How to use photoshop tutorials

Hi
I'm an amature trying to learn a bit about photography. I read magazines etc, experiment and in general try to improve and learn skills. However quite often one comes across a photoshop tutorial that shows how to do something. Sometimes its easy to follow along with aperture and other times its not.
Does anyone know if there is a "cheatsheet" out there that explains photoshop tools and their aperture equivalent (at least when there is one). On instance would "clarity" - i've not been able to figure out if aperture has a similar function.
Anyway, would be great if there was somewhere one could get feedback on apertures equivalent for some photoshop commands.

Clarity's closest analogue is Aperture's 'definition' slider. There is no ability for definition to go negative like clarity can, though (the effects are strange).
There's really no true mapping between Photoshop and Aperture. More between Lightroom and Aperture.
So I'd suggest you get a book on Aperture, if that's what you're using to do your photo editing and enhancement.

Where do I find a tutorial on how to use photoshop elements 11 and premier elements 11?

Where do I find a tutorial on how to use photoshop elements 11 and premier elements 11?

The tutorial courses that got me going were on lynda.com. Both the PE and PrE courses are taught by instructors that know the software and how to teach on line.
The difference between random turtorials and a course is organization. A course has a beginning, or foundation and builds skills one at a time. Random tutorials like on Adobe TV or YouTube can be very good but they don't have the sequential skill building process.
Many of the Adobe TV tutorials are chapters provided by lynda.com as part of their marketing program. If you like them, you can pay the $25 a month for the full course work.

Where can I get full instructions on how to use photoshop?

Hi Stephanie,
Photoshop is a huge program with a pretty steep learning curve. I would look at your local library or bookstore for a book for your particular version of Photoshop.
Adobe Classroom in a Book is a good starting point.
I also like books by Deke McClelland, Scott Kelby and Ben Willmore.
You may also want to look at signing up at Lynda.com to access their vast video tutorial library (I believe it is $25 USD/month.)

Adobe TV has some good free tutorials:

Julieanne Kost (my hero) has a ton of resources:

How to use Photoshop CS6

Hi Peeps,
I have been using Photoshop Elements 4.0 but now I have to switch to Photoshop CS6 as there are some printing issues with Elements 4.0.
I would like to seek for your kind advices how to use Photoshop CS6 as I can't seems to find the answer in support link.
In Elements 4.0, there is a Pencil mode we can use and set the size but i did not find it in CS6 except the Pen mode.
As well as in Elements 4.0, i can show grid lines as i need to make the images centralised but i cant find in CS6 also, the option is greyed-out.
May i seek for the users/experts of Photoshop CS6 to enlighten me?
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Kazz

Hihi Silkrooster,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply!
May I still seek further assistance from you? As I simply can't get the pencil line that I wants.
In Elements 4.0, I just have to simply select Pencil -> Size: 3 px, Mode: Normal Opacity: 100% and I can get the size of the pencil line that I need.
See attached screenshot below: -
But in CS6, i tried the combination of 2B pencil -> Size: 3 px, Mode: Normal Opacity: 100%, but it does not work so i go to extend to set Brush Tip Shape.
See green box 1: its the pencil line that I want.
See green box 2: its set to 3px, square pointed, softness: 100% but it's too big and looks faded.
See green box 3: All is the same except is 2px but at least it looks so much alike to the one i need (dark, black solid line) but it's too thin.
Can enlighten me how to go about it plssss?
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Kazz

How to use Photoshop elements more efficiently

I have a blog Jobs & Newspaper Job Ads i frequently used Adobe Photoshop and other Adobe products to make banners,advertisements and other things for marketing,I need help of how to use all tools effectively and which element shoud be applied first and which one last as i feel a bit diffcult to creat more complex and close to nature graphics.

I am unaware of a universal work flow.
Suggest the following considerations for your projects:
For printing, resolution should be 240-300 px/in. For web work, 72 px/in is ok
File>new>blank>file will allow you to set the parameters
Optimize the background
Add your component graphics. Each should be on a separate layer. Ideally, the resolution of the graphics should be the same value as used in step #2
Make adjustments with adjustment layers, e.g. levels, brightness/contrast
Sharpen last
Please post examples of your work in progress for additional guidance.

How to use Photoshop Elements 11 Image Tags in Lightroom 4.4

Hello,
I would like to filter my Lightroom catalog by people in the photo. This could be done manually in Lightroom using metadata, however, Photoshop Elements 11 Organiser has an auto-analyse feature that does this automatically and creates Image Tags for all identified people. How do I use the Photoshop Elements 11 Organiser Image Tags in Lightroom 4.4?
I have tried:
Created image tags for identified people. These are listed in the Image Tags section of the main workspace and can be used within Photoshop Elements 11 Organiser to filter on people using Search and People features.
Updated metadata within Lightroom
Searched for tags in all metadata fields using Library Filters
I have been unable to find any mention of these Image Tags in the file metadata - perhaps they only exist in the Photoshop Elements 11 Catalog? If so, does anybody have a best practice for transferring this information between Photoshop Elements 11 and Lightroom 4.4?
Thanks in advance,
David

Yes you can open multiple images into PSE from LR. But actually there is no great advantage in using Lightroom for Photomerge as the export copies are already created in the Library but the saved copy will be the merged version which LR will know nothing about, and which would need to be imported to the library separately.
I would personally start from Expert Mode in PSE11 and then use:
File >> Open
Navigate directly to the folder and select the images you want and click open.
If they are raw files they will open up in camera raw and will already have the light room adjustments included, if the metadata has been saved to file in Lightroom.
Click select all (top left) and then ensure the image depth is set to 8 bits using the drop down menu at the bottom of the dialog. Then click the open images button (bottom right) to send them all into PSE.

Where can I learn how to use Photoshop? Is there an online manual?

I just downloaded the 30-day free trial and watched some tutorials. So far, OK, but not enough! Can anyone tell me where to find instructions?

Go to Online help page
Photoshop Help | Photoshop Help
and on the left half way down the page there are links to two PDF files
https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/photoshop_reference.pdf
http://help.adobe.com/archive/en/photoshop/cc/2013/photoshop_reference.pdf (via the archive page)
But I always use the online facility because it is easier to search and find what you are looking for. The CC PDF is just short of 800 pages for instance. That would take a lot of reading through!
Adobe publish their Classroom in a Book series, which break down learning the apps into manageable chunks, but I still think that too dry and difficult as a way to learn Photoshop. Because it is such a complex application that can do so many things, it is MUCH better to learn those aspects that you have an immediate and ongoing use for. That way you avoid the 'use it or loose it' trap. You don't need to learn it all in one go. In fact there will be large chunks you will _never_ need to learn because you'll never have a use for them.
So I would suggest getting to grips with layers and layer masks, as a first step. Then when you get stuck, come back and ask on the forum.

How best use Photoshop CS6 (not CC) to edit AVCHD video?

Neither Photoshop CS6 Extended (not CC) nor OS 10.10.2 seem to recognize AVCHD files on a camera card?
Yet, iMovie will import them -- apparently for use in iMovie only. The quality as seen in iMovie is poor and the program is inferior to even the simplified video editing facility in CS6.
How do I get access to these video files in the highest possible quality and bring them into CS6 Extended for editing?

I don't think AVCHD formats like M2TS files are supported, out of the box anyway. I know Sony Creative's apps like Vegas and Vegas Movie Studio can open them natively since it's their format to begin with.

How to use photoshop to create a Media UI

Hey, I was wondering if there is anyway to create document in photoshop that could load specific video files. Myabe link it through a slice? or something like that. As you can see im not very good with this stuff, but it would be nice if i could design and create a UI where i could browse and play family videos etc. Any help would be much apreciated, Thanks.

They work fine. I first tried with a clone of my main drive doing an update in place on it.
i guess I will need to boot into 10.9 to use them.
I will mostly use stand-in apps like Pixelmator.

How to use Photoshop CC with Elements Organizer 12

Hi!
I have Photoshop CC and Elements Organizer 12. However, whenever I choose to edit my photos with Photoshop CC, they don't show up as "Edit in Progress" in Organizer. When I save the photos from Photoshop CC, my changes don't update in Organizer. However, Photoshop CC is an option in the Editor menu in Organizer, so Organizer knows that Photoshop CC exists.... Whenever I edit using Elements Editor, everything works as normal. I'm paying money for CC and I can't use it, so I really hope there's a solution!
-BalinKingOfMoria

Hi Balin,
Did you ever find a solution to this. I'm using Elements 11 with CC 2014 and having the exact same frustrating problem. It's so bad I revert to using Elements editor most times now. I rely heavily on organiser for my 50k catalog.
Cheers,
Flano

How-to: Using Photoshop CS5 on external drive

If you've installed Photoshop CS5 on an external hard drive, you might experience crashes. This is due to these drives automatically going to sleep mode after a few minutes. Some drives allow you to modify the sleep mode settings; however, many others don't let you change these presets.
One solution: On Windows, use a program such as NoSleep to prevent the drive from going to sleep. To save energy, once you've shut down Photoshop, you can disable the NoSleep program and your external drive will once again use its default sleep mode. The program puts a convenient item in your system tray.
Here's a similar solution for OS X.

Small hard drive? Split your iTunes library across multiple volumes - http://www.macyourself.com/2009/04/24/small-hard-drive-split-your-itunes-library -across-multiple-volumes/ - copying media folders to external, then deleting from internal, then adding again.
Splitting & Managing Your iTunes Library - http://machintsandtips.com/i-j-k/itunes/splitting-managing-your-itunes-library/ - using option+drag to override iTunes from copying file to your default media folder.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10160819#10160819 - Change location of media folder to start putting files on second drive. Note later follow-up post about leaving 'organize media' and 'copy to drive' checked.
