Hi guys,

I’ve collected some excellent videos on how to get started with photoshop. These videos cover everything a photoshop beginner needs to know to get chopping!

 
The videos will explain the layout, layers, the most important tools and much much more! Special thanks goes out to Howard from Iceflowstudios, who created most of these excellent tutorials for our website and explains Photoshop tricks in a way that everyone can understand.

 
Most tutorials presented here were created with Photoshop CS3, but since we will cover basic stuff only, everything covered here will also apply to photoshop CS2, CS and even Photoshop 7.

 
Soooooo… Let’s get started with some videos! First things first… The layout. If you have never used photoshop before, don’t skip these. After explaining the layout and the tools we will talk about each tool seperately.
