Basic Guide To Learning Photoshop Tutorials
By Peter Davidson
So you now own Photoshop but you’ve never taken any lessons or tutorials about how to use it.
Never fear, there is plenty of online help. You can read the Photoshop tutorials on the Web for a fee, you can read the demo version of paid tutorials free of charge (generally the first few chapters), you can buy the CD for just under $100, or you can download a PDF of Photoshop tutorials.
Let’s take a look the first and most basic of the Photoshop tutorials.
The first of this package of Photoshop tutorial CDs is called the Interface. Here you’ll get a very basic introduction to Adobe Photoshop and how to access online help for its use.
You’ll learn the first basic steps in the use of the interface, and the various options found in its file menu. You’ll learn how to use the palette in the Photoshop file browser and how to make the best use of the image window and the zoom and hand tools.
Palette shortcuts and the palette navigator are lessons include in the Photoshop tutorials, as well as a demonstration of the use of preferences and recipes.
The next part of these beginner Photoshop tutorials teaches the use of the application’s tools. This is where you learn about the tool palette, the lasso and marquee tools, and the magnetic lasso.
The tutorial teaches you the use of the magic wand tool, as well as the crop and type tools and the vector based shapes. The Photoshop airbrush, paint bucket, and tools fro gradient and penciling are all taught in this CD too.
Photoshop also has an eraser, a magic eraser, a brush that lets you paint like the Impressionist artists, and a clone tool. You’ll learn the techniques for the use of each. You’ll also be taught how to sharpen, sponge, smudge and blue, and how to dodge and burn.
Photoshop basic tutorials wouldn’t be complete without lessons on image management, in which the artist learns to size the image and the canvas, how to rotate and to work with the various modes of the image and make adjustments to them.
Levels of contrast and brightness are learned, as well as the use of fill flash and backlighting. You’ll also master variations and color replacement in this CD.
Next on the Photoshop tutorials list are layers – the basic and the management of layers, the concepts and techniques of locking, transparencies, the creation of layers, and the selection of transparencies. You learn about clipping groups, about the various styles of layers, and transforms for bounding boxes.
Blending modes will be taught, and the ins and outs of fill and adjustment layers, and the techniques of flattening, merging and renaming the Photoshop layers.
Other basic Photoshop tutorial techniques you’ll learn include filter applications such as browsers and blue, mask and liquefy filters. You’ll learn about photomerge, image selection tools, options in the select menu, the automate feature, saving files and for the Web as well as Web animation.
