Do you own Adobe Photoshop? Well, good for you, but that alone doesn't
get you anywhere close to becoming a pro at editing your photos yet.
When I first started my Photoshop application, I got so confused with
all the possibilities that I quit the program after 30 minutes and
started regretting having paid such a high price for a piece of
software I thought I'd never be able to handle. Hopefully, you are not
as easily frustrated as I used to be, but I'm sure everyone out there
gets a similar first impression of Adobe Photoshop. However, let me
lift your mood right now by telling you that I have overcome my
"Photoshop-phobia" and I am sure you can do so as well.
I don't know about you, but when I read a book about Photoshop, it
just doesn't do the trick. It could bet he best manual on Photoshop in
the world, but you still get confused every time you try to transfer
information from the written text to your on-screen Photoshop
interface. It is just not the same, it's a totally different feeling,
maybe even an entirely different matter.
This is why I soon realized that reading about Photoshop and having
someone explain to me how wonderfully his photos will look afterwards
is just not working. I was just about to give up on me, when I finally
found a way to learn Photoshop so easily I almost couldn't believe it.
The answer to all my problems is so simple: Video Tutorials! To me,
this is such a great and effective approach, because you will see
exactly how everything is done. Not only will you have someone explain
how to use Photoshop, at the very same time you will actually see
where and how to click. This may not sound like a super-secret-
revealing news, but trust me, nothing is more effective when it comes
to learning Photoshop. I always like to compare this to the learning
process of a baby. Babies learn at least as much with their eyes as
they do by simply listening. It is scientifically proven that you
learn way more by watching and listening combined than by only reading
or listening to a tape. That's why babies are such great learners. And
that's exactly how I learned just about everything there is to know
about Photoshop.
While I know that there are probably hundreds of video tutorials on
Photoshop available for free on Youtube, I still highly recommend a
professional tutorial like David Peters' Adobe Photoshop Course. He
has been in the business of digital photography for years and knows
what he is doing. I don't think there are any better video tutorials
out there than his.
Check out Peter's site at http://www.edityourdigitalphotos.com. It
will get you to the same level as the Photoshop professionals in no
time and it is definitely more than worth the money.
