It was a step up from paint shop pro.
When layers became a thing it blew my mind.Before that I used paint.
No, really. The second "job" I got was illustrating equipment for a catalog using ms paint. win 3.How I learned photoshop was simply transfering the little I knew from paint, to psp, and then finally photoshop. And from there on just having fun using it.
Sidenote:
In the late 90ies they asked me to hold a class in the design collage I were at. As a student.
Later, after years working at various agencies and using it daily, I went back to university (for odd reasons). Photoshop was part of course, and the lady who held that class failed me. Something about my work not being "creative enough" (the other, younger kids filled business card with crude illustrations in which the type drowned). Funnily enough what I handed in was the exact layout from the worlds largest (single) ad agency who I had happened to work at before that university.
