Nice site. I have learned a lot. I’m just a beginner at photoshop. I’m not much of a photographer, but I’m doing 3d renderings and I thought photoshop would help me a great deal in my line of work. I’m really thankful for sites like these.

I had to put this out there. I really feel like this tutorial combined with a few others I read on this website spared me a whole 10 week photoshop class. I have always been resistant to PS. I felt like the shots had to be good straight out of the box and PS was a bit of a cheat. Recently I came to understand why this way of thinking was fundamentally wrong (I won’t extrapolate on it here, but basically it’s got a lot to do with moving forward with progress). Being very much self-taught, I also had a bit of a problem with PS, since it is not that easy to start from scratch with a program like that. Well, your tutorial was just what I needed to get me started playing around with the program. It’s clear, easy to understand, complete, and short. Props! I’ll read, and try every single one of your tutorials. Am looking forward to more!

It’s funny how much difference a little bit of levels can make in the contrast of a shot. By far my favorite way to boost contrast.

your site is one of the coolest sites i’ve ever encountered. really a big help to hobbyists like me. hope you could include more photo effects like dragan, mann, greenberg effects to name a few. but as it is, it’s already helping a great deal in my hobby. thanks a lot!

Such a good teacher you are! For the first time I actually understand levels and hue/saturation. Thanks much.

As a PS newbie I was greatly impressed with your tut style. Thanx.

CHRISTOPHER, Absolutely. Photoshop is no substitute for proper technique while photographing. Although it can help rescue a botched shot in many ways, you’ll always be better off if you’ve actually “gotten” the shot to begin with.
