So I Have Photoshop...

[Holocast]

I managed to get Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.

Does anyone have any tutorials for it? It's the first time I'm using it and (obviously) it's nothing like GIMP 2.8 lol

So any advice/tutorials anyone has would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Ahh the great art of making tags in photoshop. I've always found that having a solid foundation in the program, and knowledge on how to use it for other things has a great impact on my tags as a general. This site has a GREAT selection of tutorials and things. It also has courses which are paid, I do have access to it via work so can help you with some added stuff if you so desire.
As for brushes I've always found brusheezy to be one of the best places for me
And as someone stated before me you can't really beat deviant art, it's full of people that have independently learned the program to, and have their own little tricks and things to do better.

A few of my favourites are:

On top of tutorials that give you a great foundation of the program. Don't feel like you can't just play around with the program and learn its functions. Find the options you would of used in GIMP and get used to them in Photoshop.

Yay free time!

Anyways; one of the best ways to learn things is to simply just play around. I think most of us on here who are "experienced" started off just messing around. To start off you reallllly should come familiar with what exactly the buttons do. For sig making you don't really need an extensive knowledge of the program since it does soooo much more than basic editing (which is what I personally classify sigs as in terms of function use) Since PS also can do 3D, Animations and so on and so forth.

I started off messing around with crazy brushes way back when.

Tutorials are nice when you A) kind of know what the features do since they often don't explain and assume you know what the button is and where it's located. B) Know exactly what type of effect you're trying to achieve.

We used to do live streams of one of our bests gfx artists on the site who would kind of show step by step how they created things and show new tricks and all. But alas they are not on the site anymore.

I'll compile a resource thread too that everyone can kind of contribute to as well.

There's a lot of tutorials buried in the forums; I'll try to go through and compile a list of a few personal favorites as well so things are more easier found since the consolidation/downsize of the art forums.

@blueangel06661 awesome! I look forward to your thread. ^^ Thank you!

I used to just find things I thought looked cool, and then looked for tutorials that showed how to do a similar effect or just struggled around in PS until I figured it out.
