What beginners need to look for in Photoshop training



Photoshop training is a great bargain for all types of users-whether you're an experienced Photoshop user or a true beginner, Photoshop training can add tremendous power and value to all your professional and personal projects. Photoshop training gives beginners the strong foundational knowledge they need to create dazzling results right away. The great thing about a good Photoshop training course is that the more you learn, the more you'll want to go on learning.

If you're a professional photographer or graphic artist with no Photoshop experience, be sure to sign up for a Photoshop training course today. You won't believe what you've been missing by not putting the power of Photoshop to work for you. Professionals from all fields are using Photoshop CS2 to take their work and careers to a higher level. From scientists and dentists to archaeologists and Biblical scholars, professionals all over the world are using Photoshop to do things that their predecessors would have thought impossible.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that Photoshop training is only for professional photographers and graphic designers. And don't make the mistake of thinking that Photoshop has lots of functions that you'll never need to use. Experience has taught me that as soon as I learn how to use a new function, my new skill adds power and value to practically everything I do on my computer. If you're a novice, here are some of the things you should look for in a good introductory Photoshop training course:

* How to get around the work area: A Photoshop training course will teach you how to work with the file browser, how to create and save new documents, how to use different file formats, and how to work with Photoshop files. The course should teach you how to import and scan images, as well as how to get started with basic keyboard shortcuts.

* How to work with tools and images: You need to learn the tool bar, what the individual tools can do, how to work with palettes and resolution, how to align images, and how to create and use thumbnails.

* How to work with color: A good Photoshop training course will teach you all about the use of color for graphic design. To get the most out of your choice of color, you'll need to learn how to use the color picker, the color palettes, the eyedropper, and the navigator palettes.

* How to work with selections: Photoshop training will quickly give you the ability to use all the selection tools. You'll learn how to transform selections and content, and how to use quick masks.

* How to use layers and basic retouching: An introductory Photoshop training course will show you how to create and work with layers, how to blend layers, how to transform your images and artwork with layer styles, how to work with the history palette, and how to do basic retouching of your digital images.

Adding Sunlight Through The Trees

In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial, we're going to learn how to add beams of sunlight through trees, which is not only a great way to make an image look more interesting, it's also a lot easier to do than you might think, as we'll see.
