    Could anyone tell me if this is worth while? http://www.groupon.ie/deals/dublin/iact/16378105

    I'm looking to get my bearings around photoshop? is a day to short to compress it all in? or would i be better off downloading a good set of training videos or spend the day at youtube? any pointers well appreciated

    its not worth 600euro...

    and not really worth 99euro...

    what they are offering is something honestly a friend half competent with PS could show you in half a day. Basically once you get the jist of the tools and basic processes eveything kinda comes naturally once you have a quick read of a guide so I wouldn't be too pushed on it... the cerification... I have never heard of. The Institute of photography might be a better option, bit more but gets glowing reviews from people on here

    try www.lynda.com - their video tutorials are brilliant and I learned way more from them than the 20 week night course I did

    just pick up a copy of photoshop elements , the latest one, and the scott kelby book to go with it. no rubbish, simple step by step explinations on how to do pretty much all standard tasks in photoshop.

    It does require the tiniest bit of familiarity with photoshop, but barely any. You will learn a lot more this way IMO, as you will be working on your own photos, not on a course with other peoples photos where its more difficult to see the reason why you are doing a particular type of processing.

    I got "photoshop CS5 for photographers" It covers everything from camera to raw to everything else you'd need to know about photoshop in relation to photo editing.

    One thing you need to know about photoshop is that you will probably never learn everything, learning photoshop is a never ending process.
