I'm right there with you!! I have been using DIP Suite too, and am now making the jump to PSCS. I got the program originally because I was going to take a college graphics class. I didn't end up taking the class (kiddos and all) but kept the program and the required book, which is called Adobe Photoshop CS2 Classroom in a Book. I just started going through the lessons in it yesterday. I think once we get past that 'gotta have the familiar--Microsoft feel' thing, we'll adjust to CS just fine!
I have been totally overwhelmed by it too, and up until today, every time I opened the program I'd just hunt around for a minute and then close it, mystified. Make sure ya post what you're learning! I've been doing lessons on using the UNDO and History functions (you can only UNDO ONCE!) History is another undo function, with a limit of 20 times. >;[ If you get this book I bet you'll whiz right through. Look on Amazon. That's where I got it.
