Photoshop Beginners: The Select Tools – Episode 1

Adobe Photoshop is a very interesting program. There is so much to it. And I do not say that lightly. I mean there is SO MUCH TO IT! Photoshop can be used for photo manipulation, graphic design, creating something from nothing and much, much more!

There are quite a lot of different tools out there to learn photoshop but there is a lot of videos that expect you to know a lot to learn the specific technique the video is teaching.

When I first started learning about photography and editing, this was a big problem I kept running into. I would look up on YouTube how to do something, let’s say to do project E. However, the video expected me to know steps A, B, C and D already.

How was I supposed to know what those were? I didn’t even know how to learn steps A-D because I didn’t even know what those steps were or called.

That’s when I decided to come out with this video series. A series dedicated to going over the BASICS of photoshop. Starting simple and going through the tools, and how they work. Giving an overview and examples.

Everyone starts somewhere, and this video series is definitely for beginners. A lot of people probably already know this stuff, but for people who were like me, I would have loved to know this information. It would have saved me COUNTLESS hours and stress and frustration on trying to find these things!

I hope you enjoy these Photoshop Basics and it gives you that learning boost you were looking for!

Thanks Will. Now I have a reason to get Photoshop and not fumble around too much. You need to do a similar series for Lightroom.

Question? Is Adobe Lightroom the same as Adobe photoshop? And if not which one is better? I downloaded Lightroom in my iPhone but I’m planning on getting it on my computer. Which one would you recommend?
