Learning Photoshop

We are a small business that has traditionally outsourced our photoshop needs to a small business locally. However, the other business is getting much bigger and wants more work from us to continue the relationship. We have decided to try some of the stuff in house and we are looking for the best tutorials either off line or on line.

What kind of work are you trying to do in Photoshop? It may help to let us know a specific area(s) that you want to do in house so we can provide you with the appropriate tutorials/ directions.
Adove TV has some great tutorials that can get you guys started in the general direction.

Searching "Photoshop tutorial" on google will give you many free tutorial links. Same with Youtube
Others include training websites that require subscription memberships.

Learning Photoshop CS2 - Books, tutorials courses ?

Hi everyone!
I would firstly like to apologise if this topic has been covered in depth but i am desperately looking for the right book/s as a Christmas present to ensure that my girlfriend learns Photoshop CS2 with ease. I have some experience in Photoshop and have been doing an IT degree here in New Zealand for the past 4 years but Im not a designer so i really need your guys help!
I also appreciate that there are so many books out there but have found that some dont go into enough depth or lack the variation in examples to significantly cover what photoshop has to offer. I was initially thinking that a couple of books might be necessary to take her from beginner to advanced.
Background - She has just finished a degree in Fashion design & Art with straight As. She has always excelled in arts and photography but has lately found her self-doing graphics based contract work for fashion designers. This has all been in Corel draw 11 and Corel photo paint 11. She has been using Corel products for about 6 years now but by no means considers herself an expert.
She now realises that shes needs a raster based program such as Photoshop that extends the functionality of Corel photopaint. She has also decided on going back to school to specialise in computer-aided design so she needs to learn Photoshop fast.
I think she is the person that appreciates step by step instructions by example but would also benefit from software based tutorials.
I was wondering if you good people would be able to suggest any text books that would cater to her needs.
I was also wondering if the full 700 dollars + version needs to be purchased as she is charging for the work that she does? I noticed that there were several licenses within the website, which one is appropriate. She is not studying at the moment but will be start again in a few months. Are their licenses that cover students that are selling their work?
Am I making the right assumption that she needs CS2? Is it that widely supported? Would it be better for her to by another version of Photoshop?
I would also like to thank you guys for taking the time to read this post and greatly appreciate any response.
Paul

CS 2 is a must if she is working with high fashion photography.
like images from A canon Eos 1DS mark II
most digital photographers now adays use RAW obsessivly when they are unsure about the exposure by about a tenth of a stop in the highlights or maybe if they are dealing with more than one type of lighting and are worryed about white balance.
phase one capture one is a good progam to know if she is working with photographers, actualy the more you know about the photographers capture process the easyer it will be to learn about exactly what progam is best for you. If your not working with raw at all that CS 1 will do nicely

Best ways to learn photoshop CS4?

Hello,
First time poster here. I see from posts I've been reading here that many of you are experienced Photoshop users. I hope you can share some advices on best books or videos to help me learn Photoshop.
What do you suggest?
TIA
Karl

Spend thousands of hours in front of your computer with this crazy application called Photoshop open! ;) First and foremost, I would read some books written by Dan Margulis....possibly "Professional Photoshop" which will give you a great understanding of color correction. Also, join NAPP http://www.photoshopuser.com/ for however inexpensive it is and watch the video tutorials which are priceless and also able to be downloaded if you have Quicktime Pro, etc. Obviously there is no substitute for time actually working in an application, but different Photoshop seminars like Photoshop World can be helpful, reading books and online tutorials are great, and also some more advanced stuff once you really have a grasp in PS would be something like Dan Margulis's classes which are SUPER intense 3 day classes which propelled me above many of my colleagues in regards to how Photoshop should really be used and what it was intended for...not just running plastic wrap filters. :) Hope this helps! @.

Adobe Camera Raw 8 has new editing features. Matt Kloskowski demonstrates.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-photoshop-cc/an-overview-of-camera-raw-8/

I just updated Camera RAW in Photoshop CS6 extended to version 8.1.0.43 I looked up the new features but can't get the cloning/healing brush to paint over an area. It just wants to make a circle . Is there a button I have to hit or a setting I'm missing to paint over an area ?

Best way to learn Photoshop?

Hi there,
I'm trying to transition to a career as a graphic/web artist and before making the transition I was looking to take a photoshop and/or illustrator classes (preferably weekend classes) in the Los Angeles/Santa Monica area. I don't have photoshop on my computer so ideally I'd be able to find a class that had the program loaded on their computers already.
Any help and/or advice on how to become a graphic/web designer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for taking the time.

A student can buy the whole creative suite for $599 the cost of nonstudent purchase of Photoshop standard. The best way to learn Photoshop is to have it and use it. Click on every button, menu item, and pallet/panel. don't be afraid to look in every nook and cranny, I'm always surprised by the lazy people who ask the most basic questions all because they have not put the time into looking around the application.
seriously if you are going to spend all that money on the app It seems like you would want to spend some time going over it. Think of it as a video game and you must look at everything to win.
also if you only want it to crop pics and print them or put them up on a simple website Elements just might be a better choice

Learning Photoshop CS4

I've just emptied my bank account and bought CS4 (omg!) and I'm a completely new user to Photoshop (apart from using the trial versions) so I wondered if anyone had any advice on a book to buy to help me learn Photoshop?
I know there's tons of tutorials on the web but I really prefer a hard copy on my desk to refer to.
What books have you read on PS that you would recommend?
Thanks
TM

emptied mine on the same, PLUS, printer, labtop, 2K of other software, 200$ worth (well, we'll see what they are 'worth) of books, Intuos 4 tablet, Corell Paint, Nik Software Collection, Lightroom 2, Photoshop Elements 7 and Adobe Premiere Elements 7.
AFTER ALL THIS..... I STILL CANT GET CAMERA RAW TO WORK. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? (please?)
HOWEVER...
I know NOTHING - BUT - after extensive research on my : this is what I purchased ... (my own opinion is simply that, plus other AMAZON users will show) go to PEACHPIT and OREILLY and AMAZON for your books and see who has a better deal, sometimes, one will be like getting 2 books free by saving $$ OR if you need something special - go to Oreilly or PeachPit . they are a bit more expensive, but offer buy 2 get 3rd free type books. And have pretty cool resources on books too and PeachPit is a decent website to checkout.
I bought all of these at AMAZON: I did the research and it came out about 70$ cheaper (with all of these books)

Working with Layers | Learn Photoshop Elements 9 | Adobe TV

With layers, you can work nondestructively and save all of your creative ideas in a single file. Learn about the various options in the Layers panel and how to harness the true power of Photoshop Elements by working with layers.
http://adobe.ly/ynakt0

What is the best way to work on photographs, editing them, and preparing for print if I can't save layers as .jpg or non-layered .tiffs? The photo lab I will be using does not allow layered .tiff. I have seen many videos that show how to let's say enhance eyes using layers, but in this video it says that .jpg cannot be used. I am new to photography and PSE an would like to know if there is an alternative way to edit an image that can be saved as .jpg. Thank you!

The new Photoshop Elements 11 user interface | Learn Photoshop Elements 11 | Adobe TV

Take a tour of the new, modern interface in Photoshop Elements 11. See the three-column design of the updated Organizer, learn about the options in the Task bar, and see how you can easily view subsets of photos by People, Places, Events, and even Media. Also check out new Quick, Guided, and Expert editing modes, which enable you to edit photos the way that works best for you.
http://adobe.ly/PnCOFT

While I like some of the thinking behind the new interface, it looks like it was drawn by a 5 year old child who was only allowed to have thick crayons. I HATE the way that I cannot enlarge the layers panel in the main editor*, the way the tool icons are double stacked on the left and the midtone gray background. For those reasons alone I will continue to use Elements 9, even though I have paid good money for 11.
except by clicking layers icon in the bottom tool bar, which erases all the other tool windows you had open, so you have to use the window drop down menu to get them back.
Frankly, it's crap.
