Is ps easy to learn?

That depends on whether you can find the right teacher!

First of all, write it in front.

Photoshop is extremely powerful and widely used. If you only learn in general, even if you know or understand all the functional commands of PS, it is impossible to use them in practical work.

A master who is really proficient in Photoshop must be a friend who is proficient in the industry and is good at different functional sectors of PS. A master who focuses on drawing illustrations with PS will be very good at using brush tools; A master who focuses on using Photoshop for post photography will have his own unique views on the use of color matching commands.

Second, to master PS, we must first specialize!

Therefore, to master Photoshop, you have to know what you want to do in PS. Is it used for post photography or creative synthesis, or for CG painting, graphic design and web design?

The above mentioned the common application fields of Photoshop from a big perspective. In different fields, PS needs to master different function points. But it is the accumulation and superposition of such a skill point that makes a Photoshop master.

Third, Photoshop is a tool knife.

PS is like a butcher's butcher's knife, a meat cutter of a stevedore, and a flying knife of Xiao Li of Li Xunhuan. A master who is really proficient in PS does not mean that he can draw beautiful illustrations, repair perfect photos or make creative poster designs by learning PS software, but that he can use PS as a tool to describe what he thinks, which reflects his accumulation of professional knowledge for many years. Without the support of painting foundation and design composition theory, it is difficult to achieve perfection.

Fourth, it is as important as learning PS, and deeply study the relevant knowledge and theory of the industry!

Recognize your own position and the professional requirements of your industry, go deep into the professional knowledge in the industry, learn the way of thinking, improve the software operation technology and your thinking creativity simultaneously, and make good use of Photoshop as a tool to bring value to enterprise production, thus becoming a real master.
