Start with the Basics

Picture from Hometown

When I first started learning Photoshop, I opened the program and looked at all the tools in the toolbox--it was totally intimidating. They're all explained in every beginner book I've seen, but I just knew I'd never remember them and what they do...so I created a 'cheat sheet." Here you go...your own personal cheat sheet. :)

This graphic is the basic layout of the toolbar in Photoshop CS2. For a great explanation of each of the buttons, go to the following website http://www.davrodigital.co.uk/toolbox.htm 

The website is for a previous version, but still a valuable resource. Check it out!

    I wish I had my printer working now. I'd print it out. I just now started trying to work in PSP 9 and don't have a clue what I'm doing. I need to go get a book myself, but I do better with basic people checklists. Sometimes those books go above my head. I may be back to visit and see how you're coming along.
    Take care, Chrissie

    I've got this one bookmarked just in case I ever decide to get Photoshop.  It has always amazed me what can be done with software.
