Photoshop User Club House

ex_reven · Mar 25, 2007, 08:12 AM

This club is for ANYONE who uses, is interested in using or is curious about Adobe Photoshop.
Obviously There are a large number of versions of Photoshop out there, but all of them retain similarities, particularly Photoshop editions 6-10.

If you have any questions, would like to join, or would like to learn more about Photoshop:
ASK HERE

But first, what is Photoshop???

Quote:

Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop, is a graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation, and, aside from Adobe Acrobat, is the best-known piece of software produced by Adobe Systems. It is considered the industry standard in most jobs related to the use of visual elements.

Photoshop is available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Mac OS; versions up to Photoshop 9.0 can also be used with other operating systems such as Linux using software such as CrossOver.

And as for sigs, probably the same amount...

Edit - I''ll make a Photoshop of you and other members names of the club sometime later.

BXtreme · Mar 25, 2007, 09:43 AM

Hmm, you do change a 'lot'

, downloading CS2 again

.
It happened to my whole week, when I install Vista I get perf. degrades, then go back to 2k3 or XP x64. Then again when I need to do something in Vista, have to install it :sigh:.
Btw, is CS3 STILL in beta ?

ex_reven · Mar 25, 2007, 09:45 AM

Hmm ive heard that it was coming out soon. So I dont think its in beta any longer.
I dont know if its going to be much of a change over CS2...not for the stuff we do anyway.

Quote:

BetaNews reports on an analyst with Merrill Lynch who says that Adobe will likely introduce Creative Suite 3 around March 27, with a ship date that would follow shortly afterwards. If true, a release may coincide with a Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard release on March 24.

The release of CS3 has been long awaited as the last major software suite for designers to support the native Intel Macintosh computers. Piper Jaffray senior analyst Gene Munster, feels that Adobe's Photoshop CS3 release will have a 'sizable' impact on Mac Pro sales.

ex_reven · Mar 25, 2007, 09:48 AM

lol i doubt it will be available for quite a few weeks.

oily_17 · Mar 25, 2007, 10:41 AM

An excellent idea for a club.

I dont have Photoshop, but always wanted to learn how to use it.My brother has CS,I think,maybe I could get a copy::cough cough::...mmm

Did you teach yourself or do you know any good online tutorials ?There are loads I'm sure but if you know any off hand,it would save alot of nOOb questions on my part 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.

oily_17 · Mar 25, 2007, 10:51 AM

A quick search and there are loads LOL

Will have to get onto bro and see what he has.Agree with the well planned photos though,a good idea!!
