A little advice for beginners of photoshop

1. Don't be confused. In fact, quite a number of photoshop books are repetitive and repetitive, but some application examples and explanations of different functions are basically the same. Don't buy too many books, or you will be thankless.

2. If you are a novice who just stepped into photoshop, I suggest that you don't buy learning books that try to explain all the functions of photoshop clearly. Such books usually give up all your interest in learning at a distance of 1/3. Even if you persist in studying until the end of your study and look back, you still can't come up with high-quality creative works to see other people's good works, and you will still be confused because you don't have a focus and don't deeply understand the essence of photoshop.

3. It is best for beginners to combine theory with real machine operation in the learning process. Don't practice, don't read too many theories, don't learn theories and don't read tutorials. Try to understand the role of photoshop in the example.

4. What kind of photoshop books should beginners buy? Although everyone has his own understanding, I don't think we can buy the above content.

You can't buy textbooks that give examples outside the book. Try to choose attractive application courses and books with corresponding classification functions. Beginners of photoshop should try to learn the essence of photoshop, such as layer channel masking. At present, it is better to combine these three functions, namely photoshop 6 image password or Photoshop 7 image interpretation. But the ideas in the same author's book are all around the three concepts of "layer channel selection (masking)". The difference is that the examples in Interpretation of photoshp 7 are more mature, although in two books,

One is about version 6.0 and the other is about the latest version 7.0, but the author's writing philosophy has not changed-that is, readers should pay more attention to the in-depth understanding and application of the three concepts of photoshop, instead of getting lost in the sea of photoshop commands from the beginning.

Of course, either you have finished learning the examples in the book introduced above, or you have become a master of photoshop. The most important thing to learn photoshop is to practice more, think more and extend the application of the functions you have learned.

6. When you understand the most important part of photoshop, you can begin to expand your study of other functions of photoshop. If you are determined to learn the reference book "Try to explain all the functions of photoshop clearly" mentioned in article 2 of phtoshop, you can buy one back. This is the time when such books can help you make progress. Remember that this kind of books is the most important, just to help you further understand other functions of photoshop. Just because you have learned it doesn't mean that you are a master of photoshop application.

7. Of course, some friends don't like to buy a "detailed functional explanation" book for boring study after getting started. At this time, you can start with the application tutorial of photoshop, and you can also learn about other functions of photoshop from the tutorial to enhance your interest in learning photoshop. At this point, I have to recommend a book, which is popular all over the world. This is my first time in China. It's quite a classic photoshop book. I believe some friends have guessed that this book is photoshop wow published in America! Book > What I appreciate most about this book is that it raises the application of photoshop to an artistic level.

8. In fact, no matter which book you buy to study, there are only two ultimate goals. One is to be able to skillfully use photoshp to create.

So photoshop learners should not think that learning photoshop is difficult or easy. Photoshop itself is a simple and profound software. A good guide book can pave the way for you to enter his palace, but the most important thing is to strengthen the cultivation of artistic quality after entering the world of Photoshop, analyze other people's good works and use Photoshop more. Try to create. When you see a weighty work, you have seen through the realization process of the work in your heart. I believe you have become a real master of photoshp.

9. Finally, I hope everyone will think more in the process of learning photoshop, and don't be confused by superficial things. The ultimate goal of learning photoshop is to freely apply the skills you have learned to yourself.

It's a little messy I hope it can help local scholars.
