Hopefully the list above has opened your mind a little.

 

Maybe if you've just been used to the cool effects tutorials online,

you weren't even aware that you can do so many more things

with Photoshop than you previously thought. 

 

It's easy to get stuck in the free tutorial 'rut' online when that's

pretty much all there is seemingly available.  Free tutorials are

great but most of them don't cover these other areas if you're

at all interested in them.

 

Did you know that you can even earn a livable income with Photoshop?  But since you chose this eCourse instead, you're

probably more interested in just having fun with lots of 'tutorials'. 

 

At least now, you will be aware (if nothing else) of some of the other cool areas in which you can apply Photoshop and see if you're interested in pursuing them further or just sticking with 'free' tutorials online.

 

What I'm saying is that there is a LOT more to learn about Photoshop

than just what is offered to you online.  Photoshop holds a lot of

power with a lot of tools that maybe you just don't understand or

know how to use. 

 

People actually go to 'school' for a foundational Photoshop grounding

and education and pay a lot of money!

 

The cool effects tutorials are like the unlimited candy store but won't show you more of the 'meat' (or tofu if you're a vegetarian) of how you can apply yourself in other ways with Photoshop.

 

I want you to be aware of this power so you can decide for yourself

which route you want to go; keep getting free (yet limited in scope)

tutorials online or pursuing some other avenues of Photoshop

application that are maybe just as fun and cool or even more

important to you.

 

Perhaps you want to learn how to use Photoshop to apply what you

do to actually earn some income in the future, yet you're on an extreme budget and all you're finding is the free tutorials online which won't teach you Photoshop, just some awesome effects. 

 

This is limiting you (if this is your case), and if this is you, you'll have to go back and take the other eCourse on the front page after you're done with this one. 

 

There are other things to learn about Photoshop that will really

open your mind to the other things you can accomplish and even

combine with the techniques that you already know.  I will go into

these in more detail but for right now...let's go into the layer mask tutorial.

 

This tutorial will allow you to perfectly blend two or more images

together with a nice fade.  You can also fade to background as

well. 

 

The professionals use this technique all the time and you can learn

it fairly quickly and apply it quickly as well to achieve a very professional effect to your images.  So let's go straight to this

tutorial.
