    Photoshop Tutorials from Learn2Photoshop

    Learn2Photoshop.com is a Photoshop Tutorial website that offers Adobe Photoshop tutorials making digital photographic manipulation easy and fun for everyone, from amateurs to seasoned programmers.  The creative web and game design techniques taught be these photoshop tutorials cover: teaching texturing techniques, layer effects, tilable textures, and keying green backdrops.

    5 Photoshop Tutorials from Learn2Photoshop


    1)  Texturing Techniques: The Cabinet Case-Study – Part 1

    This tutorial teaches true photo-texturing, versus the lazy-man’s way of selecting an image, resizing it, saving it and calling it texture.  This is known as (photorape).  Using a high-resolution photo image that has issues of flash spots from the camera, barrel distortion and rotation, and color inaccuracy, Part 1 of this study addresses the barrel distortion and rotation.

    2)  Texturing Techniques: The Cabinet Case-Study – Part 2

    Using the same high-resolution photo image as in Part 1, this tutorial  case study (Part 2) addresses the last problem to be fixed — flash spots from the camera, which are hard to remove and are a dead give-away for photorape.

    3)  Layer Effects Explained

    Assuming a very basic knowledge and understanding of layers and simple tools, this tutorial explain some layer effects and blending options using demos for each.  These are:  Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Outer Glow, Inner Glow, and also Bevel and Emboss 

    4)  The easiest way to make tileable textures with PhotoShop7 or above

    This is a true newby guide and the author encourages the reader to feel free to cut and paste the first image (a cropped photo of grass)  into Photoshop for actually trying out the techniques taught in the tutorial.  Here you will learn to remove tell-tale signs like seam lines between tiles using the healing brush tool.

    5)  Keying Green Backdrops (original tutorial is here)

    This tutorial is about editing photos with a green backdrop and at the end discusses editing photos with a translucent image.  In this tutorial, objects will be separated from green backdrops with precision, including learning how to mask fine strands of hair and also a translucent glass vase.  Techniques taught are identifying green areas, creating a black and white layer to represent the transparency of the image, using the channel mixer tool, adjusting the green backdrop with the Hue/Saturation Tool and removing green edge artifacts.

    Simple HTML Tutorial

    HTML is an abbreviation for HyperText Markup Language and is what is used to program web pages. It is used by placing HTML tags and codes into text (marking up the text) so that  web browsers can understand it and display it as the author has designed the page.

    Here are several methods on programming web pages with HTML:

    • using a regular text editor to write the web page content and manually place the HTML tags and code into and around the text. Not very easy for large web pages and sites. Many freeware text editors are available on the web.
    • using an HTML editor; which functions as a text editor, except the HTML tags and code are inserted around the text by using menu options and buttons. Arachnophilia is one of these tools.
    • using a word processor, such as Word or OpenOffice.org’s Writer, and saving the file in HTML format. One downside to using Word with this method, is the file will be much larger than needed and Microsoft proprietary codes will be inserted along with standard HTML.
    • using a GUI web page editor, as FrontPage or Nvu, with which you design, construct and write the web page, and in the background the application writes the HTML code for you.
    This tutorial will teach you the HTML tags and code required for developing you own web pages. You can write your web pages in a text editor using HTML code, or you can first use a GUI editor and then edit the HTML directly to tweek the way the page looks and displays. 

    Simple HTML Tutorial

    Lesson 1 - Preparation

    Lesson 2 - The Stylesheet

    Lesson 3 - Basic Tags

    Lesson 4 - Tables

    Lesson 5 - Lists

    Lesson 6 - Java
