    Info Photoshop Basics

    This is an online course that takes you through the basics of using PhotoShop. The pages are very 'busy'. Meaning there are a lot of links and text, so you may need to take a moment to get comfortable with layout.

    Post As per request

    RPMiller, in another thread you asked for a list of tutorials that would strengthen your Photoshop skills. I highly recommend the tutorials by Deke McClelland at lynda.com.

    While the tutorials are not free, there is the option to subscribe to the site to get the tutorials on a monthly basis. I pay 25$ per month to access the tutorials. A very good value in my books. I could not recommend them more.

    In particular, the best series is here:

    https://movielibrary.lynda.com/authors/author/?aid=98

    Second best is the videos here:

    Hope that helps,

    Sandeman

    Sandeman, I wanted to say that I took your advice and I got the Layers and Masks training from Deke. That man is AWESOME!!! I learned so much I'm still trying to get it all figured out. I love his training style and his vast knowledge seems to have no end. Thank you again for the recommendation and I'm definitely going to get more of his stuff.

    Oh, and have some rep!

    I got my Photoshop instruction in school, however I learned more from the free (ad supported) tutorials available at www.tutorialized.com. If you see a specific trick and want to figure out how to do it, odds are that it's detailled there.

    Yea, I got all my basic instruction in school as well. I then learned a ton over the years from tutorials and others that used PhotoShop semi professionally. The biggest problem I face is that I don't use it constantly and the basic instruction I took was rocky at best so I've been having to shore up my foundational understanding quite a bit while trying to learn more advanced stuff.

    Well, I like to think I have a pretty fair handle on it. So if anyone wants me to write a tutorial for something specific, feel free to drop me a line.

    I have been tinkering with a list to cover some of the topics I see mentioned here. But working on my own projects as well as other less enjoyable responsibilities has but me in a time crunch.

    Plus I don't know if anyone wants to hear my rants about how I make selections (usally Color Range and Marquee tools, not the wand) or the "Non-Destructive Editing" rant.

    Tutorial Not Exactly What you Would Think would be in a good tut.....

    The information is good, but presented in a comedic fashion:
