I highly recommend Lynda.com for photoshop training and other digital photography related subjects. Deke McClellend is arguably one of the best teachers in his One-on-One series.

I like videos for learning Photoshop, because you can see both how to do something, and the result of doing it. You can also play videos over and over until you understand the concept.

I learned most of what I know about Photoshop from Mark Johnson's Photoshop Workbench videos. He publishes a new one each Thursday on his website.

Mark's early Photoshop Workbench videos covered basic Photoshop editing very thoroughly, and they are the ones that I feel are the most helpful for beginners. Mark sells a DVD that contains the first 200 episodes of Photoshop Workbench. I think buying Mark's DVD would be an easier and less expensive way to learn Photoshop than trying to learn from books, and the series is also more comprehensive than any other site I have found.

In addition, Mark also sells another DVD with episodes 201 to 250 of his Photoshop Workbench series. However, his later Photoshop Workbench videos deal more with ways to achieve effects rather than pure photo editing. These are of less interest to me because I'm not into effects. However, I still watch them because I sometimes learn little Photoshop tips that are helpful.


I concur, I have the DVD and it's well worth the money if you like his techniques.

Try this as a starting point

Cambridge in Colour is a very useful resource too.

Don't Let Curves control your color:

When applying a Curve adjustment you may notice it alters your color a touch as well, and you only really want the contrast change. Simply change the layer type to Luminosity and all color shifts will disappear.

Straighten your image:

To quickly straighten and crop a crooked image, drag with the ruler tool (under the eyedropper) along an edge of an object in your image, then click Straighten button in the options bar.
To straighten w/o cropping, use Option-click (PC: Alt-Click) the Straighten button instead.
