Learn Photoshop Now - Photoshop tutorials for digital photographers

I just got back from an awesome vacation that I sent myself on from my earnings with the Easy Photo Biz thing that I recommended a while back.

The story goes like this:

I originally signed up for this Easy Photo Biz deal thinking that it was like a lot of internet things - too good to be true - but I think that I've managed to prove myself wrong. haha.

Over the past 6 months I've stacked away all the cheese that I've earned doing this gig part time and it just paid for a 10 day trip to South America... That's what I'M talking about!

In case you're wondering what I'm talking about, you can read more about it here: Easy Photo Biz.

Anyhow, that's not the reason I'm posting....
=============================================

The reason for my post is this:
While I was away, one of my subscribers emailed me and asked about my workflow. More specifically, what programs I used and why.

So, I shot him (thanks Dennis) back some reading material, essentially an email that was a book about why I use a combination of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom.

For those of you not in the know, Photoshop has been around for ages now and seems to be what I would consider an industry standard. Most pros that I know use Photoshop or Lightroom, and if you're serious about being a pro this is a brand that you'll have to get used to hearing about.

With that said, Dennis asked me if I knew anywhere that he could get some more info on Photoshop. Well, not wanting to be one of those guys that says "Google it" I went ahead and looked up a few courses that he could use.

I thought that you might find them helpful as well.

The first one is called Learn Photoshop Now and is one of the most comprehensive Photoshop courses/blogs/tutorial sites that I've ever found.

Sign up and you'll get a few tutorials, some freebies, and a whole bunch of information that will have you more proficient in Photoshop than 95% of the people out there.



The second one is called EditYourDigitalPhotos.com and it's just as good as the Learn Photoshop Now, only it's a little more advanced, and focuses specifically on editing photos.

Both are GREAT resources for ANY photographer, so check them out if you're serious about making photography your full time gig... because post processing is one of the requirements of the job ;)
