Photoshop Tips

So you have just bought your new copy of Photoshop CS. You open it up - click a few buttons and then you suddenly realize that you don't have a clue what you are doing. Never fear there is always the manual that came with the photoshop software. Oh boy "do I have to read and learn all that?".

I know how you feel, photoshop does have a pretty steep learning curve and reading technical software manuals are certainly not my idea of fun! I prefer to learn by looking over someone's shoulder. So I immediately set off on a quest to find photoshop tips and video tutorials.

I did not want anything complicated, just a set of videos on DVD or CD, that would show me the basics. I also wanted to be able to store them on my own computer for easy reference.

I looked at a few sites like lynda.com. The photoshop tutorials look pretty good but you have to pay a monthly fee for as long as you were viewing the videos. Well I tend to forget things pretty quickly and I have to go back again and again - so that could end up a pretty expensive option for me. I also looked at total training but it was not quite what I wanted. 

Then I found Mark Monciardini. Now, be warned,  if you decide to get these video tutorials Mark may not be everyone's cup of tea. He is a rather excitable person and sounds as if he has had about 30 cups of coffee but boy can he get it over to you how to use photoshop.

What bought me over was the fact that Mark really knows what he is talking about as he has worked with some of the top photoshop professionals in the world. He has been nominated 2 years in a row for the International Photoshop Guru Award put out by the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.

I personally think his photoshop tips and tricks videos are the best I have ever seen.

If you are just learning photoshop and are looking for tips and tricks - it does not matter if you are a beginner or an expert - these photoshop videos that Mark has produced will get you up to speed in all aspects of the program.
