Photoshop CS2 v9.0?

okay, so i recently got Photoshop CS2 v9.0.

i really love image editing %26 stuff like that, but i know that i'm just brushing the surface of a $600 program, and i have no idea where to go from here.

what i mean is, i'm doing the same thing with Photoshop that i've been doing with a freeware program (Photofiltre).

does anyone have any creative ideas to use it for? anything you've PERSONALLY done with Photoshop? because i don't want to waste it--i'm thankful to have it %26 i want to use it to its full potential! =D

thanks!

Well, I'm not really doing anything amazingly creative either, I just make intersting images with filters and lighting effects. But if you want really creative ideas try this book: "How To Cheat With Photoshop". Look for the CS2 version, you should get some good ideas from there. You can find it at Barnes %26 Noble.
