These Adobe Photoshop tutorials are quite different from the majority of other tutorials that are available, the focus of the training is on production essentials rather than just imaging techniques, the author spends considerable time explaining about Gamma, Color Depth, Scanning Resolution and other essential topics that most other training courses just skip through, making it ideal for web masters, photographers and graphical artists. Once the production and color essentials have been mastered the tutorial proceeds with practical training appertaining to studio techniques and image manipulation, at over 12 hours in duration this Photoshop course is comprehensive and the content is suitable for all versions of Adobe Photoshop.
