    just type "photoshop tutorials" in google, but your best bet is getting a good book and learning what each function does, cause a tutorial will teach you how to do that particular graphic and not how the things work.

    The help files are a good resource as well. I personally just start pushing buttons until I get what I want.

    In my opinion web tutorials may teach you how to do certain effects but for a thorough understanding its better to go from a book. I'm not sure how your local library is but mines filled tech-related books :)

    If you want some "high quality" tutorials that keep even ADHD children occupied.
    Lynda.com you can subscribe to and get.....a tutorial for everything.
    Literally...
    You can teach yourself everything except object orientated programming I think.

    just remember, photoshop CS2 is a fully professional program, just do the basic tutorials, you don't really need to worry about the advanced ones,
