Photoshop Tutorials

Joined: 11/28/2008

Being that I am more of a designer then a developer I was wondering if you guys can do some Photoshop video tutorials. Maybe something for like website layouts, nav bars, or something like that. I know this community is sort of new, but it was something I thought of. God Bless.

I would love to see photoshop, gimp, illistrator, and inkscape tutorials as well. Especially since I coder who has to occasionally dip my fingers in design.

I'll take this on...eventually

Yeah, I always mean to do more photoshop tutorials and I'll take this on soon....but hopefully some others can beat me to the punch (hint hint).

Can you give me some specifics, Adrian, of what you'd like to see? When it comes to Photoshopping a website, my approach is usually different than most, I think, (and doesn't involve any slicing, etc) so I'm not sure how interesting it would be.

If you could give me something concrete to show, I'd love to do one.

@Rob how about doing

@Rob how about doing something like a layout. I understand you don't slice things, neither do I sometimes. Slicing doesn't always work for me.

How about photoshop techniques?

How about basic techniques for the tool kit.

Here's some stuff I'd like to learn more about:

  • Masking
  • Alpha Channels
  • Distressed text
  • Basic file-format stuff

Any other things you do on a regular basis that might help a newbie out. A crash course in color theory (I could probably do that one.) Realistic lighting techniques. Making bevels and drop shadows interact in ways that don't scream FAKE!
