My girlfriend's Dad has just given me Photoshop CS2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've only ever used 5.0 which is now very very old, I was hoping someone could link me or provide me with a very good guide on the basics and techniques.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know I can just google seach it, But there are uncommon guides out there that are maybe better than the rest, That not many people have heard of yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many thanks.

Two very good sites, from beginner to pro.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good tutorials has a section about basic stuff, which would be helpful.

 

 

 

I haven't been on tutorialized in ages though.

If I need a tutorial I go to Pixel2life.com. Has everything you need, very quick and easy to use the site.

Thanks to both of you, I've started messing around with some images.

If you need help, just add me on Msn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PM me for my address.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Deviantart is your friend with these ones.

Thanks all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another question: How do I download and use brushes from Deviantart?

Ive allready answered this question, at the well known topic :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(If you want to download a brushes set, click 'Download' and make sure you have a separated map for those)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to use them:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make a new canvas, and click your brushes. You see the basic brushes that allready were there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click the last brush in the list,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then click that triangle at the right of the brush panel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You see alot of options, but you choose 'Load Brushes'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Search for the document with the .abr file, and click on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This way your brushes are loaded, and ready to use

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For other questions, please post them at that topic.

Sorry about that, I've hinted in the stickied topic, Can you lock this then please? Then I won't be tempted to ask another question here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

Ok, done :)
