I learned Photoshop by clicking the icons that looked like what i wanted to do and then clicking the image to see what happened. I'd never seen anyone else use it and i didn't have Internet access. Did someone teach you MSPaint? Or notepad? Or did the discoverability of visible controls guide you to how to use them?
