How to Learn Photoshop and Have Fun at the Same Time

Photoshop is undoubtedly one of the best software applications for editing graphic images.  Its powerful tools enable you to create, enhance and manipulate all types of graphics.  Photoshop is the industry standard for graphics professionals; however, there are many non-professional users too.  I am one of those.

 

By no means do I consider myself an expert.  In fact, I know just enough Photoshop to be dangerous.  A few weeks ago, I embarked on a quest to improve my skills when I ran across the most entertaining software tutorial I’ve ever found, “You Suck at Photoshop“.  Using a series of videos, Donnie insults your intelligence (because you suck at Photoshop) while teaching you how to use the application.  The tutorials are so entertaining that you may want to watch them even if you are a Photoshop expert.

 

 They are absolutely hilarious!  Check ’em out.

    Stumbled over from Twitter via Jeff Hennigan. Those Photoshop videos are hilarious! Especially today, having just finished an all day session with sixth & seventh graders. I will have to watch every episode. Thanks for sharing the links.
