Knowledge exchange? - Photoshop needed

[AngelaAndAlbert]

Hi guys! Newbie here! I am a freelance social media manager and working along all digital platforms I found myself with some difficulties with Photoshop and I love that programme but I don't have knowledge enough. I would like to know different alternatives I can start with. I checked some courses as for example one of them is (£180 - 11 weeks - 2 hours every week) . Not sure if it's going to be good. I think I prefer to do self-learning or knowledge exchange with someone interested in promoting themselves through social media as I know quite a lot about it or someone who wants to learn Spanish as I am from Madrid. Let me know please

Use Lynda.com. You have to buy a subscription, but the videos are incredibly useful and in depth.

I'd do a skill trade but I'm afraid my Ps skills aren't quite up to it.

As above really.
I used Lynda for a month ($25) to get me started in Illustrator and then Googled anything I needed to know as there's LOADS of tut's on the web.

If you do a search then I'm sure there will be plenty of free courses on YouTube for Photoshop.

I agree with the advice above but if you would prefer to work with someone 1 to 1, I would actually be interested in this, as I could do with the help of social media promotion and I wouldn't mind polishing up my extremely limited / poor Spanish, it is my favourite country after all. Plus, we are both based in London, so it wouldn't be a problem at all. I am by no means a Photoshop expert, but I'm happy to share the knowledge I have gained with my experience of using it for the past 15+ years.

I have just realised how old this thread is, so everything I have just said is probably irrelevant now... Doh!

Honestly I'd save the cash and just go to youtube and type in photoshop tutorials. There's even channels devoted to photoshop like https://www.youtube.com/user/NewWorldOps/featured.
