I thought I would put this thread here as it would get more attention.

Can anyone direct me to a site/online book for photoshop beginners? I want to get into it, but i dont know where to start

So please, point me in the right direction Smile

I think this has great tutorials by PS master Monroy:

http://revision3.com/pixelperfect/page/all/#episodes

Maybe not that much for beginners beginners, but I think it can aspire everyone and give great new ideas on how to take problems and solve them creatively.

Try getting some Lynda.com tutorials if you want to actually cover photoshop as a whole. they have tutorials for all levels and purposes. Very Happy

P.s with the recent interest in web design in here maybe a "design showcase" thread is due?

Cheers! I learned quite a lot tricks from Monroy, and not only for PS. I usually prefer to use Pain.NET, so the tutorials were great for that too.

its taken me 5 years to get to the 'elite' level of photoshop, as you know Syco. If you need any tips or pointers in either web design or digital painting, hit me up on msn Wink

That goes for anyone else, only, hit me on PM box Smile (on here of course )

Its such a complex program but is easy to get good. Mixing up the techniques is the hard part Wink
