im makeing a video on how to use photoshop/ in english an spanish

[Whipyo]

If it is for beginners, cover the basics.

First, how all the tools work and what they do. Also explain the general photoshop interface.

Then layers, channels and layer masks. Most beginners have a hard time understanding the difference between a channel and a layer (I when I started on photoshop, I found this confusing). Explain image modes as part of this.

From there, I would go into the image/adjustments menu itens. Then you could cover adjustment layers, groups, and clipping groups. Then cover filters.

That should be enough for a start.


Good luck!

yea i got that in ther an a demo at the end on how to use mostly all the tools makin a sherken(ninja star) the whole video is like an hour an half long but it cover everything you mentioned, you think there is a market for doin this in spanish?

[scrimski]

Definitely cover the 'non-destructive workflow' using masks and adjustment layers.
It was like discovering a whole new continent, at least to me, when I found out how this works.

[thehive]

yea thats towards the end jus a recap an workflow stuff, i havent started the spanish on yet an takers on that one?

[Whipyo]

you think there is a market for doin this in spanish?

Are you making a commercial or free video? Will it be DVD or downloadable files?

[thehive]

this is commercial, im almost done with it

[thehive]

hey guys im jus about done , i was think of selling this vid for like 15 a pop what do you guys think any thoughts?

[Ian Jones]

15 what? 15 is a unit. This is an international forum, so you need to specify the currency. Just making a point here, it's not hard to guess what it will be.

[thehive]

sorry bout that 15 US my bad

[thehive]

anyone interested? over an hour of video

You have a lot of competition in the English speaking market. I picked up a copy of the total training dvd for about $20 and that was 4 DVDs worth videos

Where did you find those dvd's for 20 bucks?

[benclark]

My university library was selling a lot of resources. You can get them cheaper than that on Ebay but the're almost definetly copies

[thehive]

dam 20 buks for 4 dvds thats nuts so my one would be worth like 5 buks at least thats gay, what can i do in a market where everyone undercuts the next guy, well that being said i guess i can let it go for no less than 5 bucks a copy here is a list of what it has off the top of my head if there is anything you would like on it let me know i can always add to it an reout-put, let me know thanks guys


topic include ( off the top of my head)
masking ( good section on that)
selections
transforms
layering
channels
brushes
erasers
combo mask and selections
rgb vs CMYK
nice section on pen tool on how to really use it
full painting tut at the end take all of the above an applies it

[benclark]

I'm guessing my library were bulk ordering, plus there is the educational discount they would have got - you have to take into account.

As for the content I really support the part about the pen tool and how to use it. Its not something you can really learn how to use properly just by reading about it, so thats really usefull

Also if you dont have it already a large section on blending modes and advanced layer blending

[Jaycee77]

@Alchemist101: Well if they are unloading anymore let me know, I'll take some :D.

As for the topic at hand. I agree the pen tool would be a good area to cover as well as blending. One area I am CLUELESS in is channels..I have no flippin clue how they work, I would love to see something on this.

[thehive]

in my video i have those topic on channels, some blending , layer grouping an blending an pen tool.

...doesn't that make them bootlegs, or am I misunderstanding? Not that I really care, but comparing thehive's pricing to a bootlegged DVD is like comparing apples to oranges.

[thehive]

you have a point vaXn8d i shouldnt have to undercut because of bootleg videos but at the same time i was seeing i think digital tutors selling some pshop vides for like 25 buks

[benclark]

I wasnt comparing his prices to bootlegs. Read the post. I said that I got genuine dvds for $20 but you can get them cheaper on ebay, though at $10 for 4 dvds its probably gonna be a copies

[vaXn8d]

Oh damn, sorry about that. I missed the word 'that' in your post :blush:
