Photoshop was probably the first software I really enjoyed using while working as a student. Most of what I know about Photoshop came from trying out different things and mixing materials together and hoping to get a interesting result. The first pieces of art I made using Photoshop were these little signature banners you put at the end of your posts on forums. Through these banners I developed a habit of using brushes and filters to create these interesting pieces of art. I still don't consider myself to be a pro at Photoshop because I never creating something amazing like concept art. I kinda got stuck sticking with mixing existing images together into one big picture while using a lot brushes.
Overall I did learn a lot from Photoshop even though what I learned wasn't from a book or tutorials. But I understand now, that most of the stuff you learn in school really isn't just from what the teacher teaches you. It's the experience of you learning about the subject yourself. Taking the time to look into how something works or how it acts a certain way. It seems to be the only way you'll remember it.
