Stuck in a Photoshop
Beginner's Rut?

"Being an experienced Photoshop user, I wish I had this book 2 years ago; if I had, I would've been taught a year's worth of knowledge in less than an hour compared to surfing the Internet and finding useless tutorials getting me nowhere. A must have for all Photoshop users."

James Markey, www.jambotron.co.uk

Do You Have the Painful Experience of Being Stuck in Photoshop?

Fellow Photoshopper,

As a beginner in Photoshop, it is common to be overwhelmed by the steep learning curve of this sophisticated software. Do you often wonder how other users create pieces after peices of amazing art while you struggle to follow one of those step-by-step "how to create fire in Photoshop" tutorials?

Let me tell you my experience. As the chairman of the Computer club at my school, I often teach my members how to use Photoshop.

One day, a member suddenly asked, "How do I create a new document in Photoshop?" That question really surprised me and I felt saddened by the fact that many Photoshop beginners are not users at all. They are just replicators -- they only know how to follow instructions to achieve a certain objective.

Let's turn the focus on you now. Are you a Photoshop user or a "copying machine"? Do you know how to create just about anything desired with Photoshop, or do you only follow instructions?

Imagine if you could create just about any graphic that is required. Website banners? No problem. Buttons? Piece of cake. What about splash images or wallpapers or corporate logos? Done before you can say " I love Photoshop". What if you could say "yes, I'm at that level of expertise" to all the above examples?

Actually, the above scenarios are all perfectly achievable. You can do it! The key is in actually learning the tools of Photoshop, not learning the "instant chrome" or "amazing plasma" or "supernova" or "realistic thunder" trash that are bloating Photoshop portals on the Internet.

If you would like to be able to

  • create any image on demand
  • design banners, templates, buttons from scratch

And you believe in the fact that learning Photoshop (and not the "instant effects tutorials") is the way to achieve this, let me show you the way.

Rather than Asking for Gold Bars from Midas, Why Not Ask for His Finger?

There are many tools that the programmers of Photoshop have built for your use. When you acquire Photoshop, you actually have a set of tools that you can unleash to create images -- any image that you desire.

The reason that Photoshop is such a versatile software -- it can be used to correct photographs, design interfaces and templates, and so on -- is that it has a very powerful arsenal of tools.

How nice would it be if you could visualise an image in your mind and straightaway put it on the Photoshop canvas? How about if you could fulfill any request that a client makes? You do have the tools. Now, all you need is the knowledge.

How to Actually Use Photoshop

The key in unlocking your unlimited potential and Photoshop's powerful abilities is your knowledge. That is, how much you can achieve with Photoshop is only limited by your imagination and your knowledge of the tools in Photoshop.

If you want to stop getting stuck in Photoshop and start unleashing your unlimited potential with Photoshop, you have to learn the basic functions of the tools in Photoshop. Only then could you move on to create graphics at your own will and understand even more advanced functions in Photoshop.

It is for this very reason that I have written The Practical Photoshop Starter's Guide.

The Photoshop Starter's Guide

The Practical Photoshop Starter's Guide covers the very basics of Photoshop -- just what you need. Once you grasp these basics, you can start creating images that you want and not limited by the effects that the step-by-step tutorials teach. You will be your own teacher and learn Photoshop the right way.

With the Practical Photoshop Starter's Guide, you will be able to

  • learn how to make Photoshop really work for you
  • grasp the basics of every useful tool in Photoshop

Best of all, with only 34 pages, you will be able to finish it very quickly. Please don't misinterpret the minimal number of pages; I have condensed my working knowledge of Photoshop so that you can "get it" in the least number of sentences, and therefore in the shortest time. However, rest assured that I write in complete sentences in the ebook :)

At this point, I would like to invite you to take a look at the ebook itself. Please download the sample chapters and see if I practise what I preach. I'll wait for you while you go fetch and read it.

Finished? If you've read the sample chapters, you will find that it really helps you to grasp the uses and methods of each tool in Photoshop. With this knowledge, you can start your own journey of exploration in Photoshop. You are not groping in the dark, struggling to do simple procedures in Photoshop anymore.

Instead, you are exploring the new frontiers and possibilities that are now wide open to you. With firm knowledge of the powerful tools in Photoshop, you will be able to do what I just promised: Create any images that you want. Make any graphic that you can imagine. This is all possible because you now know how to make Photoshop work for you.

You have just read the sample chapters and you are already expanding your abilities of Photoshopping. The sample chapter only contains information on how to

  • Set Up the Photoshop Interface (Chapter 1)
  • Work with Layers (Chapter 2)

Yet, you already have a vast ability of finally being able to work with Photoshop.

What if you could learn these too?

  • Working with Text
  • The Brush Engine in Photoshop
  • The Pen Tool
  • Colour & Alpha Channels

These are the actual chapters of the complete ebook, the Practical Photoshop Starter's Guide. By reading the remaining chapters that are only available in the complete version of the ebook, you will be able to unlock more of your unlimited potentials in Photoshop. You will be able to effortlessly lead Photoshop by the nose and make it toil for you.

Music to your ears? Wait till you hear this. While many so-called training software and Photoshop books are priced from $30.00 to astronomical prices, this ebook is dirt cheap. Priced at only $10.00 (USD), you will be able to get the ebook just by paying the price of two lunches.

Just to further convince you, please take a sneek peek at this excerpt from the "The Pen Tool" chapter.

Pen Tool introduction

Notice how you already know how to use the Pen Tool which is feared like the plague by most Photoshop beginners?

Satisfied Readers Say:

Every Photoshop user should know and understand the basics. I used to think I was beyond "the basics" of Photoshop but after reading your book I could clearly see how much I was missing. The book is so easy to understand and gives such great information that every Photoshop beginner should have a copy.

Dan Gronitz, www.dmgdd.com


I teach raw beginners - most of my students have never seen Photoshop and their decision is between doing the work themselves or taking it to a store for processing. I find that the book continues from where I left off so I feel quite strongly that it is a good introduction to the workings of Photoshop.

Robert Macaulay, Ontario, Canada


Begin Photoshop with out the hours of web searching. Easily understandable, and loaded with information about Photoshop that you should always need.
