FREE Adobe Photoshop Help
Okay, I admit that I have been caught falling asleep while viewing my best friends vacation photos; while I knew she had a great time, the photos simply weren't capturing my interest. If she had only taken the time to learn how Adobe Photoshop could have taken her so-so photos and turned them into something that would have definitely kept my attention. She could have taken those ordinary photos and turned them into something extraordinary using the tools provided in Photoshop.
Although Adobe Photoshop can be hard to master especially if you are not familiar with photo editing software, you will see that in time, you will be able to become comfortable using it. In the meantime, there are fun tools in Adobe Photoshop that will be able to help you learn the basics on how to edit photos.
While Photoshop is chock full of tools I want to go over only a few of the most often used ones to give you an idea of exactly how powerful this program is.
Ever wonder why all the professional models look so great? Photoshop comes with warping tools that allow you to manipulate your photos and, once it is mastered, allows you to add or subtract weight from your subjects, among other things. If you want 12-pack abs but don't want to go to the gym all you need to do is figure out this amazing tool and you will fool even your mother.
Another great tool that will make your friends happy is the smudge tool. Do people complain about your zoom shots? Close up shots are always a nightmare as every facial flaw is intensified yet with the smudge tool every imperfection is easily "airbrushed" away. Now everyone will look as if they walked off the pages of a magazine.
Wouldn't it be great to have a photo of you in front of the Eiffel Tower? Don't save up for the plane ticket, simply use Photoshops lasso tool. The lasso tool allows you to select a particular part of the picture, you for instance, and then remove it. Next you simply paste the object, yourself, on another background, such as behind the Eiffel Tower in France.
Wish to turn your photograph into a watercolor? All you need to do is use Photoshops built in filters and your photo instantly turns into whichever you choose. A few of the options include watercolor, charcoal drawing, sketch, etc.
Easily insert text or captions onto your photos using the text tool. Now you will never forget who was standing next to you during your college graduation or retirement party. Recently divorced but don't want to toss your photos out the window? Easily remove unwanted objects and you will be able to keep all the photos, minus the unwanted objects or individuals.
These are only a small portion of the amazing things that you can do with Adobe Photoshop. Once you master the basics and delve deeper into the program you will see that I have only scratched the surface of this powerful program. Take your time and find out how you can turn your ordinary photographs into extraordinary works of art.
