Newbie with Photoshop and total enthusiasm

Simple answer: NO

Photoshop required (like any other graphics program) a learning phase. By basics partially be very well supplied in video tutorials (there is indeed diverse providers like YouTube) are learned relatively quickly dealing.
If you imitate these sequences, one learns to handle and begins the scope of the program slow to guess.

I worked a lot with GIMP and have to say as a great conclusion: Photoshop fascinated that it settled with two or three steps, work in "seconds" what I needed in GIMP hours.

I would recommend this program everyone, who is not afraid to learn new things and not give up after the first try. Who wants to have the image editing program, which must buy Photoshop.

The more I am breaking in to the program, the more increases my enthusiasm.
