Hello Photoshop fans,
Some time ago I was offered Photoshop 7.0. for my birthday. Unfortunately I have had very little time to study all the features until now. I realize it is a very powerful tool, and I am ashamed that I know so little on how to use it. I have a scanner and a digital camera and I use Photoshop to capture and process my pictures.
My knowledge is currently limited to importing a picture from the scanner and the camera, extracting a rectangle from the original, resizing the picture and saving it in various formats with various grades of quality. I have no clue what "layers", "channels" and "paths" are.
I would like to improve this knowledge a little and I am looking for a web site or a tutorial with the basics. I really need on ly the basics, because I will have no time to understand all the details. I am not a prodesional and don’t intend to become one.
Any advice on a good basic site/tutorial?
One of the reasons why I feel the need for more Photoshop knowledge is that I want to replace some objects with a color existing somewhere in the picture background (ground, sky, furniture…) For example I would like to replace a crane in the landscape by the sky colour, or to remove a person from a picture.
I though I would intuitively find the options (I am used to computers and various applications) but I couldn’t find out this one. Any advice where I can get this kind of information?
Thanks.
Jean
