Tell me, how do you ‘learn photoshop’ by making glossy buttons ?

Robert Bowen said:

@ Jacky. The same way you learn anything through application. By actually doing it. Some folks learn through auditory stimulation, some through visual, and some through practical application. The button process takes the user through some of the programs basic functions helping the newer users to some elements and operations they may be unfamiliar with.

Hope that answered your ‘question’.
