Faster Learning for Photoshop Users with This Unique System

The beginner can be using Photoshop to work on real-world tasks almost immediately from opening this book. The author says this is possible because of his unique learning system and the structure offered within the manual, with all the tutorials being small tasks clearly explained and illustrated. Users can progress to an advanced level of Photoshop skills and use the book as a reference manual.

May 20, 2008 --  (PRWEB)  -- Photoshop is the market leader in the field of computer image manipulation for photographs and graphics. The problem is that Adobe Photoshop is such a massive program that beginners can easily be overwhelmed by all its features and by poor explanations, making learning Photoshop a strain. The 'Photoshop In A Day' manual is designed to overcome these issues.

'Photoshop In A Day' is written by Duncan Wherrett, a studio and stock photographer with many years' Photoshop experience. He claims that with 'Photoshop In A Day', the beginner can be doing specific tasks in Photoshop within 15 minutes. This is possible because of the new learning system and structure used with this manual, which comes as an e-book in PDF format.

Very often, beginners don't know where to start while many people use the program for years and never get the best out of it. Another problem is that most manuals are far from user-friendly.

Duncan Wherrett maintains that when a beginner is presented with too much information at once, the result is confusion, frustration and discouragement. Instead, it is far better to read about and understand new items on an individual basis and apply them one at a time.

The tutorials in 'Photoshop In A Day' approach the learning process in a completely new way from existing manuals. Exercises start with some basic Photoshop tools working on simple projects which are completed in a few steps.

New information and techniques are fed in gradually as required while working on photographs, according to Duncan Wherrett at http://www.photoshopinaday.com. This means that not everything imaginable about a topic will not be crammed into one tutorial; more information will come along later as required.

For example, the new user needs to learn early on how to choose a brush, along with changing its size and hardness. All the many variations of brush settings and how to make custom brushes will not be required until much later. Having everything about brushes together early on in one chapter will only swamp and confuse the beginner with too much information.

The first part of the manual covers the basics and the second part goes beyond the basics where intermediate and advanced users will find new techniques and information. The seasoned photographic or graphic arts professional can quickly find solutions to complex creative problems through the intuitive keyword search programme.

The manual is supported by more than 180 sample images, specially chosen to be used for practice with the tutorials.  Some topics in Photoshop are complicated and some are rarely used. In such cases, 'Photoshop In A Day' remains a handy reference manual for future use.
