This tutorial was made to familiarize anyone to using Adobe Photoshop, and start creating awesome graphic design and projects today! This long video is a 5-Section tutorial that was designed to be a resource which could be used if one wishes to improve upon/ learn one certain aspect covered in the basics, however if you are a complete beginner, I recommend you follow along the whole way though this tutorial, so hopefully by the end of it, you will be alot more confident with your knowledge and ability as you continue getting more comfortable with the program!

I respect a person who tells me when the actual content begins

Hi guys, this is an amazing tutorial, but if you're like me and can't concentrate for more than 20 minutes, I would suggest an eBook/tutorial called "Design Evolution: Unlocking Adobe Photoshop's Secrets." That was my main source of knowledge at the beginning of my journey.

The smallest things in content production go the furthest distances. Even though it was a minute in, and 35 seconds until, the fact you put a time stamp for the true start is really nice. Got a new fan out of me today.

I just want to learn how to put Dr Phil on a walking egg

One year later update: I learned how to do it guys :D

A couple other things to recognize as a beginner from experience: Learn the keyboard shortcuts. They are essentially priceless for speed. Speed-driven quality is what makes your money in Photoshop. The faster you are, the more content you can create in an hour. The more content you can create, the more valuable that hour becomes. Your goal is to become skilled enough to create as much QUALITY content in an hour as possible. That is how photographers charge hundreds of dollars an hour. I guarantee you that any skilled photoshop designer uses keyboard shortcuts religiously. The work being completed in that hour is MASSIVE. So, they charge massively. Also, learn Adobe terminology. I'll never forget the time that I was trying to complete a clipping mask but didn't know the terminology for the action I was trying to complete. I would type "fit image into text" in my searches. Finally, I came across a tutorial that explained the term for the action. Next search I knew which wording to use to further advance my skills. God bless!

Thank you so much! I hope you kept this series going. My first time here and of all of the tutorials I have tried you make it the most clear and understandable. I'm so excited. Layers are so easy by your tutorial, I have been blocked on them and you can't do much without layers.

My first time ever even attempting Adobe Photoshop. Thank you!

Hi Alex, just wanted to express my thanks for this excellent video (& the series), I'm super new to Photoshop and so many videos have made me want to give up, but yours is really easy to understand and you take your time to explain, which I so appreciate. I'm used to Coreldraw and several other designs programmes, & Photoshop is a whole different bag, the reason I bought it was to transform photos of people & their pets into real watercolour pics (I have a programme to download which does this to perfection!), so if you have any tips or have included this in any videos or were thinking of doing that in the future, I'd be so grateful. You're the best, so many other videos race through stuff, so thank you again! Heather UK

brand new to photoshop I usually learn by following along doing whatever you do. however just watching has taught me a massive amount. I already have several ideas just from watching these basic steps. thank you watching all the tutorials!

[muskanyadav]

You are a lifesaver. Your tutorial is thorough. Not rushed. Easily understood by a complete newbie. I've watched a lot of Ps tutorials by some excellent experts, but you, you are a wonderful teacher. Thank yous!
