6 Important Steps for Learning Photoshop
Most people want to do specialeffects withPhotoshop but like all tools
capable ofadvanced work, it pays to get the essential basics under your belt
first. Here is my recommendedlist of the 6 basic essentials any Photoshop
beginner should learn:
1. Learn the image analysis tools – The Histogram, The Eyedropper,
and The Info Palette
These three tools provide youwithessentialinformationabout your image or
photograph. The Histogram willtellyoueverythingyouneedto know about
the exposure ofthe photograph, whether it is under or over exposed, andthe
tonal range. The Eyedropper toolwillgive youvaluable informationabout the
colours inthe image; especially ifthere is a colour cast (acolour cast is an
undesirable overalldominant colour) youneedto correct. The Info palette (or
window) willprovide numericalfeedbackwhenusingthe eyedropper andalso
whenusing other tools. This is an important reference for advancedworkso is
worthgettingto know at the start.
2. Learn how to straighten a tilted image – Use the ruler to find the
angle of tilt
Learning to use the Ruler toolwill allow youto determine precisely the angle of
a tilted horizonand this canthen be used withthe Rotate canvas commandto
rapidly correctatiltedimage. No guessworkneeded! Withso many people
using cameras withonly viewingscreens at the backrather than a proper
viewfinder, it has becomealltoo common for pictures to come out ofthe
camerawitha severe tilt to them. Learningto use the ruler and rotate canvas
combinationmakes correctingthese pictures really easy!
3. Learn to crop the picture – Use the Crop tool
Croppingis the process ofremoving anythingfrom aroundthe edges of a
photo that does not add to the impact ofthe photo. The Crop toolshouldbe
learned next since croppingis avery important creative process. Thereare very
few photos that cannot benefit from beingcropped. Toomany Photoshop
beginners just accept the content ofthe photo as it came from the camera
without thinking about whether the picture canbe improvedvisually by cutting
away unnecessary edges. The additional benefit of croppingthe picture early is
that youalso reduce the file size whichmakes further changes to the image run
muchfaster since youare using less memoryanddisk space.
4. Learn to remove dust marks and blemishes – Use the Healing
Brush and the Clone Stamp tools
Evenwith modernsensor cleaningbuilt-in, youmay find your image contains
dust marks or other blemishes. These willoftenbe seeninareas of smooth
tone suchas a clear sky. These should be removedusingthe Healing Brush
tool, especially usefulon smoothcolour andtones like skies, and the Clone
Stamp tool. The Clone Stamp toolis essentialfor removingor correctingareas
of detail whichthe Healing Brush toolquite oftenjust messes up. Get agrip on
these two important tools quickly so youcanreally clean up your important
images.
5. Learn to correct the tonal values – Use the Levels command
The next logical step is to correctany exposureproblems or tonalrange issues.
If the picture is too dark or light now is the time to correct it. To do tonal
corrections youneedto learnto use the Levels command. The levels command
uses a histogram to show the tones so your previous learningfrom Step 1
above will really help younow. I toldyouit was a logical learning sequence!
6. Learn to remove colour casts – Use the Colour Balance command
Althoughmoderncameras make areasonable job ofinterpretingthe colour of
light reaching the sensor, they also oftenget it wrongwhichresults in a photo
withan obvious dominant colour. This is knownas a colour cast and needs to
be removedusingthe Colour Balance command. Once adominant colour has
beencorrectedyouare ready to make more creative colourenhancements if
desired.
There youhave the six most important things for a Photoshop beginner to
learn. Eachof these steps canbe mastered quite quickly andthe knowledge
gained will provide a solid foundation for all your future Photoshop work;
whether youjust want to improve afamily snap or produce anadvanced
specialeffects workofart.
