i've been watching videos regarding on photoshop but still it seems this app is very difficult for beginners who wants to know how to edit photos. are there any vids for us newbies on this field that is easy to learn/basics.thanks

I'm not sure if you are trying to design based on hand painting or computer generated design from stock images but Lifehacker has some terrific guides on http://lifehacker.com/5781134/digital-painting-101-the-complete-guide?tag=nightschool

Thanks for the post! Some of these tutorials could be really helpful, especially for those who are looking to learn a new software quickly. However, if you really want to learn how to use a specific program effectively, you may want to consider going back to school to do so. You will have to use the software to create your projects, forcing you to learn quickly. Also, anything related to computer science is a great field to go into right now. If you need help finding a place to take these graphic design classes, check out my website.

The tutorials will be of great help to newbies. I understand that at first, Photoshop seems to be a complicated app with a set of strange features. So what beginners really need is a simple yet comprehensive tutorial.
