Photoshop Tutorials
Adobe Photoshop is one of the leading software applications for creating and manipulating and editing bitmaps and images. The software has first released for the Apple Macintosh computers in 1990, and has subsequently been through many iterations, revisions and new versions. Today versions of Adobe Photoshop are available for both Apple Macintosh computers and PCs using the Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Photoshop interoperates extremely well with other design software written or marketed by Adobe Systems Incorporated, and supports both raster and vector formats, as well as a variety of color models including RGB, CMYK, grayscale and duotone.
The program is based on a powerful concept of layering which allows
multiple images to be composited or blended together, and generally makes editing a breeze.
Although Photoshop is a well-designed program with an intuitive user interface, getting the most from the program does usually require some learning. This is both because there are a lot of functions and features in the program, and because many new users who want to learn to use Photoshop, do not have previously familiarity with advanced graphic design or prepress concepts. There is however no reason to be intimated by the thought of such learning - it's surprisingly easy to master the program, especially if you take advanced of one of the many Photoshop tutorial web sites, software training packages, or even Photoshop books that are available. While Adobe Photoshop is of course ideal for professional graphic designers, even ordinary folks can produce excellent results, if they just put some effort into learning the program.

This workshop is for the beginner through advanced amateur photographer. Have you ever seen a great subject in bad light, had perfect lighting conditions but no subject, or shot a subject only to have problems in your composition? Photoshop provides the photographer with the tools to create images that sometimes only exist in our imagination.
With this DVD, Jim shows all the techniques he uses to create some of his favorite Photoshop images and will have you creating your own dazzling Photoshop masterpieces. Even though Jim starts at the beginning, this DVD is not just for beginners. Because Photoshop can not be taught in a linear fashion, like mathematics, Jim quickly gets into very creative techniques that intermediate and advanced Photoshop users will love to learn.
In this DVD, Jim uses CS4 however, this program is designed to help users of any version of Photoshop because it focuses on techniques rather than teaching a specific version of Photoshop. The program is divided into the following chapters: Introduction & Actions: Jim introduces his goals for this program and teaches how to create custom actions in the action pallet to help speed up your workflow. Snowflake: Jim shows a simple technique he uses to mirror an image, creating a snowflake pattern from an picture of a tree. It is a great technique with many potential applications to creating very interesting nature abstracts. Mountain Lion: Learn how to turn an image into a poster art silhouette. Jim transforms an image of a Mountain Lion into a eye-popping silhouette. Bubble: Jim has always been interested in creating surrealism in his images. He shows all the steps he uses to create a reflective bubble within an image. Chopper: Combining two images with blend modes is one of the keys to creating real looking composite images in Photoshop. See how Jim transforms a photo of a helicopter he shot flying over his home into an explosive battleground scene. Tall Ship: Often times the condition for capturing spectacular images just are not right. Jim shows how he combines a dramatic seascape with an shot of a tall ship, turning an average picture into a real masterpiece. The Taj: The Taj Mahal has been photographed from every conceivable angle. See how Jim overcomes this fact and creates a never before seen angle on the Taj Mahal in Photoshop. T-Rex: One of Jim s favorite subjects are dinosaurs. Watch as he creates a photo-realistic image of a dinosaurs in a landscape using models he photographed in his home. Knights: Jim creates an image that he conceived years ago but was unable to shoot in a traditional way. Combining several photos, Jim puts together one of his favorite shots of two knights in a foggy forest. Doggy Bag: In this pre-conceived composite image, Jim uses a combination of techniques to create a realistic looking photograph of a puppy in a shopping bag. Closing Thoughts: Jim reviews the images and leaves some departing advice. This is a DVD-ROM containing QuickTime movie files for computer playback only. |
