Has anybody had any experience with this, is it any good and worth using.

Starting to get into graphic design, (hopfully), and just wondering what tutorials, heard Lynda are good.

best thing to do is join a forum which specialises in photoshop. But if your looking to get into 'graphic' design you want to learn illustrator. Great designer who uses it for web stuff as well is

HERE

Illustrator is overlooked alot by the online community but if someone wants you to create a logo for their business, it's usually easier to create EPS as you can print big with it or keep it small for the web, resolution isn't an issue!

Illustrator is good and overlooked. A lot of art directors who do print ads use it just as much as photoshop.

An extensive tutorial for Photoshop. From basic to pro...

I haven't tried these yet, but apparently these are good too (and free)

Also Bittbox is a cool place to be when you want freebees for Photoshop and Illustrator..

Try this for a video-tutor...

So, don't pay for tutorials when the best ones are free..

Don't worry, wouldn't dream of it

This actually looks pretty good, but obviously cant be 100% sure without watching the thing.

Getting it in a day i think, ill keep you updated on it

Photoshop top secret is not good if you want to start from the beginning, it is some extra tips and tricks for those who are familiar with photoshop and some of them are advanced, if you want to start i suggest lynda and totaltraining

[unitedcraig]

o , not good that lol.

Have you used them, or heard what people have said?

[marSoul]

its very good package, i see one of its tutorials, but as i said you need to know the tools and photoshop basics to use it, keep this one for later, it will help you so much, but first start from beginning and then if you want to complete your skills use it...
but i dont know what you want to use of photoshop ? web, print, 3d,...

[unitedcraig]

I will do that i think then, il look into the lynda tutorials, see how they are.

and mainly for web and print, 3D sounds good though but just want to learn it as it can be used in so many applications, but for the moment i think that i will mainly be doing it for web and print, and retouching photos, not sure what that is classed as.

[marSoul]

ok, i prefer totaltraining essentials, but if u like lynda try it thay have essentials too...
then move to the advanced series then you can try tips and tricks like photoshop secrets and tutorials from other sites, that will help you so much...

[unitedcraig]

Thanks for the advice


I'll keep you all updated

[josh08]

i think that's for the professional designer..

This will be more than enough for a begineer user.

Totorial from Lynda.com by Deke McClelland:

1. Photoshop CS3 One on One The Essentials [Part 1]
2. Photoshop CS3 One on One Beyond the Basics [Part 2]
3. Photoshop CS3 One on One Advanced Techniques [Part 3- Final]
