How to teach yourself photoshop Zhihu: First of all, it should be clear that photoshop is a tool. As a medium of expression, it is not that difficult to learn. Just like a pen for writing and chopsticks for eating, it is not difficult to hold chopsticks with a pen. As for some people who can use pens as weapons and chopsticks to kill people, that is another story.

1. Find out the direction and see if you must use Ps. Sometimes simple entry-level software, such as light and shadow magician and instagram, can also meet the demand well. Or a quasi-professional but friendlier lightroom. It is not that the more advanced the tools, the better. Photoshop is very powerful, but it is also very inhuman. Why kill a chicken with a knife?

PS can do a lot of things, and the relevant knowledge is vast. In fact, you don't have to use a so-called encyclopedia to learn everything, just learn what you need in a targeted way. Do you want to learn painting, photo color matching, image synthesis (advertising, posters), GUI/ web design, or just play around and change your face, find the right direction and then find relevant books and tutorials to learn. You have to learn web design and in-depth analysis of laboratory channels, which is obviously the opposite.

2. To master the basic operation of software, you must learn to hold a pen before writing. You can start with the help document (the fundamental way to learn all software) and Lynda's video tutorial, and don't forget adobe's official website. Li Tao, a domestic video tutorial, is not bad, but many other amateurs don't recommend it at all. You can also read books, giving priority to the original, and don't read the domestic version if there is a translation.

3. After mastering the basic principles and operations, you can follow the tutorial, read more examples and refer to PSD source files. In this process, you will be proficient in skills, more hands-on operation, and more familiar with shortcut keys. In the process of learning, don't stick to the parameters, pay attention to the purpose, think more about the ideas of the tutorial, think about why the author did it, what effect the author did it for, and whether it is possible to change the method.

Learn critically and draw inferences from others, so as to deepen the understanding of photoshop and make it better express its intention. I still suggest giving priority to English courses and Chinese courses, many of which are just translations. If the author wrote it himself, alas.

I have some related RSS feeds here. You can subscribe to them in GoogleReader as needed.

As far as a single website is concerned, I haven't paid attention to it for a long time recently. You can track it in the feed above. Domestic websites are cool and UI classes are good. From these websites, I can find many things.

4. lay a solid foundation. The difference between a novice and an expert is not how many skills he has mastered, but how many goods he has in his stomach for him to play with. Photoshop is just a tool, just like a pen for drawing, mastering it skillfully is one thing, and how to express its connotation with it is the key.

According to my own study direction, I will learn about art history, the evolution and development of design concepts, photography, painting skills, digital pictures such as RGB, CMYK, LAB, channel calculation, filters, mixed modes and so on. All these require a lot of time for professional accumulation. In addition to these, of course, there is your life experience. Otherwise, just reading the tutorial will always follow suit, and people will follow suit.

Xiqiao once gave a designer a book list. I recommend it:

5. Others

If the connotation is enough, it is possible to accumulate thick hair. Take photoshop as a tool, forget about skills and integrate skills into your own creation, just as McLuhan said, "Media is an extension of people." When using photoshop as a medium, it can really become an extension of human body, just like using left and right hands. This is the real master.

As for the accumulation of knowledge and experience, or the proficiency in the use of tools, it is often difficult to say clearly. Because many times they appear at the same time, and even pretend to exist with each other. Do you think Renoir's oil paintings are more skillful or thoughtful?

To paraphrase a sentence in Wen Xin Diao Long, "People's water quality is weak and knotted, the wood body is solid and the calyx vibrates, and the text is attached to the body." . Tiger and leopard have no text, then a dog and sheep; Rhinoceros has skin, but the color is Dan lacquer, and the quality remains to be seen. "What is light and what is heavy?" .

PS: You can find a lot of paid materials and materials in the gray area of verycd in China. Needless to say, BTDigg and Pirate Bay abroad. Remember, people who can read English should try not to read Chinese.

That's about it. Add it when you think of it.
