Photoshop CS2 Tutorials


The best way to learn how to draw is to have an example and copy it.  This method will teach you what tools to use and how to use them to re-create a similar looking drawing.  Photoshop is the same.  By looking at Photoshop tutorials, you can explore all the different possibilities that the program has to offer.  By following the directions in the tutorials, you are learning what tools to use and how to use them to get similar effects of the presented image or technique.  Once you learn these aspects of the program, you can take it and put it to use in your own work.

Assignment:
  1. Search online through various Photoshop tutorials.  Choose a minimum of 3 that interest you and bookmark these pages.  Be sure that the ones you choose can be completed in CS2.
  2. Then choose a minimum of one of those tutorials to try on your own.  Go through the motions to either recreate the tutorial image or use the instructions to apply it to your own composition. 
  3. On your blog you will be asked to create a post with links to your chosen tutorials with explanations as to what they are and provide your created image to the appropriate link as a sample.
