"Photoshopping" is a dime a dozen, and I think most digital artists know it like old hat, like the back of their hand. I couldn't imagine anyone NOT. Hell, I'd imagine 95% of advertising, magazine photos, etc are doctored in some fashion. So making money from it? You'd probably have to be DAMNED good. As to learning Photoshop better, practice practice. Books can help, as can classes. A local digital darkroom around here, for instance, has classes in Photoshop. Sometimes a structured environment can really help push you further than self-teaching. That being said, some good results can be had from trial and error, and just mucking about. Once you make a mistake, or make something ugly, maybe you'll remember it and know to do it later to good use. And for printing... When doing artwork, its always good to start at 200 or 300%, and shrink later. If you start at 100%, well.... its just not good. You start at a larger size, when you shrink it down your effects may become less noticeable, and thus look better overall. So, you start with as large a pic as possible. Have your camera or whatnot take the max size image, and work with that. Shrink as necessary. When ready to print, you can try homokaasu.org/rasterbator/ or blockposters.com/
