New User Create Company Brochure

Hi,
Ive never used photoshop or any other graphics program but am an architect and autocad user, wanting to create my own company's 2 page, 11 x 17 company brochure rather than go to a printer and get overcharged for something I can do.
How long will it take me to learn enough about Photoshop to do that?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much.

Help - Printing Vector Smart Objects In Photoshop - Prints Blurry

Hi Everyone. Im certainly not new to Photoshop. I have been using it since 1998 everyday. I am a graphic designer.
Think the reason I never come across this problem usually is because I make all my artwork for print in Indesign.
EG bring vectors in and images etc.
This particular project I have loads of textures that go over vector smart objects in Photoshop. As part of the look I need these textures and light leaks flooding across over the vectors I have placed in Photoshop.
Its a Zfold brochure and have built the whole thing in Photoshop due to the style I wish it to look.

MY PROBLEM
I have exported a 1x front of brochure and 1x Back as a Photoshop PDF and placed into indesign so I can use my fold and crop marks. This makes the live type that was in photoshop perfect and cant tell the difference that it was originally in Photoshop, it looks Indesign quality on my laser printer. The vector smart objects though are really blurry. Is there any way to keep the smart objects from rasterizing when saving in a file format?

Idea Suggestions?

Ok guys so ill start by saying that I am new to Photoshop, slowly learning my way threw things as I go. I picked up adobes offer on Photoshop/lightroom so those are the only 2 programs i currently have to work with. I am on a paintball team and we got jerseys made. We had quite a few problems with the company printing them so they offered to throw a free banner in for us. The issue is that we didnt already have a banner designed and since the design cost would be on the company printing it now they came up with a pretty horrible design, they literally just took the front of our jersey and put it on the banner and it looks pretty bad. Im having a roadblock on how i could even design this banner so I was hoping to have a little input from everyone here. I will post our jersey below, their suggested banner, and then just a fun little mock up that I did trying to learn my way threw photoshop. Please note that on my mock up i used words instead of actual sponsor logos, i need to use logos in the actual banner but couldnt get it to look right with them in mine.





Removing Graphics And Other Effects From The Image Of A Map.

I am very new to Photoshop. I have attached an image of a map.

I would like to remove all of the markers and other things in the image. Ideally I would like to be left with just the map itself. No background or anything like. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to learn through a hands-on approach. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for the help.

Photoshop & The Future

Now most of us here, I can imagine are here to learn and enhance our knowledge on photoshop. Maybe you are a photographer and use photoshop to tweak your photos, or just here for social fun as a hobby.

I'm on PSG today because..?
Graphics design is a hobby of mine, and it has been for a long time. I am here today as I would like to improve on my photoshop skills (self study), and hopefully one day have a career in this sector.

Now its your turn, why are you here today?

How Do I Create This 3d Shape

Hi all

I need to redraw this shape in photoshop. I started by created rounded rectangles, and moving one under the other.

However, I can't re-create the edges between the 2 squares so I expect I am going about it wrong!

I want to learn to do it myself really rather than ask someone else to do it.

I have tried 'creating 3d squares in photoshop' but all I get is how to make cubes, which isn't the same.

Any pointers please?

thanks

Any idea?
