Dear Photoshop user & aspiring creative
professional,
Do you really have a good idea of what
you want to do with Photoshop? Are you aware that you can take
it further beyond what you ever imagined?
Photoshop can be your greatest
creative ally and NOT your enemy.
Yes, you CAN achieve a masterful
proficiency and level of creative professionalism with Photoshop
CS/CS2. It's going to take some work on your part but with the
right resources (there are lots of them vying for your attention)
you can apply yourself in the fastest way straight towards daily
achieving your goals in graphics, desktop publishing and digital
imaging.
You will have to know clearly what
Photoshop means to you, what you want out of it, and which resources
can save you time and money to help you get to your goals but the
rewards will be worth it and you know it.
You don't have to be frustrated with
Photoshop or let your own lack of proficiency hold your
creativity (and ability to produce) back anymore.
Photoshop is a heavy & serious piece of software but if you can
learn to harness it's power and apply your creativity and
newfound knowledge through it, you will be
able to not only increase your marketability but possibly earn a
livable
income as well.
You can also achieve a tremendous sense
of satisfaction in your work which you can share with others.
When you achieve Photoshop proficiency, you will be able to
continually realize your creative professional potential in the visual
graphics
realm as well as reaching your specific imaging goals.
The creative and professional reward aspects of learning Photoshop
can pay off for a lifetime. And learning Photoshop doesn't
have to be expensive or painful in order to achieve your desires.
If your goal is to become a creative professional, then full
Photoshop
CS/CS2 proficiency training is a must. Maybe you just want to
be able to USE Photoshop at the level that the creative
professionals do to get your work done more efficiently.
Check and
see if ANY of these areas interest you and think about 'why'
it might be worth your time to gain a complete Photoshop CS/CS2
proficiency. Think about your goals and if they line up with some of
these options.
You can Learn Photoshop
to:
*Create professional, beautiful graphic works
*Meeting and exceeding certain job requirements/Job skills
*Achieve your image editing & graphics goals
*Enhance your marketability
*Grow your ability to effectively express yourself creatively
*Be the go-to photo expert for your family & friends
*Enhance your portfolio or resume
*Have an investment that will pay off through time in financial
and
personal fulfillment
*Increase your proficiency and performance
*Fulfill a mandatory step in becoming a creative professional
*Seek an enjoyable profession, burgeoning career or hobby
*Gain mastery over the program instead of intimidation and ineffective
downtime
That list above covers many areas that can have a DRAMATIC
impact to your lifestyle and future. There's just so many
benefits you can get out of knowing how to use Photoshop CS/2.
Think about the doors of opportunity it will open, the expanded
ability to create income, marketing of yourself or work, the
potential
to create personal fulfillment and effectively realize your creative
ideas and dreams!
The good news is that you can fairly soon be at a full level of
proficiency so you can start to CAPITALIZE on any of the benefits
you saw in the list or the aspirations that you hold as your own.
I tell you
it's a GREAT feeling knowing that you already know how to
use Photoshop like a professional and it really gets good when you
know that you can produce anything you want and you have your
own history and logged hours in Photoshop to back it up.
This gives you confidence to take new design projects or image
editing tasks on with ease. You don't
have to be held back by a limited knowledge of Photoshop.
The sooner you start learning, the sooner you can start reaping the
benefits of what you know that Photoshop can bring to you; higher
work efficiency, professional image editing results, increased
marketability,
portfolio development, creative expression, personal fulfillment,
etc.
It's worth the time to take to really learn Photoshop and have a
resource
there that will really back you up in it's concrete entirety;
something
that will be there for you to reference and continue to grow from.
But with so many available resources
where you do you begin to choose the right option that will save
you time and money and get you to your goals fastest?
Before I
talk about the different options of training that are available,
let's understand a little more about why you would use Photoshop
because this is really important.
Once you know 'why' you would learn
Photoshop, then you'll take the time to get the right knowledge so
you can accomplish your goals; otherwise there is no point in
learning Photoshop if you don't know what you want out of it...
Make sure you
sign up for the Free 8 Part Mini-Course
(if you didn't on
the way onto this page):
Let's take a look at some of the different areas in which you can
apply Photoshop. Areas that you may be specifically wanting to
learn Photoshop to master for.
YOU CAN
LEARN AND APPLY PHOTOSHOP:
-to compete in the global or workforce marketplace and job market
-to earn a full-time or part-time income
-to offer your image editing services (specialty) to clients
-for photographic (or design) portfolio management
-to be able to edit images professionally and prepare them
for any output
-for cd, magazine, postcard, billboard ...art design
-to 'define yourself' as a creative professional or even digital
artist
-for creating CD or DVD labels & covers

Imagine what you can do once you command a mastery
over the
tools and techniques within Photoshop!
You can professionally
prepare your images, touchup your photos, create entire ad
campaigns,
top end designs that sell, create art that inspires countless people
and much more.
And you know what? Once you dig into Photoshop CS or CS2 itself...a million more little details become apparently possible of what you
can do within each of those areas (and new areas) once you have the proper skill and
training!
That's why I think it's important and you might realize this also,
that a good foundational grounding in Photoshop will really allow
you
to apply your creativity combined with the power of Photoshop to
achieve maximum results.
So many common image editing tasks will
just become so easy that you didn't even know how to accomplish
before. You can improve some images in a matter of seconds
with the knowledge of how to use them in Photoshop.
Photoshop is
REALLY just a tool and means to the end...your results!
...better images,
polished products, creative expression, etc.; but one you'll LOVE
working with once you understand how to apply it. The possibilities
are only limited by your imagination!
I know how frustrating it can be to want to do something or
replicate
YOUR style or version of something cool you've seen but you will
be ineffective until you actually know how to harness the power of
Photoshop.
Don't beat yourself up over this...just understand that you just
have to
get the technical training so that you can exercise your creative
freedom. Once you have that down, then it all becomes easy and
enjoyable. Then, even more creative doors will open to you I
personally guarantee.
Remember if you expect to become a creative professional,
work in the graphics industry (or even some advertising or
marketing positions) and earn an income, then you'd BETTER be
proficient with Photoshop.
Prospective employers won't take you
seriously if you don't know what you're doing and you can't fake it!
It's best just to have that area ‘handled' so you know that you
are operational and functional if your job demands it or if you just
simply demand that of yourself.
Creative
professionals in many different fields use Photoshop as their
main production tool, day in and day out and often solely rely on
using it to complete the tasks and demands set out for them.
The top graphic designers, retouchers, movie poster designers,
flyer & poster designers, photo restorer's around the world for the
most part, all claim Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2 as their #1 tool of
choice.
If you desire to become a creative professional or are already doing a little
bit
with it, then you know how much a full level of Photoshop
proficiency
can help expand your creative and income earning horizons.
Even if you're not in Photoshop for the
money...
(making income from doing what you
love), you can still take your creative potential to the extreme by
getting a good foundational (and beyond) knowledge of how to apply
Photoshop.
If you just want to be able to use
Photoshop to create better photographic results or graphic design as
a hobby, the high level of knowledge you can attain will allow you
to reach professional results all the time.
If you're a
photographer, you will be using Photoshop CS/2 ALL THE TIME.
Professional photographers, assistants, publishers, fashion
agencies,
ad agencies, use it all the time to enhance their work and prepare
a better quality image especially for print work.
All this
power is just waiting to be unleashed at your fingertips!
Knowledge isn't
power...applied knowledge is power.
When you have a complete Photoshop CS/CS2
proficiency and ability to be a POWER user, then you can REALLY
exercise your creativity, have more control over your projects AND
save a lot of ineffective downtime and unnecessary expense.
Make your time in Photoshop 'uptime' and not 'downtime'.
This means that you can complete projects faster and get more
enjoyable work done so you can move onto the next project of
making money or creating an expression of your creative ‘visual'
self, just sharing touched up photos, etc..
If you haven't upgraded to
Adobe Photoshop CS2 yet, it's absolutely worth it and
only
$149 to upgrade from any full version of Photoshop.
Take a look at what the experts have to say about the upgrade to
Photoshop CS2.
Be sure to consider the full Creative Suite 2 itself for a complete
creative
professional turnkey software solution.
Just know that if you're going to be a creative professional or
someone
that is just REALLY effective in one of the areas that Photoshop
covers, know that a foundational grounding will be a source of strength
and knowledge for years to come.
In fact,
aspiring creative professionals will often spend thousands
of
U.S. dollars just to train themselves in Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2
(even just the initial foundational
training).
Yes, they're
serious and that's your competition (if you're job seeking). But do you have to do that?
No. It's just one of your options; there are more affordable
alternatives.
There are
10,000's of creative professionals using Photoshop everyday
who are earning a living and creatively expressing themselves
effectively around the world because of their working knowledge
of Photoshop.
But what about you? Don't you
want professional results?
Do you want to achieve your goals now or
later? The good news is that there are training solutions
which will get you there a lot faster and those which will take a
lot longer and cost you more.
If you're at the point where you're
ready now to start editing your images and achieving the worthwhile
goals that you have set out for yourself, I encourage you to do
something about it!
You don't HAVE to be frustrated with
Photoshop any longer.
Once you know that you just 'have to
learn' Photoshop, then it becomes quite clear that it's what you
have to do and then there is no question you just have to learn.
You will seek out potential resources,
make some investments and start applying what you're learning so you
can progress forward.
When you reach this point in your mind,
then the millions of details of Photoshop almost become
inconsequential because you know that you'll just learn them and get
them 'handled'. This will make you aware that learning
Photoshop doesn't have to be stressful and every little part will
have it's place. Just knowing this can be a great burden
lifted off of you.
Remember that Photoshop is just the
means to your end, so you know that you have to really 'learn' it in
order to get the results you want.
You may have some experience in
Photoshop and may even had some training programs before but realize
that you might just want a full on 'cover it all' Photoshop CS/CS2
training program.
So where do you start to look and what's
a good deal?
So what is the best Photoshop CS/2
training
method for you and your particular
needs?
I've discovered some information after
researching the Photoshop training industry marketwide and I think
this information will help you make an educated and informed
decision on the Photoshop training methods which may be right for
you.

"Hi Orion
Just wanted to let you know I think your tutorials are the best I have
come across...
I have been working Photoshop since it came out and currently image
manipulation, matte painting and background painting at the Art
Institute of California.
Thank you!!"
"...These
days, with hundreds of books and million of web
tutorials on the Photoshop, it is relatively easy to
find what you need. However, your dedication and passion
for the matter is not that easy to find elsewhere.
Thanks again and, as allways, keep us lectured and
skilled."
If you're serious about
finally learning Photoshop you know you're going
to have to make an investment of 'some' sort. You may be
considering taking a 'hands on' type of training or signing up at a
special school or even University.
But my goodness, that
really is a large investment and a big step to take: paying $1,000's
of dollars just to learn Photoshop in that environment. Even
if you get a 'Certificate' of completion of a course, does it really
mean you can USE Photoshop? Don't forget that in a
classroom, that's a once time experience so when it's over, it's
over and your money is spent!
Photoshop is a
tremendously powerful yet intimidating software program, and if
you're like I used to be, you've probably wasted countless hours trying to
figure things out on your own. Or worse; you've left the
program aside because you were too fed up with the sheer power of
not knowing what to do with it, so you temporarily gave up!
Not knowing how to fully
use a program such as Photoshop can leave you quite frustrated. You KNOW what Photoshop can do and
more importantly you know that you have things you want to 'get
done' with it.
So
you know you need an education solution that will
ultimately enhance your ability to earn income.
But why does it all have to be so
difficult?..
If you're a student who
is starting out learning, Photoshop can be a monster of a program to get a
grasp on.
So there is always
expensive classroom training, but isn't there another REAL
alternative where you can truly learn everything you want to
WITHOUT spending a small fortune to achieve the same results?
Well, you won't find any substantial amount of free Photoshop
training online either. To try and put together bits and
pieces here and there (from sources that don't really exist) to come
up with your solid education is a complete losing proposition as
well.
The internet is full of 'clone
sites'
that will teach you about the same neat little tricks as the next
site, but don't
really teach you PHOTOSHOP and how to edit images with it like a creative
professional (and I'm sure you've searched and found a lot of these sites
online). In fact, those tutorials don't even lay a foundation for
growing into graphic design itself.
In fact, if you're at
all serious about your Photoshop future (especially if you want to
be a creative professional) you'll understand that those sites
(which dominate the industry online) won't get you where you want to
be.
If you want to just get
by with the hundreds of free tricks or Photoshop gimmicks that you
can find on the internet (they all seem the same) and not find
anything of real 'substance' or foundational value from which you
can really grow from with Photoshop CS/CS2, then this page isn't
for you.
A lot of those types of
people can duplicate all kinds of cool effects they learned online
for free, but really DON'T know how to use so many of the features
Photoshop has (and you WILL).
How about reading the
Adobe manual for Photoshop CS/CS2?
I don't think anyone's read the
entire thing and it's still not going to show you step by step 'how
to use' Photoshop...it's meant as a reference and should stay as an
almost 'last ditch' reference guide. That's not how most
people learn anyways...do you?
There are also some
quality video programs available online but only teach just a
smidgeon of what you really want to learn. To try and piece
all those together doesn't come close to laying down a foundation of
understanding and operational excellence for you.
There are even books in
bookstores but half of those just focus on fun effects and the
others just aren't effective enough or don't cover enough ground to
fully verse you in everything that you should know about Photoshop
in an educational manner that is conducive to learning. You're
a visual person.
Reading a gargantuan
book should also be left to being a technical reference manual
instead of a step-by-step guide. You want something that
you can actually 'learn from' and easily - not something that sits
on a shelf or intimidates you.
You know that your time
is valuable so you don't want to waste it on ineffective or overly
expensive training solutions..So...if you just can't get valuable
complete Photoshop training for free, ruled out reading the manual
or hefty books,
and you're not sure if you want to spend $1000's of dollars in a
classroom environment...
Then what is the best all around solution for
you to become a fully proficient Photoshop CS/CS2 user ?!?
Hi, I'm Orion Williams
and I invite you to discover more about what I believe is your
best option and solution for comprehensive, professional grade Photoshop
training that you can actually learn from WITHOUT
overspending your time or money. In fact...
I want to give you a
solid foundation of complete Photoshop CS/CS2 proficiency and
THEN top it off with
tons of inside industry techniques and secrets (more
applicable to the real world & money making work that's available).
Hey, I didn't want
to read the manual either because it doesn't 'show you' how its
done. I also didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on
classroom training, simply because I DIDN'T HAVE that kind of
money at the time so it wasn't an option.
But because I
wanted to learn Photoshop so bad, I stubbornly dived into the
program (without any guidance at the start) and over the course
of several years eventually got to where I am at today. But, the pain I went through
in learning Photoshop in the early stages and all of the wasted,
ineffective downtime you don't need to go through. I mean, it was
bad...I don't know why I was so stubborn.
So you are quite savvy to
realize that you should really get a training solution somehow to help
you gain a headstart on the technical and creative aspects of Photoshop.
If you've already spent
frustrated hours, believe me I was there as well. And I look at
all the clone sites online and think, is there really NOWHERE where someone can
just "learn Photoshop online"?
I went to a non-imaging
conference in Anaheim, CA and everyone I talked to either wanted to
learn Photoshop themselves or knew someone who did and I was
thinking..."Man..I'm doing something with it online but I REALLY want to
get this out to the people because there are a lack of training options
and millions of people worldwide are begging to learn Photoshop."
In the infinite A.D.D. vortex that
is the internet, we still don't have websites dedicated to teaching and
applying Photoshop instead of just doing cool tricks with it?
Amazing..
There really is a lack of
full training options online, so
when I created some free
'Basic' Photoshop tutorials and uploaded them to some of the 'clone sites'
they actually had to create a new 'category' for that- for standard 'how
to use Photoshop' tutorials! That is
just preposterous but goes to tell you what kind of real training you
can expect online. I don't think those people even know what
'Adjustment Layers' are.
That's nice that Photoshop
can reach so many different markets of people within itself (and the
'clone sites' serve their purpose), but what about the legions of people
worldwide who are looking for real, comprehensive,
industry grade Photoshop training that can help them advance in their
careers or creative professional endeavors?
And what about you?
I'm sure you're here because you want to see how you can reach your
Photoshop goals effectively while becoming proficient in as short a time
as possible. You want to edit your images to achieve results as
well as understanding the reasoning behind it so you have even more
power to use Photoshop to realize your creative aspirations.
You may even just want to know about
TONS of insider, cool techniques and tricks that the professionals
use...(funny thing...the
institutional teachers frown upon this kind of stuff though)..
And believe me, the fun
REALLY begins once you understand how to use the tools and techniques to
achieve amazing results because then the power shifts to what you can do
with Photoshop.
If you're LOOKING for a
viable alternative (kudos to you) and aren't one of those strict "by the
books-education-HUB" person (and I've met them) who believes the ONLY
way to learn is to follow the system for a few years and learn through
student loans then you're probably NOT the type of person who might even
hold the possibility that you could learn from a viable alternative
such as what I'm about to offer unless you're willing to expand your
mind.
There's nothing wrong with a
University education...
but if you think that's the
ONLY way to learn
something, then you'll also have other problems dealing with life in the
real world and keeping up with the times. Fortunately, I think
you're open to other realistic possibilities that are just as effective
or even moreso as their counterpart.
Adobe Authorized Training
Centers are great, but they do have a higher price tag...
YOU DON'T NEED TO SPEND A SMALL FORTUNE ON PHOTOSHOP
TRAINING
Most likely you've looked at
a couple different training alternatives already. Perhaps you even
have some of those books or specialty videos and spent some money...but
you're still looking for the "meat and potatoes" Photoshop training.
Most people need something
more 'active' than just reading a book to learn...think about it, the
percentage of people who watch t.v. to reading. Reading isn't
always the best answer to find out 'how' to do something that is
extremely visual.
If you do get a book, make
sure it has several photos (screenshots) on every page or
you're just NOT going to know what's going on with Photoshop, unless you
are a very technical type of person who learns that way (by reading) and
can apply it but most people aren't like that.
If you have already taken
courses...
you've probably realized that there is still so much more to
learn about Photoshop, you weren't really fulfilled and you realize that
you have to keep spending more money to keep getting more and more
training (see how that kind of system perpetuates itself)? All
of a sudden you've spent thousands of dollars (and even more if you
need retraining).
Either way, making an
INVESTMENT in yourself and your education is one of the smartest things
you could ever do. If you use and apply the skills you learn,
you will be making headway in life and your career.
And like I said before, you
are smart and savvy to be seeking out the knowledge from a source that
is where you want to be because it will save you a ton of time and
headaches.
You want to make an investment in your education that
can not only be proud of immediately, but that will keep paying off in
results in the long run as well.
Whether you're an aspiring
creative professional, an amateur-advanced photographer, business owner
or corporate employee you have your own reasons for learning Photoshop.
You should expect a professional quality of training.
Yes, classroom training can
get you there but it is quite a big step to take, financially and that's
putting a lot of pressure on your shoulders as to where you have to
perform and commit to it.
What about a lower cost solution that
will get you to the same proficiency level that you can really feel
comfortable and good about?
I do think you're really
open to a professional, viable training alternative other than spending
the oft 'expected' thousands of dollars in more 'formal' training.
So what is this
ultimate 'all around'
solution for those on a budget?
That solution is video
tutorials training. Just because you could spend thousands of
dollars on more formal training doesn't mean you'll remember everything
that you learned in the class anyways. You can't go back to the
class after it's over (and you'd best remember everything you're learning there
for the amount of money you're spending).
The advantage of having
professional quality video tutorials is that you can truly learn at your
own pace and the materials will always be there so you can keep learning
from them. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
You can review any lesson at any time you need
and you get to see and comprehend everything as it happens when you are
experiencing the training.
This is a HUGE advantage to learning in your busy lifestyle. You
can proceed slowly, taking different subject areas one at a time or just
soak in everything as much as you can, when you want.
With video tutorials
training you can actually see everything captured in 'real time' with
video and audio, showing and telling you straight from the teacher
captured right within Photoshop and playing back on your video screen or
computer. Pause or rewind until you understand a concept at any
time.
And you can start
applying everything you learned immediately in Photoshop.
Because you are a visual
person, this is an incredibly effective way to learn and more effective
than reading a book..you want to be immersed in the training because
it's easier to learn when seeing it being done by a pro who is
explaining everything.
And there's no more downtime
for you putzing around in Photoshop anymore because you'll be brimming
with all of the new knowledge and techniques that you'll want to
explore.
And, as a professional
Photoshop user myself (and trainer) with years of experience and being a
Certified Expert for Adobe Photoshop CS, I would love to be your
personal trainer...to take you from where you are at now with Photoshop
to where you want to be - and on your time schedule with Photoshop CS
video tutorials training I've recently produced.
I want you to know that
I am here to help you make it EASY to learn Adobe Photoshop.
Yes, learning Photoshop should be easy. You will finally be able to stop wasting time
trying to 'figure it out' because you'll be spending your time editing
images with fast and professional results.
There is no need to be frustrated or intimidated about learning
Adobe Photoshop CS or CS2 anymore.
I will guide you along the way in the
Photoshop CS video tutorials training. Now you can achieve the exact same level of proficiency
as those who are learning in classrooms without spending the expected $1000's of dollars in a classroom
environment.
Heck, maybe you have the
money for classroom training but are too busy for that or the schedule
won't work out. I know a lot of people around the world,
especially in India & Malaysia who may not have access to classroom
training and are desperate for real Photoshop tutorials training that
can put them on edge with other Photoshop users around the world as part
of their career.
Really, truly learning Photoshop CS
& CS2 will allow you to unlock your creative professional potential and
achieve your digital imaging results. With the solid foundation
I'm going to teach you about 'everything Photoshop', you will be able to
further mold for yourself the direction you want to take professionally.
You will be ready to meet
the industry demands that are out there or goals that you have set for
yourself in the professional digital imaging realm.
You will have greatly
enhanced
your own marketability and ability to earn income with these tutorials
I'm about to introduce you to.
What really matters is what
you can do with Photoshop and where you end up with as your skill level.
How you get there is up to you. You are in exactly the right place
at the right time because I have just released my brand new, highest
quality Photoshop CS & CS2 complete proficiency video training solution.
Not only is the quality and
educational value of this training on par with anything on the market, this training
goes beyond the few other comprehensive Photoshop CS/CS2
training programs because it also teaches you applied techniques
throughout several hours of additional tutorials...
...NONE of the other
programs have this. These are real
world bonus tutorials training that you won't find anywhere else.
I'm talking about bonus
tutorials on advanced retouching, colorizing black and white, replacing
body parts, graphic designing, collaging, selecting hair, advanced
compositing, using ImageReady for web and much more (those are just SOME
of the additional training included) ...So take a look...

detailed Q&A.
Orion,
Thanks a lot for the quick response. I'm relatively new to Photoshop and
I'm very excited to learn from your exercises and examples!
Aloha, -Pat
Honolulu, Hawaii
"I have ordered several different training
programs for Adobe Photoshop and the tutorials
you get from Orion Williams are far and
above anything I have found so far.
Really enjoy them and learning at the same time.
Thanks Orion",
-John P. Staples
(Photoshop Designer purchase: previous customer
of mine...TutorialKey does NOT teach you movie poster design)
"..Although I stumbled around and picked up
a few basics on my own such as the concept
of layering, learning Photoshop
without help was intimidating and
frustrating... a bit like trying to
learn to fly an F-18 without an instructor!
Specifically, the Photoshop program began
to come alive when I found your site and
began to learn about Gradients, the Pen,
Erasure and Magic Wand tools, as well as
a host of other tools.."
...Photoshop is actually quite easy and fast to
use, once you have the right instructor!
Orion, thank you for your magnificent
website and for all
your help in opening up a whole world for me
in graphic design!" -Best wishes,
Jim Myer
This
brand new, 'hot off the press' training is 30+ full hours of
Photoshop CS DVD video tutorials training. Other complete
training programs that are out there (there are only a slim few anyways) cover up to
20-24 hours of training. This is the single largest
Photoshop CS Tutorials Training that is available anywhere, and
it's ready for you right now!
Even the Photoshop 7 (or CS) Bible from Deke
McClelland doesn't take you through hand by hand. That was a Great
reference book for me though, a while ago.
Scott Kelby has some
great
Photoshop videos out but even he's not crazy enough yet to do 'complete' Photoshop
training, so really you can only pick up bits and pieces here and there by
getting all their stuff and different focus videos.
Here you can get foundational
Photoshop training and tons of bonuses (including focus area training) - all in one
package at a super reasonable small investment.
Even Deke's Photoshop CS Total
Training on video (the only other real competition) is a great resource (and I
know people that would buy both TutorialKey and Total Training and still save
thousands on classroom education because of their hunger to learn) but doesn't
give you the real world bonus application tutorials that are extremely unique to
TutorialKey.
If you really have the money and can
afford the traditional route to learn Photoshop -great. But I do think
that TutorialKey training is the most all around economical and ideal solution
and in fact when you get the training, you'll be part of a special guarantee
that no one can match so you can see for yourself.
I have a proud tradition of integrity and honesty
with this business...
"So much appreciate it for your
kind and quick respond on my request,
I trust
your professional service and your high business reputation. Please let me know too if there is any new thing comes up.
I am excited always to learn new things.
Once again thank you." Regards
7/10/05 I was
writing the email asking you what I can do about having previously
ordered the Madison Ave. DVD & before I could even finish, you wrote
to me telling me that I have a $113 credit for having already purchased
it. Now that's service. I have to say I'm amazed.
That level of service & honesty
as (at least I thought) impossible to find on the internet.
....Thank you very, very much. I have to say that you definitely just
got yourself a lifelong, loyal customer.
Sincerely, Walter F Gremba Jr
So let's review
here...If you:
●Are online and looking at a viable
alternative to expensive classroom or traditional 'hands on' training
●Are feeling
limited because you just don't understand
how to put all of Photoshop's tools together or know how
they work...
●Are
tired of tutorials here and there on the internet not
giving you the "Big Picture" of Photoshop and it's
real
power...
●Just
want to finally
LEARN everything you can about
Photoshop
and image-editing as painlessly as possible so you
can move forward with your creative professional aspirations...
then
with the TutorialKey Photoshop Video Tutorials Training
you can now...
●Save
yourself thousands of dollars on the expected path to full Photoshop
proficiency
●Understand
and master
all of the tools, features and countless professional techniques by learning Photoshop from a professional
so you can move forward with expressing your visual self &
increasing your market value
●Cut
your Photoshop Learning Curve
drastically so you can start doing what you want to with your
increased 'uptime' while achieving effortless results
●Learn
as much and even MORE than in a classroom environment (which can
cost 10 times as much) while having something permanent to fall back
on while learning AT YOUR OWN PACE so you can EARN much more
With
this jam-packed Photoshop Video Tutorials Training, you'll get not only a fully
comprehensive and educational Photoshop CS experience at the
highest technical and educational quality (from an Adobe Certified Expert, Photoshop CS -
me), you'll also get 6 hours of bonus tutorials that
take your complete training even further by going through
practical exercises and focusing on multiple real world image
editing scenarios.
This is immersive
Photoshop CS & CS2 tutorials training at it's best
and I take
you right into the heart of fully learning EVERYTHING! The
video tutorials will really help you understand the
once-intimidating software so you can be using it extremely
proficiently in the shortest amount of time possible.
"The Photoshop CS/CS2 TutorialKey training that I
recently acquired has taken me to another level
in such a short time. The tutorials are so easy
to follow and well explained which really helps the
learning curve. It is almost like setting in a
classroom and having your questions answered... Well
done!!."
SO..NOW YOU CAN
ACHIEVE THE SAME RESULTS AS LEARNING IN A CLASSROOM WITHOUT SPENDING THAT KIND
OF MONEY
Nothing held back. The
TutorialKey DVD's are
beginner
through advanced Photoshop training.
And remember, you can learn at your own pace as well. All
lessons are there for your review so you can reference them
whenever you need to (unlike a classroom environment).
You see, I really
want you to LEARN PHOTOSHOP. I want to help you succeed in
reaching your Photoshop dreams and goals. I don't want you
to go through the pain that I went through in learning Photoshop
because it didn't need to take that long and it doesn't have to
be that expensive.
I want you to
have the option of affordable, full quality training so you don't have to invest
thousands of dollars to achieve the same results through the mainstream
'accepted' method of classroom training.
You are going to
learn such an incredible amount of information about Photoshop
and how to apply it, all without having to go through the manual
or having to pay for expensive 'hands on' classes. You
also won't need to keep buying other trainer's 'bits and pieces' training here
and there online or in bookstores (unless you want to) because you have the
foundation, the rock - right here with TutorialKey.
Imagine yourself
reaching your Photoshop goals, whether you are a photographer,
graphic designer, artist, digital video artist, hobbyist,
business owner, even if it's required for your job..
To reach your ideal and long term
goals pertaining to Photoshop,
it all starts with foundational training.
Not only do these TutorialKey
Photoshop video tutorials provide that necessary framework for you (instead of
just some pricey 'cool tips' DVD) to build on, but the video tutorials cover many of
the other areas that you are interested in as bonuses to give you the additional
boost to further explore your options.
...This is an incredible added value to you
when you get the TutorialKey training.
A full understanding
and proficiency in Photoshop is priceless, whether you're going
to use Photoshop for a career or otherwise. Adobe
Photoshop CS the
world's #1 image editing tool and is the industry standard for
professionals worldwide.
Just think of the visual world around
us...billboards, magazines, advertisements, brochures,
packaging, products...all of it is a conscious creation by
people, just like you, in the visual realm.
Photoshop not only
is the choice of these top professionals but can give YOU the
power to unleash your creative potential and compete for work in
the marketplace.
Don't let the
scope of the software program itself or your lack of knowledge bog you down from reaching your
goals anymore.
All you need is the right training tools and I
believe this IS it. There is always more room for creative
professionals in the world who have something of quality to
offer.
What do you have to
offer to clients and the world?
Are you going to be able to make that happen if you
can't master something miniscule such as using the lasso to get
to your end result? You already know that the 'clone sites'
(who comprise most of the Photoshop industry online) won't get you where you
want to go.
All you need is to understand 'how
to use' and apply Photoshop and then you can put your creative energy
to work effectively so you don't have to waste anymore time
being hindered from the lack of knowledge that is currently holding you
back.
TutorialKey Training for Photoshop
is your trustworthy training source from which your future digital prowess will
flow and grow from. I produce professional work all the time and I'm
passing onto you the foundation (as well as many of the insider guru secrets) to
power-using Photoshop.
MASTER the multitude of tools and
techniques with the Tutorial Key video tutorials training so you
can
unlock your creative potential starting today! The
longer you wait, the more you know that you're going to be
holding yourself back from truly reaching your Photoshop and
digital image editing goals.
The bonus training that's included will fulfill your
desire for cool tricks and techniques as well.
You will be so excited with all
of the things you are learning of substance and breakthrough, that you will have countless 'aha's
especially if you have been trying to figure things out by yourself.
I'm giving YOU the leverage of my knowledge of power-using Photoshop CS from the
barebones methodology to tweaking and shortcuts on finishing projects..
"Your tutorials are great! I appreciate your making them available.
Although I've been using Photoshop for several years, your tutorials
have cleared many functions that are so complex. "
-Lawrence P. Bestmann
"Hi Orion: I just purchased your DVD's
and I wish to thank you for the fast response and complete answers you
have given me. I am looking forward to working with your
system. Thank You. " -Larry
laloleb@earthlink.net
I have managed to acquire the basic knowledge, but could
never in my
wildest dreams hope to accomplish the wonderful results your students
have achieved...What a clever young man you must be, 'a visual', how I
wish I had your knowledge, although it is my belief, that you do not
learn these skills, you have an inheritant brain that automatically can
achieve the answer to the problem. Orion this is to thank you,
Kindest Regards.
Thanks very much Orion! You're a great trainer...
Let me know if you ever do more "one sheet " training.

More great news that will keep you excited:?
You won't even have to worry about spending the
'expected' thousands of dollars anymore on a 'real' foundational education.
In fact,
once you dig into your TutorialKey training, it doesn't
even have to be an option anymore. You can even
cancel out any plans of getting your foundational
training at an expensive seminar or classroom setting if
you want (heck, go to some special, focus seminar with
the money you saved).
Because of the sheer scope of
Photoshop there's just SO much to learn (that's why very few have even tried
full-on video tutorials), it's GOING to be expensive to get a full-on
education with that route but with the TutorialKey training set, you're good
to go.
You'll know that you saved
yourself a lot of money so you can focus instead of paying off some debt,
focus on your increasing Photoshop skill.
What if
you're already taking or have taken institutional or 'hands on'
Photoshop courses? Excellent...
the TutorialKey
Training DVD tutorials are a
PERFECT
SUPPLEMENT to ANY 'hands on' trainingyou are taking or have
taken.
In fact, I
will be marketing this training towards vocational
schools and institutions to help balance out THEIR
curriculum for their students (and to help
train the trainers with THIS exact training). It
hold it's own weight as a full training solution but
when combined with other training can provide a perfect
go-to resource for you to keep learning from.
Remember you can start to get an
impression of the training by looking at the promo and
intro videos, sample clips, as well as the discs that
are placed above on this page. But here are just a
fraction and I mean a FRACTION of what you will
learn:
Here are a
few specific benefits that you will get with the TutorialKey Training for
Photoshop CS:
These will allow
you to SAVE TIME learning Photoshop and use your time to reach your image
editing goals daily and EASILY because you will understand how to finally use
all of the tools, tips & techniques to accomplish virtually any image editing task
you can come across.
I cover it all in practical
training and exercises recorded live, explaining what I'm do.
● Text editing and effects -
So you can create very professional looking results in little to no time.
This will help round out simple photographs by adding a finishing touch to them.
● How to create custom gradients
& tool presets - Save time by creating your own set of tools' preferences to
streamline and accelerate your workflow. You can create any possible color
combination of gradient from any color in the rainbow and use it as a background
or product backdrop- I show you how.
● Importing & Exporting files
- You will be able to be 'up-to-speed' with the world of digital imaging and
photo post-production. You will understand how to scan-in and work with
files for print or web as well as saving files (in different formats) and
compressing them for web use, weighted optimization, slicing & ImageReady and
saving with transparency. You will also understand resolution,
image size and interpolation and ALL of the menu options.
● Creating custom brushes & brush options
- You'll be amazed at the
kinds of brushes you can make and how you can use them. I show you how to
use the brushes palette, how to make your own custom brushes to use for
painting, special fx, or even hiding or erasing pixels with them.
●
All Adobe Photoshop
CS, menus, tools
and palettes - Understand how to use the tools and work in the Photoshop
environment so you can focus your time on your project and not the project of
still learning Photoshop. You will see everything as it happens real-time
in Photoshop and you will get very comfortable combining different tools and
seeing how everything works together as I train you and also go through
practical exercises. All saving you an INCREDIBLE amount of time and
mental effort.
● Creating shapes, filling selections with
colors/gradients and more - Understanding these basic's can take you a long ways
with graphic design in such areas as creating fliers, brochures, and really cool
logo's. Easily get a head start on design projects with this information.
● How to touch up
and restore photos for much improved results in a matter of
minutes (sometimes seconds)! You will learn how to use Photoshop's
powerful Adjustment's and Filter's to your advantage to improve any and all of
your images to impress yourself or friends with.
●Layer styles & effects
- Tons of powerful instantaneous
effects that novices can use to look
like the pro's--you will use these a lot on text as I show you how.
You will be able to create professional Typography for any photo or design.
If you're new to Photoshop you'll probably just love the layer styles and the
cool, dazzling stuff you can do with them to your layers.
● Understand &
master the power of layers - the fundamental of all digital design.
This is where each separate image becomes it's own moveable element. It is
imperative that you really grasp this particular subject, so I spend a lot of
time on it and use layers a lot to get you comfortable with them. When you
know how to use layers, you will have the foundation to be able to start
creating collages, montages, and ANY form of graphic design. You will
learn how to use the selection tools to create new layers to become part of a design
or new project or to create special custom adjustments.
Just think of how much time
you'll save not having to figure all of this out on your own.
The Help Manual doesn't actually 'show you' how
it's all done.
● Combining
multiple tools in getting a quick and fast selection - There are many ways
to get selections and different tools that you can combine together to get your
desired selection, I cover them so you know what tools to use when to save
yourself stress and hassle. Once you get a selection you can do many
things with it such as adjust it, transform it, make it a layer and much more
which I cover.
● Use Photoshop Adjustment
& Fill layers - Learn how to apply adjustments such as changing the
brightness values, or creating a gradient fill on completely temporary,
disposable layers without damaging any of the pixels of your original
layer/image. This is perfect if you're not sure you want to keep an
adjustment or if you might want to change it quickly later. I show you how
to do non-destructive editing so you don't have to start all over again.
● Layer sets, linking, saving files,
exporting for web, merging - learn how to organize and manage your Photoshop workflow
to save time during your projects. No need to have a messy workspace with
these tips.
● How to make image adjustments
- I cover it all
IN DEPTH including custom adjustment layers to apply an effect only to a certain
part of one layer/image without changing anything else in the document.
All adjustments are explained thoroughly so you will understand what is going
on.
● Keyboard Shortcuts are consistently reiterated during the
training process so it becomes natural and can save you tremendous amounts of
time. Before you know it you're working on your image editing and graphic
design instead of trying to figure out how to use a certain tool and you're
working fast using all of Photoshop's powerful tools that you now understand and
don't let go to waste.
● Selections: all the tools, from basic to most advanced techniques (including
the powerful quick mask mode): Learn how to select just about anything.
(In case you don't know yet, you create a selection out of an
image so you can do something else with it like put a person onto a different
background or create a world where the lion can lay next to the lamb). I
cover all of the tools including Lasso, add to and subtract from selection,
marquee, pen & path editing tools, extract, color range and more - it's all
here and cross-referenced throughout the entire training program so you really
can start using them right away to achieve results.
●
The practical and instant professional power of layer masks and their
applications (covered in several tutorials to make sure you understand layer masking and
its importance in pro design). I show you how to create that "perfect fade
& blend". Now you can "hide" pixels and create smooth
or fading blends in any image
(used
in 90% of all movie posters). You won't believe how easy it actually is
with my special technique and you will look like a pro immediately!
● In-depth gradient
tool - Understand how to use it for hiding pixels on a layer and also for
creating your own professional colored backgrounds or fills.
● When to use the brush tools when masking
(hiding pixels) - So you spend less time getting a highly accurate selection the
FAST way. Quick masking will allow you to create your new layers such as
people or objects with pleasant results.
● Understanding and using vectors and the shape tools
- start to create the kind of images you see in commercial advertising by
using some of these features. You will fully understand the pen tool,
paths palette and how to modify advanced selections or paths using the path
editing tools. This will allow you to get much more accurate results.
● Historyand Snapshot
options - understand how to fix your work well after you've made a mistake.
This is covered in depth as well as everything else, so you really understand
Photoshop CS and what is going on. There is no more need to be
uncomfortable with anything in Photoshop anymore.
● Introduction to automation
and actions - Learn how to use the power of Photoshop to do a lot of your grunt
work with these powerful tools I teach you.
● Curves Adjustment - understand how to use the most powerful and feared
weapon of them all to have the maximum control over adjusting different portions
of your image. You will be truly amazed at the photo editing professional
power that you will harness after the Curves tutorials and you will never be
afraid to use it again.
Many hours worth of
additional bonus training tutorials that really go beyond any other training
program (even classroom) and starts putting 'everything together' for you.
These bonus tutorials alone are worth your investment in the program because of
the value you will get out of them and the high level of experience and real
world knowledge of application that will be transferred directly to you to work
with.
This is the only
industry-grade complete Photoshop CS tutorials training program that offers anything
additional like this IN THE WORLD. And it's a gift from me to you. I
want you to hit the ground running with these tutorials as your single greatest
Photoshop resource.
....and much much
more! In fact, I encourage you to take a look at the Course Overview
to get a good idea of what's included. Remember also that there are
countless mini-lessons within each of these tutorials that are too numerous to
mention.
You Will
be operating smoothly in Photoshop in the shortest possible
time!
So, I ask you to think about it;
are you ready to learn how it all works now once and for all?
This way you can stop wasting your time that you keep fanagling with
learning Photoshop, or debating whether you're ready to commit to something
that requires student loans or hefty credit card debt?!
Are you ready to make the investment in
your personal or professional education and get things moving forward?
It's time
for results and progress in your hands, ESPECIALLY if you invested the money
into Adobe Photoshop or Creative Suite. You deserve to
experience the level of results that others are enjoying and professionally
capitalizing* on...
"I just
wanted to thank you for creating the best photoshop
training DVD's I
have ever had. After watching the CD's I was able to
create four very nice
posters for a local band. I always knew the basics of
photoshop, but was
never able to use the basics to create some great
digital art.
When I went to Kinkos to have my posters printed. The
clerk behind the
counter was so impressed.
He hired me to
create a poster for his band.
Once again, thanks for the great training."
-Kevin Ginyard, Maryland
___________________________________
"...
after just one week of view some of the DVD's
I was able to put together sample designs to show to
prospective clients and
landed 4
paying jobs.....The fullfilling part of is, I was
more versed in vector design programs(Corel Draw) to do t-shirt designs and
stuff and have only been using Photoshop for about a year and a half.
Now to me
that's results.....The training has been a great help to me and I would
definitely recommend this
training to those who really want to get into really learning Photoshop and not
have to worry about being overwhelmed."
*capitalizing on some of my other training (Photoshop
Designer Package). I do teach some graphic
design techniques towards the bonus end of the
TutorialKey training or you can get 'everything'
in the
TutorialKey Mega Package. Just think
of what I can do for your Photoshop CS/CS2
proficiency because the quality of the
TutorialKey is much greater than the training
they're talking about because I've vastly
improved since then.
Right now
they're having pleasant bliss in
working with Photoshop, meeting exciting challenges head on and
earning income from their work while you continue to struggle at way
less than your capability?! We're talking about REAL WORLD PHOTOSHOP
here.
This
training is also great foundational prep upon which to
get ready for the ACE exam (though it will take some
more advanced study in the Help Menu as I had to do
myself). It's all here so you can learn fast.
Do you want things to stay
the same or do you want to get yourself up to a market-ability level and be
able to produce imaging results?
It's not possible to 'pretend'
you know how to do it when you really don't. Your weaknesses will
become supremely self-evident. I will guide you in these ways to ease
you into becoming fully proficient and with practice you will become
'unconsciously competent' so you can work with ease, accomplish more, save
time and make more money.
All you need is great training
from a dedicated mentor at the right price but you must take some action.
If you don't, your competition is going to get further and further ahead of
you, leaving you in the dust.
But when you get yourself up to
speed (or the industry standard level of operability), YOU can be the
one who starts developing a portfolio of great work and passing others up,
and competing for work and projects. I encourage you to
ACT TODAY
to start achieving your Photoshop and full market potential.
If you want to learn Photoshop
for yourself personally, then you know you're not living up to your
potential because you KNOW that you really want to learn Photoshop for what
you can do with - and that's why you're here.
It should really 'irk' you to know
that your ideas will become even more expressive and vivid once you have the
mastery of tool and technique that I will train you on; but if you DON'T
take action you will never know the level of creative expression that you
could achieve.
Give yourself this great gift
and power to achieve results and you will be opened up even further to what
you can do in Photoshop, I guarantee it. You will relish this sense of
adventure and I welcome your breakthrough testimonial as well.
It's a great feeling to be
helping people breakthrough all over the world in achieving their Photoshop
and career aspirations, to be able to get them to that level where they
really let their creative energies run free because they've had enough
training or just the boost they needed.
My students*
get results and see boosts in their
productivity and ability to acquire work. You can
view much their work anytime and soon your work can be online as well.

*Students who may have purchased
other previous training programs of mine
p.s. my previous training
programs were on different websites for the past 2 years but now because of
a deal with Adobe that I would start to stop using 'Photoshop' in the actual
domain name itself, I've had to restructure and now I'm spearheading "TutorialKey
Solutions" On this website you will now find all of my training.
Keep on reading so you don't miss
anything!
Here is a little mini-lesson for you...as we
continue:
For this tutorial grab
the lasso tool in the toolbar.
Now make a general
selection by dragging the lasso around your subject.
Try to keep it as close
as you can. You have to go all the way around the subject to meet
endpoints to close off the selection.
This is a basic and old
school way of making selections which you must understand. There are
much 'better' ways which I cover in the video training but once
again; it's imperative that you understand the fundamentals and grow
from there.
Once you have made a selection around your subject, switch to the
moVe tool as shown.
Now you can place the
cursor inside the selection and ‘move' it. Try doing this and
dragging it around. See how the space is left there where she
used to be?
If you're wondering
where the actual water and sidewalk went then I can't help you (but
yes you could fix it..that'd be another lesson).
Go to the History palette and undo your last command of move to put
the subject back in place.
To work with your new
selection on it's own, go to Layer: New: Layer via copy. This places
the selection onto it's own layer (very important to understand).
You can also right click
when you are on a marquee or lasso tool and choose Layer via Copy to
put the selection onto its own layer. There are ways to edit the
(lasso) selection which are covered in the video training and other
tutorials included.
Now you have basically duplicated
your subject and put it onto its own layer. Here I've got her on her
own layer (you can see the invisible space around her in her layer
on the palette).
Remember that there are better, more
accurate ways of selecting which we'll get to. It takes a steady
hand to use the lasso. Keep on learning, because once you
understand the fundamentals you can go a long ways into your real
goals with Photoshop!
How
can I even begin with the sample above?
There's so much to learn that it took 33 hours of
video tutorials to cover it all in!
"Thank you. It is good to know that you can do business with someone and

I just LOVE good service, thus, you just made my day! ;-)

and know how important it is to give good service and I really
appreciate it when I find someone who also believes in and practices
this basic principle."

7/10/05 I was
writing the email asking you what I can do about having previously
ordered the Madison Ave. DVD & before I could even finish, you
wrote to me telling me that I have a $113 credit for having already
purchased it. Now that's service. I have to say I'm amazed.
That level of service & honesty
as (at least I thought) impossible to find on the internet.
....Thank you very, very much. I have to say that you definitely just
got yourself a lifelong, loyal customer.
Sincerely, Walter F Gremba Jr
But back to the TutorialKey and how it
can meet your training needs...you might have some more
questions...Here, I want you to take a look at this
special video that will help explain the Photoshop CS
Video tutorials training a little bit
more.
You must have Flash 7 in order to view it.
Note: The quality of the video and audio IS
greatly compressed for web use
but the actual DVD video and audio is clear.
Move your Cursor over the bottom area
to reveal the Flash Player Settings and to start or pause the video.
Orion:
"Got it...all is A-OK!
The training
is the best...worth the wait! I learn more from your style of
instruction than with the more"liner" type of training. I flip on the
lava lamp, open some wine, light-up, sit back and learn. Keep it up.
... Thanks again!"

A real investment in your
education and future is going to cost you 'something', wherever
you're at in the world, and that's the truth (unless you're a librarian
without a life). The TutorialKey Photoshop CS education solution
is about 10 times less than you would spend on formal, classroom
education to achieve the same level of operational proficiency.
If you can afford
institutional training then you can easily afford this valuable training
and you will be very happy with it as a perfect supplemental training
tool with virtuous hidden treasures to discover. If you can't
afford hands on training, this is an ideal
training solution for you at the right price and you will be extremely
happy with it GUARANTEED.
When you apply what you
learn in this 'easy to follow' comprehensive Photoshop training program
YES you will be extremely competent and well ahead of the game.
So, for the modestly small
investment of now only $249 (USD) you can own your copy of the entire
newly released 12 DVD training program
with 30+ hours of the most useful, practical, step by step, easy to learn
Photoshop video tutorials you'll find anywhere.
I think that's definitely a
fair price considering the amount of lifelong digital imaging skills you
will have with a vastly increased market value in Photoshop and your
ability to produce as well as great self-satisfaction knowing that you
can compete in the fast-paced industry ANDyou'll have saved a ton of money
on your professional Photoshop training.
And when you consider that
the going rate for Photoshop video tutorials training is $20 per hour of
training, that puts the real retail value of this training at $600.
That's an unbelievable 53%+ savings but still a worthy investment
at that price when you compare it against the cost of traditional,
classroom training.
You're getting hundreds of
lessons, countless mini-lessons and 30 hours of top quality Photoshop
education in one complete set. Remember this is the largest single
video tutorials training product on the market.
You see, I didn't hold
anything back on this training and jam-packed it into the tutorials so
you don't miss a thing..
Your
products are awesome. I am going through the photoshop tutorials
over the last two weeks and they have substantially increased my
knowledge of the application in a fraction of the time I
expected...
When I go home in the evening I am actually excited because I know I
will learn more about Photoshop.
And thank you again for your tutorials and project files. I am
learning more than I ever anticipated from your products.
My wife thinks I've become addicted to Photoshop and
that it is your fault :)

The
DVDs have open my eyes to a lot of powerful information that you can do
using PhotoShop and it has also helped me out making DVD
Menus using Encore DVD. Photo Shop CS, Premiere, and Encore DVD all work
great together.

"I just
wanted to tell you how much fun I am having with your
TutorialKey DVDs! I thought i'd be
bored through the first few discs since I've used
PhotoShop so much in the past. I thought I knew all the
simple stuff-- but man was I wrong!
I have
learned so much about tools, shortcuts and simple
special effects already. I can't wait to get into the
more advanced stuff. I also appreciate the
high quality, professional looking Tutorialkey
packaging. What a valuable and great looking set of dvds!
Thank you so much!"

But just to make this an even more valuable
offer for you; for a limited time only, I'm going to throw in these
powerful Bonus Items. If they are listed right now
you can receive them when you order right now, otherwise I can't
guarantee that you'll ever receive the bonuses. Take a look at
what else you will receive when you order your TutorialKey Training right now.
FREE BONUS ITEM #1:
Tutorial Key Training:
CS2 Features DVD
2 hours 36 mins.
(This makes it
a total of 33 hours of Photoshop video tutorials training on 13 DVD's)
This special
Bonus DVD training goes into Photoshop CS2 tutorials on the new features so you
know how to use and apply them in real world workflow situations.
There are so many awesome upgrades with the latest new version of
Photoshop CS2 (aka '9') that are covered in this feature packed tutorials training
DVD.
● Adobe Bridge - There are so many hot features in the brand
new Adobe Bridge application alone, that its going to get you pretty excited.
You can now change the size preview of your documents with a slider as well as
multiple viewing methods, batch renaming, advanced search and metadata functions
and a whole new complete look in this separate application. Understand how
to use the Bridge (the replacement to the file browser) in this nice, long
tutorial. There's no better way to organize and manage all of your work
across multiple Adobe applications.
● Exposure - In this tutorial I go into the new Exposure
adjustment that Adobe has added and how to use it to not only make adjustments
to your images but understand the production and post-production process even
better. You will further understand the histogram palette and be shown how
to set black white or gray points to clip areas of any image when setting or
adjusting the exposure.
● Image Processor - Now it's EASIER than ever to batch
process your photos. Saving files used to be tricky in the batch process
but with Image Processor it's a snap. I show you how it's done. This
tool alone can save you hours of time resizing, saving, automating, even
applying actions across thousands of files to help free your mental energy up.
● Lens Correction -
If you've ever had lens distortion, chromatic aberration or even vignetting,
this powerful new feature allows you to accurately correct an image to get it to
how it should look in the first place. You will understand how to use and
apply this great feature.
● Merge to HDR - Photoshop CS2 is taking digital photography
to the highest level with 32bit color support in this feature of Merge to HDR
(high definition reproduction) which will allow you to reproduce for print the
real world spectrum of color that you see with the naked eye. Specific
requirements must be met so I go through this feature so that you understand it
and know how to use and apply it.
● Vanishing Point - (3-D) Vanishing point is a
powerful, show-stopping feature in Photoshop CS2. It will
allow you to edit, select, paste, clone and work with layers on the
actual perspective plane that you define in any image. This
feature is perfect for reshingling a home, creating billboards,
extending sidewalks, cool effects, making buildings taller and so
much more all without the pain of trying to match up pixels like you
had to try and do before.
●
Warp Image- The brand new 'Warp Image' transformation
is so cool, yet so practical. Now you can wrap product comps
around objects, create real 'fly away' effects and basically warp any
rasterized or pixel based layer with even more control than you had over
the text warp option. You're going to LOVE this feature because of
its fun practicality.
● Short Menu, Type Preview, Reduce Noise, Spot Healing and more
- In Photoshop CS2 you can now customize your actual menus
themselves and what you see visible. This REALLY takes
customization and interactivity to the next level. I show you
how to do this as well as showcasing the new Type Preview, Reduce
Noise filter and how it works to reduce grainy noise in your photos.
You will also know how to use the new Spot Healing Brush (super
consumer friendly) to get instant photo fix-ups on scars, blemishes,
imperfections, pimples, etc. as well as the new Red Eye Tool itself.
● Smart Objects & Smart Sharpen - In Photoshop CS2 the
layers palette has gone through some major changes and I take you
through this in practical exercise and education so that you
understand how to use it as well as fully understanding the new
Smart Objects feature. This allows you to do nondestructive
editing and transforming on layers you designate so you never lose
quality. This is a real power feature that will retain the
quality of your work as you can keep the original, highest quality
source material as your updated reference through the end of your
project.
You will really understand
how to use smart objects and how to apply changes from a smart object to
the actual working document itself. This nondestructive editing
power is phenomenal and is taught in a fun tutorial that leads into an
actual design project itself with a little digital scrapbooking and
advanced layer work. You will also learn about the new filter of
smart sharpen and how this is the best sharpen filter yet.

If you DON'T
take

it'll always be there for your reference so you can learn at
