So Phlearn is sometimes useful, I dip in to their photoshop videos on YouTube every now and then when I want to know how to do something.

They've started a series called 30 days of PhotoShop, it's free, it's on YouTube, and this is the URL

The claim - from knowing nothing to being a whizz in 30 days.

 

As long as it takes less than 30 days to watch might be useful - I've got Martin Evening's latest book and it didn't do much for me. Has whizz a hidden meaning like " expert = a drip under pressure" ?

 

The only problem with the videos is, if you don't get on with the presenter, you REALLY won't get on with him

 

Thanks for the heads up. I find their videos helpful.

 

I'll give them a go too. I find I bumble through PS and there probably is a quicker and easier way to do things. Ive just seen a clip on PS's home page when I started it up (one of their short tutorial clips) Far too quick to even attempt to follow.

 

Given my lack of editing skills...

 

I've signed up for it. I *think* I know most of what I need to know in PS, but where there's a chance to pick up handy hints I'm all for it. But that presenter....yikes.

 

One of the videos they did a couple of years ago is him getting covered in this black goo for an artistic shot. I enjoyed that one.

 

Ah it was treacle. If you get annoyed by him, just watch this section it cheers me up.

Start at 2 minutes in.

 

I watched Day One. Not signed up but I guess I should do so I get the images he uses to work on during the lesson. I wouldn't mind being allowed to slap the presenter a little bit.

 

Yes, that's better. Although if he says 'gnarly' one more time I'll need something stronger than treacle.
