Photoshop Tutorials

As part of this blog I hope to direct readers to the best resources that the web offers amateur photographers. One of those resources is PS tutorials. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of them out on the web, some better than others. I can't claim to have seen even half of them, but have found some better than others.

No matter your view on PS (in a later post I hope to discuss the ethics surrounding photo editing), you have to admit that it is a very powerful tool. One that very few probably fully understand and can utilize. So, with that in mind, I hope to regularly feature websites that have outstanding PS tutorials.

One very good tutorial series is You Suck at Photoshop, put together by Donnie Hoyle. He spends time teaching fundamental PS techniques, with the assumption that you have been in PS before. His tutorials are a bit offbeat and very funny. The language can be a bit rough, so turn down the speakers if kids are around.

Much of what he teaches may not be directly useful to a landscape photographer, but you learn so much in the process of doing these tutorials, that you will come out better off for having done them.
