Next year for high school, I am taking a web design class, and they expect you to be an intermediate at photoshop 7.0. Well I just searched the web, and the tutorials that I found are not for beginners. Do you know any good sites for ABSOLUTE beginners? If so, thanks. I really appreciate it, I have one month to become an intermidiate.

Get Classroom in a book for photoshop. In my opinion, is the best all-around book to learn. Most of the public libraries, have it. If cannot find one, go to ebay, cheaper.
Good luck.

The best way I found, to learn Photoshop is to use it - in other words follow tutorials & buy digital photography magazines. Many magazines have video tutorials to follow. If you need any advice, give me a shout.
Good luck,Tina

This is a yahoo egroup

There's also InsideGraphicsopen which is where you can post and ask questions.

The home page has a lot on it, too.

I used to get the Inside Graphics Photoshop tutorials in email (they started out very simple, with each tool) but at one point they switched to PS7 (I have 6) and I kind of got away from it. Though I'm sure it's not that different (6 and 7)

If you join the egroups, and set it for "no email read on web only" you can go back in the archives and start at the beginning and go down the tutorials. I was printing them out when I got them in email and they were almost TOO simple (at that point) Like one for each tool and what it does- practice it, etc.

I'm not sure how they were as they got advanced. I'm the kind who thinks of something I want to do, or tries various things to see WHAT they do, and if I run into a question or problem I can't figure out in the way, I ask here

Or, put it in google search and see what I get for answers/pages about it.

I keep thinking it would be less frustrating and save time if I did just learn it all right from the beginning. Same with Paint Shop Pro.

How do tutorials for PS7 work with 6?

Are they much different?

[jgjulio]

I do not know 6. I have worked with 7 and now CS as well as Elements 1 and 2. There is a lot of overlap and the various programs and versions are extensions of each other. there are many ways to accomplish any one task on any one version. What you learn on one version or about a version will not be a waste of your time.

Thanks for the sites. I am really bad at graphic design and I hope to get better so this will help me alot also

In a way I find tutorials boring.

I mean to just look at them and start doing them, without having something in mind I want to do, and then looking for HOW to do it.

But I know it would help and be easier if I know just what to do when I come to something I do want to do.
