* Another unusual way I got to know Photoshop when I first downloaded it was by watching speed covers on youtube! Not only did it allow you to experience making a graphic secondhand, but showed you watch each tool did as its being used. (I also recommend changing the playback speed to .75 to slow it down just in case you get confused.)
