask stupid questions.
