Fitz Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hey Guys/Girls, Just a few random questions really. I've seen a large amount of requests for Photoshop on the forum recently and most of the photoshopped pictures come out looking really good . So what I'm wondering is; who uses photoshop on here, which version of photoshop you use and how easy it is to use (i.e. change the colour of objects etc.) Depending on the difficulty I may give it a go. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 You won't learn Photoshop over night mate. I use version CS4 at the moment. Photoshop is possibly the hardest program to use for a "n00b" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 You won't learn Photoshop over night mate.... Photoshop is possibly the hardest program to use for a "n00b" So I have heard, but I am willing to put in time and patience to learn it. Just wondering which version seems to be the most user friendly? I've seen the CS4 Layout, they've added new features from the previous versions.

mustang Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi mate, I'm using CS2 at the moment which is fine for what I do. I learned a bit through uni but also did some tutorials off the Digimods website, if its for supra stuff you're wanting it I'd have a look there.

AndrewOW Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I've been using Photoshop for over 19 years, and it still has its moments, but I can normally figure out whatever needs doing. Best go for the most up to date version, if possible, and just do stuff. Its not difficult to get going, but takes a while to master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Start off with an easy to use program like PaintShop Pro. This will give you a good idea of the use of effects and layers etc. Then move onto Photoshop. I found this progression came naturally. Although I often like to take the mick sometimes when photoshop requests come along, I do actually use it sometimes for my line of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I picked up photoshop very quickly and was doing some quite wild designs after about a month it was mainly thanks to http://www.digimods.co.uk really helpfull on there and loads of tutorials and it's all based around photoshopping cars. Oh and I think it was CS2 I used, I will start it again as soon as this damn computer arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I think it was CS2 I used, I will start it again as soon as this damn computer arrives. That's quite a good site, especially relevant for most of the requests we get on here. I had a look at it, and I thought there were going to be easy ways to do stuff that I've been doing for years, and there isn't! Oh well I'll carry on as I am then!

DamanC Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Before you "I think ill have a go at it" consider the cost, unforunately its not some £50 program you can pick up. If you do give it a go, good luck. Its a frickin knightmare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The basic car stuff that gets done is very easy to learn. The complicated photo editing with multiple layers and masks takes time and patience. If you have both of the above then you should be fine, as mentioned by one of the other posters digimods is a good site for the car related stuff. Direct link to the tutorials: http://digimods.co.uk/tutorials/tutorials.htm http://www.carwalls.com has lots of large hi res photos of cars to practice with. As you will see when working with colour changing and mods the bigger and better the qualtiy of the pciture the better for you I would also build up a folder with pics of wheels and bumpers and other parts as they are always useful to have. enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
