How to really learn PS

Photoshop is an essential tool for professional designers to cultivate, but in the face of this behemoth, which has evolved since the 87, it is not easy to overcome it without the guidance of its predecessors. Share a good article today about how you can learn Photoshop in the field of photography.

Small reminder: Many of the first contact with the design of the students think that as long as the PS can be, but subdivided into various fields, the requirements of the designer in fact more than "will use software" this item. If you want to be a real designer, maybe you should look at the excellent set of self-study from scratch.

　　01: Learn PS, not overnight

Interest-is a good start to the way PS Master: If you are not interested in PS, just because of the work needs and deliberately to learn, then you no matter which master of the tutorial, or go to which PS master door, you can only learn a little fur.

　　02: The Aesthetic Foundation: this is quite important

Many students come to study, some of them have been doing PS for many years, why has not progress? Some people start to complain that they are stupid, or complain that they do not have a good teacher to bring him progress? Most people spit the topic is the photo studio mechanical work, let oneself too numb. In fact, in the final analysis, is the Aesthetic Foundation is weak!

So how to improve their aesthetic? Or is there a teacher who teaches you aesthetic lessons?

In fact, everyone's aesthetic although different, but same. And art, is to teach you how to go to the aesthetic. It is very important for your PS to properly cram some fine arts Foundation.

Non-class students, improve the aesthetic in addition to appreciating good works, more important is to read a large number of books on beauty, must have a clear and profound understanding of the United States, understand the course of the United States. Seriously, this is one of the differences between a graphic artist and a designer.

　　03: Is it hard to learn?

This is a lot of students often ask a sentence: as if someone asked you, beer good drink? Is the ice cream good? Different people, will come to different answers: color is difficult to learn or not, the most important thing is to see their grasp of the color and the ability to accept, etc.: because the color palette involved in light and shade, color, aesthetics, etc., it is not just a few tools to manipulate so simple. Many students on the PS tool proficiency, far beyond my speed, and even close my eyes can quickly pull out the appropriate tools: But this does not mean that your color technology is very powerful. Color is a huge knowledge, more than PS that a few tools and channels can be interpreted?

　　04: Can you learn PS without an art foundation?

Of course you can learn! Take me as an example, I have never studied the art of professional, even the most basic sketch, there is no formal system of training. Art is just a part of my hobby. In your spare time, take a little thought and simply get a sense of it. Of course, system professional learned to learn PS, and then to color, of course, better. Because the color palette is involved in the art foundation of Things. So don't make excuses to say that you do not have time to learn art, do not need you to learn, as long as willing, time can always squeeze out.

　　05: Old Man, can you learn PS?

Learn PS, there is no age limit, as long as you want to learn, there is no learning things. It's just that older friends are not as deep in their memory as their young ones. But also not as soon as the study finished forgot. You have never practiced PS until you have studied. Many of my students are Mas, but the vigor of learning is never lost to the young. The so-called happy. Learning some PS can actually add a bit of color and happiness to your life.

　　06: After learning PS, some technology is always not applied?

Any PS technology, has its corresponding function. Not to apply, but not to use.

One reason is: the work of the photographer can't impress you. This is very important. Only cause you have no inspiration, no PS go on the * *. Another reason: I still do not know how to analyze photos, or no analysis of the right. Once the analysis is wrong, your next steps and tools will continue to be wrong.

　　The higher the 07:ps version, the stronger is the function?

Just beginners of the students, the PS version of the level and function, do not know much. But many people think that the higher the version, the more beautiful pictures can be. Or the higher the version, the more powerful the function inside. In fact, for the color palette and repair drawings, ps any version can be adjusted, but the lower version, the more efficient operation. Because some of the plug-ins are relatively few, so the operation is very fast.

Every time you upgrade a new version, it will bring some surprises, because each version upgrade will add some new features, or optimize some of the interface. Arguably is the higher the better, but some features you may not use, no matter how the software upgrades, the original function and the use of methods will not change. Personally, the best thing to use now is the CS3 version of the 10.0 version. However, some of the original files must also be used in the latest PS version to open. This should vary from person to person.

　　08: Learning the PS tutorial on the network useful?

Because many students in the beginner, suffer from no teacher guidance, or because of work reasons, temporarily please not so much time of leave to attend training courses. They can only learn through the Internet. The internet age has brought us great convenience. Many PS websites and photographic sites will publish some PS tutorials on a regular basis. Provide a learning platform for friends who are unable to participate in field studies due to special circumstances. But the PS tutorial on this platform is a variety of, a mixed bag, which let a lot of novice students, misguided. Because of the PS tutorial on the Web, there is no professional supervising and evaluating technology to check whether this tutorial is qualified or not. Everyone is on the internet. Wrong and right, better than bad, difficult to distinguish. The same tutorial, different sites, after forwarding has not been the same effect. Many parameters and fonts are riddled with bugs. Sometimes a word is not accurate, then the revised picture, it is completely different. So my suggestion, if is not any basis, suggest to go to the bookstore to buy professional PS technology books and videos to learn. For the PS base, can distinguish some PS technology excellent, you can refer to their ideas and methods, take its essence, to its dross.

Have a good teacher to guide, especially self-study to come over the designer's guide type is very important, here recommend the students to read this article "Super Praise!" The complete self-study Guide for Designers, method system Science, help will be very big.

　　

　　09: Just start learning PS, you can imitate it?

Can be imitated, even I highly recommend imitation. Although you have just started to learn PS, at least you can tell what kind of work you like and what you do not like. Even though you can't say why you like it, or where the other person's work is good or bad. But you can use your intuition to practice the work that you think is good, as an object of imitation. In this way can be found in imitation of the law. After a certain stage, do not blindly to imitate. Because you have to break through yourself, you can not always repeat the footsteps of others. Imitation of the best teacher guidance, so you can know, you imitate the accuracy rate is how much? What else do you lack?
