get lots of energy drinks, good head shots of girls you like and a nice collection of nudes and keep trying to copy their heads across. you know its done right when it looks like you could blackmail them with it.

otherwise youtube.

much easier if you at least gave us an idea of what you want to do...

as you have probably found out, there is so much you can do wtih it.
we can point out tools and techniques but in the end it all comes down to playing around and working it out for urself

do you want to add bodykits onto cars?

do you want to create signage?

do you want to blackmail ex girlfriends?

create bad photoshops of OA members?

create HDR images?

i cheat when lowering a car. i duplicate the layer. hide original, delete everything from duplicate layer except car body, unhide original, press the down arrow on duplicate then fix up the back ground.

Asking for hints on Photoshop is like asking how long a piece of string is...
