If
asked to list the most intimidating parts of digital photography, a
large number of photographers would include Adobe Photoshop. Without
question, its the premiere image-processing software on the market,
but its high price matches its learning curve. The good news about
Photoshop is that it has a huge number of controls; the bad news about
Photoshop is that it has a huge number of controls. This article is designed to jumpstart the photographer whos challenged by Photoshop. The tips I recommend work extremely well in doing that, but as one grows in working with Photoshop, each photographer finds his or her own approach. For example, most advanced workers use Layers, yet theres nothing about Layers here (well revisit this in a future issue of PCPhoto). Layers can be intimidating and confusing if youre not comfortable with some of the key tools in the program. Id rather have people start to have fun in the program, gain some confidence and not have them deal with Layers until later. |
