Cant workout how to use photoshop got the CS4 on my computer and still no further forward with it and even bought a book to use wiith it. wouldnt even know where to start let alone re-sizing to put a image on mugs etc. lol. Wish there was a easy way to learn to use it as everyone says it is good. Is corel draw any easier to use.

Basically word is a typerwriter - you need to be printing from a design program such as coreldraw, photoshop etc. Print from a design program, write letters from a typerwriter.

Hi Karen,

The best & easiest way of learning & how to use Photoshop I have found is by buying Digital Photo magazine. They usually have a free DVD showing you step by step how to do things. They also sell the whole series of DVD's too at quite a cheap price. I'm one of those who picks things up a lot easier by watching a tutorial & then having a go myself.

Yaks a look on websites like [url="http://www.Lynda.com]www.Lynda.com[/url], inexpensive and professional online tutorials.

Personally I prefer coreldraw as I find this much easier to work with but Photoshop certainly has it'd uses, my advice I'd to learn both. You only need a relatively basic knowledge to get you going.

In my opinion coreldraw is easier to use - anything that fits on the A4/A3 page prints when you hit the print button. Simples :D

ok sounds good, there is some older versions of coreldraw on ebay will they be ok on xp. Would love to learn the basics on both then it will help me loads. All i have learnt has been self taught. sublimation and vinyl printing. So any help would be gratefully received. :)x
