Alex asks:
I am new to Photoshop and along with messing around by myself I am looking for good Photoshop tutorials, preferably videos.
I have searched around myself (on YouTube), but I have yet to find anything actually good. I am looking for basics and even more advanced stuff – just to be familiar with all that Photoshop can do. Any one know good tutorials?

April 11, 2010I think this site is pretty good http://psd.tutsplus.com/
But it really depends what you want to do. If you get stuck and don’t know how to do it, if you google it, you should find a tutorial on how to do it.
I would also have a look at this http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/10.0/help.html if you get stuck on finding anything.
And this page http://www.adobe.com/support/photoshop/
I hope they help
Those are some solid resources. Thanks!
April 11, 2010No problem. I am glade to help. That’s why we’re here.

April 12, 2010Hi Alex,
make sure to check MakeUseOf guides, both received pretty good feedback from users.
- An Idiot’s Guide To Photoshop [Free PDF]
- An Idiot’s Guide to Photoshop – Part 2 [PDF]
Yeah, I have checked those out. Those are very well done.
April 12, 2010Thanks!
Oh and not so long ago we have reviewed best websites to learn Photoshop online. The article received lots of good feedback from readers.

April 12, 2010Nothing beats NAPP (the National Association of Photoshop Professionals). Costs $99/year, but well worth it with all you get. Training, lots of free stuff, big discounts to most things related, Photoshop User mag, conventions, huge web sites, etc, etc. Their tens of thousands of members will happily agree. Best source on the planet, very close with Adobe.

Try lynda.com for Photoshop and all sorts of other software tutorials. You can get unlimited access to tutorials for $25.00 a month. They have other payment plans too. You can also buy there lessons on DVD. Best of luck to you in your Photoshop adventures.

April 24, 2010Photoshop at first for me was very intimidating. I have been working with it for about a year now and I’m still no where near as good as I would want to be
I started with the School of Photoshop series on tutorial nine
http://www.tutorial9.net/school-of-photoshop/
they have good detailed tutorials on all there is to the program
For beginners, the “You suck at Photoshop” video series on youtube is a great help
Link to First Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_X5uR7VC4M
For more video tutorials, check out http://psd.tutsplus.com/articles/web/18-of-the-best-photoshop-videos-online/
Some of the best Photoshop tutorial sites are:
http://psd.tutsplus.com/
http://pshero.com/
http://www.tutorial9.net/
unlike some other commenters here. I would not recommend lynda.com tutorials. sure they are good, but they are long, and personally I can’t sit and watch an entire tutorial. besides, there are lots of free tutorials available that are just as good, if not better.
Hi Shaheer, thanks for the comprehensive answer!
