Best way to learn in my opinion is by practicing a lot and trying new things. First things first I'd suggest getting to understand all of the tools within photoshop as well as their uses. By this I also am including things such as filters, the way layers work and so on. One thing I've been taught is to not let the specific thoughts of tool purposes restrict you. All tools are flexible and have many, many uses just use them ways you find helpful. ~Learned that from Bubbleboy
