Wow, that’s a lot of good stuff to dig through!
Thanks Andrew - I’ll be sure to get some articles from MIB in parts 2 and 3
Great article! Cover’s (almost) everything.
Thanks - but what else would you recommend adding?
Comprehensive! Why did you add the tutorials you did (at the end), though? Out of curiosity. Seems like a random selection.
@Daniel - The idea is to get new PS users to start to utilize the skills they learned in the previous articles - how to use the tools of the software. It is a random selection in the hopes that it lets people experiment with a lot of the various functions of PS
Hey! Great list and really appreciated mentioning one of my articles too! You have done excellent work here! *thumbs up
It takes more than just tricks and tips to “master” PS, but great resource anyhow.
Nice list you have here, I especially enjoyed the videos on extracting the backgrounds in PS. Thanks!
Wow! Thanks for the awesome tutorial! I still think photoshop takes time and practice to master.
Amazing! its easy to learn whit that, ill use for newbies
, thanks!
damn.. this is kickass, i just got done downloading photoshop and i cant wait to start.
These are really useful tips to learn Photoshop.
U r site is really col and will be helpful for me in my projexts so i though i would add ur site as my blogroll .Keep it going
Thanks for so much good info.

yezek
Great stuff!
Hi,
This is a great list you’ve compiled here. I teach a 5 hour intensive crash course to people new to the program, and some of the links here have some great diagrams and suggestions I’ll start using. Thanks so much for including me as link #3. I’m honored.
-Jeremy
cool tips , thanks
Nice writeup! I’ve been using Photoshop for about a year now, and still hadn’t really figured out that whole pen thing…thanks to this, I’ve got a pretty good idea of how and what I can do with it.
Thanks!
Wow man! Nice work. Going to have to spend a few more minutes going through these. I thought I knew a thing or two about Ps. After reading this…I’m humbled. Well done!
this rocks. thanks!
Sick!!!!!!!!! been needing something like this to learn PS fast!!! went through part one in a day!! Learned a lot so fast now onto part 2…
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Nice blog. Thanx.
This is great. If you have anything like this for Dreamweaver, please put it up.
Thanks so much.
oh merci, im really like it
thx
I know photoshop quite well but cannot say myself as master of it. Will look to your tuts, thanks
Master it? I’ve been using it for daily 10 years–prepress at commercial printers, design in advertising agencies, creative, photo restoration and retouching–and I still haven’t *mastered* it. There’s no way you will become anything more than familiar with it in a week. Sorry.
Appreciate familiarizing me with the photoshop interface
Nice i founded this :))
Just started with PS so this will come quite handy :))
Thank you so much.
Thanks very much.
lots of great tutorials
Great! Thanks
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Now switching from Fireworks to Photoshop!
thanks! I learned a few things I didn’t know
slick. quite a comprehensive page here. will take time to digest. :O
Wow your blog has definitely grown considerably since the last time I was here. You are offering some really awesome resources.
Wow - You have some absolutely fabulous tuts and resources! I’m going to send my niece here! She’s just starting to study for a graphics art major and needs to get a handle on Photoshop - this is perfect! Thanks for all your hard work!
thanks!
Fantastic!
Maybe you could have included a mac keyboard shortcut thing as well?
I think the title how-to-master-photoshop-in-just-one-week is wrong, it is impossible to learn all the attributes and things you can do with Photoshop, its used for more than photo manipulation, I have been using it for 5 years, I know I am good, if I try, but I am always looking for new things to do, and inspirations,
Although this is really good info though
Stumbled ^^
a friend was asking me if knew any good courses on PS - seems you’ve everything a beginner needs here free!
