There's a pretty good learning curve, yes, but you have a head start. You can adapt a lot of what you know from PSP to Pshop. I also think the book Real World Photoshop is a very good resource, but it's just my favorite. I still have my Real World Photoshop book from like, version 3. There's bound to be a new edition of it, or somethingt similar. Lots of good books out there for Pshop. I tend to like RW because it focuses on the most common things you'll be doing in Pshop as far as working in the real world. The tutorials and help files that come with Pshop are quite good as well. And there are literally millions of sites on the net that freely teach how to do various things, give tips and tricks and tutorials. So the learning curve isn't that bad, really. And if you're in a work situation, Pshop really is the standard professional program.

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.
