Photoshop User Club House

[beyond_amusia]

CS3 Extended actually... (shhhh) Although I have not played much with the 3D graphics part of it yet, I love Photoshop; been using it for 2 years (CS2 first) and I would gladly buy it if I could ever afford to drop $900 on a DVD in a box.

you can also get it somewhere else, just use google and your head so says Jack.

well it's a photoshop club, where ppl with photoshop, use photoshop, to photo edit, or create their own creations and eventually post them here. It was started by 'some1' usernamed ex_reven, and hez prolly not alive at the moment (he shove some grenades into him). So, this place got deserted, the rest of the active members here also got pwnd (prolly by a h4x0r) and are temporarily dead. If any1 wanna show any interest in this club i.e to start this club once again...then just fire up photoshop again and start creating! ^ Well thats basically what the club was about lol...

Alot of it is self taught, as is typical with lots of photoshop users.
There are too many tutorial sites to mention, but they help develop your skills.

If your ever in need google does wonders for tutorials. But the best thing is not to look for them, its good just to look through a tutorial site and see whats available and check out whatever you fancy. As its alot easier to learn when your doing something you enjoy.

But play around a bit with the program first, the help file gives you the basics. Learn all the tools first, and id also advise you to fool around with "image" and "layer" adjustments, which are found on the toolbar with "File, edit" and all those sorts of buttons.

Another thing to know is that if your photoshopping from your own pictures, a good well planned photo is alot better than a tonne of random 'hopeful' snapshots. If you compose your image well its alot easier to edit later.

I agree with this. As I had CS2 loaded up twice and gave up, but had someone come on teamspeak just to start me off from the beginning. Photoshop is all about practice but if there is anyone here who would like help just to start of contact me on msn and maybe get you on my my game squads Teamspeak and I could start you off. Theres nothing better than having my favourite drink Cane and Coke listening to some old rock music in the back ground and using CS3.

I can be available most day's if you need any help

If I maybe so bold as to say if the origanal guy is no longer doing this I'm willing to stick my neck out to help start it off again.

er...it's more advanced ?!? i dunno, and don't care atleast it does the task

 

[Kovoet]

I would say it's friendlier for an experienced person on CS3, but not for someone new. Also there is a lot of plugins and resets for CS3 as well as CS2

 

[Firebeast]

I thinks its because PS CS3 has soo much more functions but could be wrong, never used Elements...

lemme see, since the day photoshop was v6.0, then i quit for sometime...then regain my edge again when CS2 came...and now i got hold of CS3, making some avatars *cough* for personal use lol

 

[Kovoet]

I've been using it now for about two years but on a daily basis and when not using it I'm playing computer games on Joint Operations or COD4. Sometimes upgrading PC's or building them for friends

 

[EastCoasthandle]

gotcha. Maybe I am use to Elements

 

[Firebeast]
