However, I would have loved a tutorials that begins by explaining how the designers of photoshop envisaged it.

BEST BEGINNER PHOTOSHOP TUTORIALS HOW TO

Every single photoshop tutorial I've seen focuses on 'how to do' and generally begins with how to open a file -> how to crop -> change this option / that option. Rather than learning 'how to do' something, I always want to understand concepts and then, find my own 'how to do'.

The only thing I am an expert of is 'learning' fast but I am a learner with an anamoly. It's horse's for courses though and both are very good. Personally I prefer the Nace to McClelland style as Aaron is more of a creative who understands the importance of lighting, lens, filters and cameras and can work outside Photoshop in consequence, whereas Deke's approach is more academic. They have recently introduced a $10/month subscription allowing access to everything and you can cancel any time.

They have free tutorials but also very in depth professional tutorials as well. The masking sections of that course are particularly good and anyone struggling with Select and Mask will benefit and also perhaps understand the limitations and start using the more complex Calculations and Apply Image functionality which is the professional approach to masking and are explained extremely well.Īnother great source is with Aaron Nace. How fast is fast? I'd say study a course like that over at least six months and do no more than a couple of lessons a day followed by practice. However for anyone determined enough the courses can fast track you from nowhere to good enough to answer questions here on the forum or maybe even make your own tutorials on YouTube and start to build a portfolio. Deke also talks very fast, so a 15 hour course with him equates to a 20 hour course with many others. The truth is you cannot watch hour after hour of videos and expect to remember them, you just get information overload. I went through it in about a week, but had the advantage of already knowing Photoshop quite well, others might take a wee bit longer. It is not for the casual user though as each course is around 15 hours long, so 45 hours in total for the entire thing. The course consists of three courses, in fact, beginning with 'Fundamentals', going to 'Advanced' and finally 'Mastery' as Mr McClelland calls it and is one of the best set of courses I know of for learning Photoshop.

I recently went through Deke McClelland's One on One series for Photoshop 2017 on Lynda.Com.

I just need help here, should I go for roundup like the mentioned above or should I go for paid sites or should I learn by myself?Īlthough you can find some really excellent tutorials for free at places like YouTube, the trend seems to be now towards 'paid learning' The advantage of the paid courses tends to be they are organized so that one topic builds upon another and you also generally have access to the images the teacher uses so you can follow along. Here is the link which I am talking about: After that, they added advanced tutorials like photo manipulation, retouching, photo effects, text effect and tutorials for the web and graphic designers as well. The source I found has the tutorials categorized for everyone like it has tutorials for beginners like using layers, layers mask, adjustment layers, introduction to Photoshop tools, selection technique's tutorials and all the basic tuts which needed to learn Photoshop. I just found a new resource having 100 Photoshop tutorials and this roundup different than others I found on the Google, some are featuring advanced tutorials, some just thrown a list of tutorials and others results are paid.

Right now I am facing the problem with tools, adjustment layers, layer mask and you know kind of basic stuff. I'm new to Photoshop and I am learning with my own.
