Photoshop isn’t just for professionals. With the price of Lightroom and Photoshop yearly subscription almost anyone take advantage of the powerful tools offered by Photoshop. You can use to edit your cell phone pics, your point-in-shoot pictures or clean up vintage photos. Today, I wanted to share some tutorials on how to get started with Photoshop. Call it an Introduction to Photoshop. At some point this article will be cross posted to my personal site.

Over the years Evolutionary Designs offered a monthly best of series but with lack of monthly tutorials and the time it takes to create those articles are no longer being offered. In the past few months we thought about bringing it back and at this point we are looking at our options to do so.

Getting Started with Photoshop CC

Getting Started with Photoshop is easy. Adobe does offer a 7-day trial, monthly, and yearly subscription options. With the subscription options you will always have the latest and greatest versions of the app and you don’t have to worry about dropping thousands of dollars a year on the latest version.

If you are first starting out with image editing, I would start with the 7-day trial and then sign up for a monthly account from Adobe.com. Once you are ready move forward, I would purchase a yearly subscription from Amazon, Best Buy, or other electronics stores.

For me I find that using Photoshop Coursework Books to be one of the easiest ways to learn Photoshop. When you aren’t online books can be used to follow along as you follow the tutorials and you can always sit down and read the books when away from the computer. Here’s few books that I have read and used over the years. These books are normally updated yearly or when a major update version of Photoshop is released.
