Question:

If i wanted to know photoshop like the back of my hand which course would i take in college?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: your question reminds me of a joke i heard when i was visiting London's Albert Hall.
a young man carrying a violin case was asking the directions to Albert Hall (a place where great performances are held.. like Carnegie Hall in USA). he asked an old fella who looked like a composer or a famous conductor...
"excuse me sir, can you tell me how i can get to Albert Hall?
the old fella laughed , "practice, my son, practice,... lots , and lots of practice! ".

the same answer to your question.
i became quite good at photoshop with practice... lots and lots of practice.

i took my photographs and i played with every single feature in photoshop, until i got some fantastic results.
then i saved the feature settings i used, and made lots of notes of what i did so i can reproduce them again.
eventually, i come to know what to use as 2nd nature. but it took many many hours of just playing around with photoshop.

classes will not give you any more than what the teacher knows. and not all teachers know. as they say in music:
those who knows.. do, those who don't...teach or work as a critic :o)

most artists, musicians,etc... even the most knowledgeable computer geeks never really went to school to become that good. they did it all by themselves... practice, practice, practice.
