10 Must-See Photoshop Video Tutorials
Gone are the days when you needed to read a tutorial article in order to learn a new Photoshop trick. So for you out there who hate reading… (most designers do), welcome to the world of video tutorials. One of the advantages of video tutorials is that they allow us to observe how experts for example make a collage step by step just as if we are inside a classroom. That sounds a lot easier than reading a book and following each and every step described in the tutorial.
There are a lot of Photoshop video tutorials out there but not all are of best quality video. You can find tons of Photoshop video tutorials from Youtube, Metacafe and Photoshopusertv. Or, why not learn the tricks from the Photoshop creator itself? Adobe actually has video tutorials called Adobe Video Workshop that are categorized based on your skill level. So why not start downloading some Photoshop video tutorials and save it in your ipod or cellphones so that next time you find yourself stuck in traffic, you have something productive to do.
