I just thought I'd ask if there is anything people would specifically like a photo tutorial on, particularly with regards to using Photoshop. I am more than happy to make a few more if people tell me what they want to know about. i don't want to spend ages making a tutorial and then find everyone already knew that! LOL.

Anyway, any ideas, please shout.

Cheers,
Rob

I would like a tutorial on how to mask areas off, such as around people etc. Showing perhaps a couple of different techniques and ways to correct mistakes as you go along ... i.e. if you mask a place that you didn’t want to and don’t want to start from the beginning again.

I know how to do this myself (well one very crude method) but careful masking is definitely one of the more advanced techniques that I think everyone would benefit from knowing the choices and sneaky tips...

Funnily enough, making selections was one of the things I had in mind so I'll work on that one as soon as I can Steve :o)

I'm not sure if there is one already, but i would like a fools guide to 'Curves'. They are something i try to use but i never retain that much control and i don't really know what i am doing with them and end up throwing the gamma right out, and i can't use them very well and i find them awkward to get to grips with and struggle no end with etc. etc. etc.

I should be ashamed as i used to get paid for using photoshop....at least i've admitted it.

Ok Lol, I'll see what I can do for you on Curves. It is definitely one a lot of people shy away from as they don't quite understand it but in fact is one of the best tools in PS. I'll work on that. This will be a few days so please don't hold your breath.... you'll turn very purple!

I am currently studying for a post-graduate diploma in linguistics and I have my final exam on Wednesday 6th december. After that I'll be as free as a bird and will get a lot more of this sort of thing done :o)

Cheers,
Rob

Sounds like you have quite a bit on then Rob. Good luck with the study! I'm sure you'll do great!

this is what I would like to know...I've not even got a very bad method just when you can Rob

Thanks, Cotter

Ok, I can do that. There are lots of methods so will probably do two or three separate ones but give me the weekend and I'll get those done for you.
