22 Best Photoshop Tutorial Sites
I’m not quite sure when it started but every time I hear the term “image editing”, almost automatically, Photoshop is the first thing that crosses my mind. Probably because when my friends look at the billboards or magazines, they would immediately tell me: it’s “Photoshopped”.
Computer geeks always talk about Photoshop and even people where I developed my pictures use Photoshop. You might also remember the same situation in your life when you inevitably heard about this widely used software.
Undeniably, Photoshop is really popular. So I decided to start learning how to use this remarkable photo editing program. But when the first time I edit my picture with Photoshop, I immediately realized that using this software is not as easy as it may seem.
