Beginner photoshop recommendation
Can anyone recommend a good photoshop type program for a beginner?
Primary use will be car project renderings (change colours, wheels, ride heights etc) Prefer Ipad or at least Apple compatible. Thanks.

GIMP +1
It's become somewhat of a standard freeware program - even the Fortune 10 company I work for allows use of it on corporate laptops.

Ipad, really ? Maybe on an Ipad pro with a pen... Otherwise, for quality work, do it on the mac, so you can select edit masks or capture selections more precisely. Photoshop elements can be had for $50 regularly (promotions of whatever), it's good enough for most people, and what you learn will directly transfer to the real photoshop later... They have tutorials online too, failing that get a book, it's fun stuff once you master layers, edit masks, start blending picture areas with layers on top of layers to produce cool skies or what have you... That's the way I'd go.
Then, top tip, please don't post pictures where you simply applied crappy canned filters to impress your friends ;-) Nobody falls for that except maybe your mom ;-) |

There are car rendering tutorials using GIMP on youtube. That could show you if GIMP is what you need.

Although Gimp is good, I like Photoshop Elements. As a serious hobby, I paint in pastels and use Elements to format photos before I submit them in competitions. It's not expensive and the tutorials are easy. I'm not PS expert but Elements works for me. I can't speak to if it is Ipad compatible.
