Photoshop Tutorials, Hints & Tips

Professional photographers love Photoshop as you can greatly enhance a photo or image using the fabulous features. While nothing can make a bad photo look good, Photoshop can make a good photo look great and you can do some amazing enhancements that will render your projects unique. Unfortunately, at first, Photoshop can be very confusing for the beginner. This is where our tutorials can help.

We have made a collection of easy hints, tricks and tips that we apply to photographs to improve them where needed. We do not advocate over using Photoshop on most images, preferring to have them as natural as when taken, yet do realize that certain manipulation of an image can greatly enhance the overall look of a photo, bringing out tones and textures that were unseen before.

Our Photoshop tutorial folder will grow over time as we add more helpful tips. To kick start the Photoshop tutorial folder we show you how the pros resize an image.

How to resize an image

Step 1:
Select image from the top tool bar. Scroll down and click Image Size.

Step 2:
Type in the dimensions that you want for the resized image and hit the okay button. Your image will be resized and you can save as or continue working on the image.

Observations:

It is mostly better to work in pixels and by having "Restrain Proportions" checked, you only need to change the width of the image and the height will be automatically adjusted in proportion.

Selecting Bicubic Sharper actually sharpens the image pixels giving greater clarity to the project.
