If you are new to Photoshop or for whatever reasons you want to go back to the basics, then you have found the right post. David Leggett, the founder of Tutorial9.net, has written an excellent guide for Photoshop beginners. The guide covers from “Getting Started in Photoshop” to Photoshop basics which includes working with layers, tools, and etc.
I found this this guide really useful because as a starting designer I need to learn the basics and fundamentals of Photoshop. Not only Photoshop but other programs as well. The fundamentals are very essential for Photoshop users, especially for those who are just getting started with the program. You start of with the basics, you familiarized the programs, then you become advanced. So I hope this post was helpful to you.
