Adobe Photoshop tutorials and guides

Seriously, why is everything in bold? You could buy the book, but it costs a freaking fortune... $223 one version is one price, then another is like $88, just find something online instead

http://www.google.com/search?client=...utf-8&oe=utf-8 tutorials on all sorts of sites

Having quick guides is pretty much pointless anyway since the software is way too complex. Better to just learn it bit by bit—like selection tools, color correction, layers, filters, retouching... plus, you'll actually get more out of it if you learn in English, since you'll be practicing the language at the same time

Over here: http://hr.diplodocs.com/414159.php?k...T%20SHOP%20PRO there are some guides in American, but I have no clue how useful they are or which version they cover

p.s. before posting stuff like this, try typing the question into Google or some other search engine first. Like, "Adobe Photoshop tutorials"... you'll be surprised how many answers pop up...

If I were you, I'd start with this— http://www.grafx-design.com/psp_tut.html it's broken down by chapters

Sorry about the bolding (and the shouting!), I totally forgot how this works... It's been ages since I've spent any time on forums. Honestly, I'm a pretty peaceful person, and I'm just so grateful for all this amazing help! I tried looking things up online myself, but I wasn't really finding what I needed. I think I'll just stick to your advice instead. Thanks so much!😛🙂

Trying to learn from a quick guide is kind of pointless anyway because the software is just too complex. It's way better to tackle it piece by piece—like learning selection tools, color correction, layers, filters, retouching, etc. Plus, you'll actually get more out of it if you learn using English resources, since it helps you practice the language at the same time.

You can check here: http://hr.diplodocs.com/414159.php?k...T%20SHOP%20PRO there are some guides available, though I'm not sure how helpful they are or which version they cover.

P.S. Before posting questions like this next time, try typing the exact question into Google or another search engine. For example, "Adobe Photoshop tutorials." You'll be surprised how many answers pop right up...

There are basically two ways to go about this. One is the old-school way, like sitting through a formal class and grinding through lessons in order. The other is just learning on the fly—you look up how to fix something specifically when you actually need to do it. That’s how I handle Adobe Photoshop. It’s way too massive to try and memorize everything, and honestly, you never really need to know every single feature in a program anyway...

For instance, let's say you have a photo that just needs a quick touch-up before posting it online or printing it. In most cases, that's all you'll ever need: maybe a quick crop, some color correction, adjusting hue and saturation, or messing with light via contrast, levels, and curves. You might need to fix red-eye (which you can do with masks, though most software has wizards for it—better to learn how to do it manually though), plus a little retouching to clear up a pimple or remove some clutter from the frame. Then there's sharpening details or blurring out the background...

Just getting a handle on those basics takes some time, especially the red-eye stuff and retouching...

And before all that, it wouldn't hurt to at least understand the fundamentals of photography, color theory, composition, and stuff like that...

Then you get into heavy photo manipulation. That's where you start dealing with layers, selections, masking, transformations, and all sorts of filters to make things look realistic. Every one of those topics is its own beast. It's best to tackle them one by one depending on what you're trying to pull off. Honestly, the best move is to just grab a camera, mess around with whatever's in front of you, and play with the shots. Like, if you edit a photo of a friend to slim her waist, boost her chest, and wipe away her dark circles, she might buy you a beer... or start a fight with you if you go too far...

Don't freak out just yet, but yeah, there's a ton to learn. I've been using Adobe Photoshop since '95, and I'd say I probably use maybe 40% of what it can do. And really, I don't even need more than 20% for anything I actually do...
