Two Excellent Photoshop Tutorials

Here are two excellent Photoshop Tutorials from the University of Utah. These will help you get up to speed quickly using either Photoshop CS or Photoshop 7. They take you step-by-step through many important Photoshop features and functionality related to editing and manipulating images and photographs that you have downloaded from your digital camera or scanned into your computer. These two tutorials teach essentially the same features, use the one that is appropriate for your version of Photoshop.


Using Photoshop CS2 to Edit Images
(11 pages, 689 kb, pdf format)

Using Photoshop 7 to Edit Images
(11 pages, 804 kb, pdf format)


Tutorial Exercise One – Basics
For this exercise you will start with a scanned photograph and make typical kinds of adjustments. You will learn to use a variety of tools & functions including
• Crop, Measure
• Rotate
• Zoom
• Variations

Correcting the Exposure and Color Balance
When correcting for exposure and color it’s helpful to have the original picture in font of you.

Brightness/Contrast
Increasing contrast makes the light areas lighter and the dark areas darker; decreasing it makes the light areas darker and the dark areas lighter.

Tutorial Exercise Two – Retouching Photos
In this exercise, you’ll use the following Photoshop features, and then proceed to the others:
 - Crop the image
 - Straighten the image
 - Adjust the tonal rang
 - Removing a color cast (or imbalances of color)
 - Experiment with the various choices including the Tone Balance.(Shadows, Midtones, Highlights)

Replacing colors in an image
Options in the Replace Color command’s dialog box allow you to adjust the hue, saturation, and lightness components of a selected area of the image. It helps to zoom in on the area where you want to effect a change.

Sponge tool – Adjusting saturation
When you change the saturation of a color, you adjust its strength or purity. The Sponge Tool is useful in letting you make subtle saturation changes to specific areas of an image. We will use the sponge tool on the red and white stripped tarp covering the main gondola in the picture.

Dodge Tool - Adjusting lightness
Use the Dodge Tool to lighten the highlights along the gondola’s hull and exaggerate the reflection of the water there.

Clone Stamp Tool — Removing unwanted objects
Use the Clone Stamp Tool to remove an object or area by “cloning” an area of the image over the area you want to eliminate.

Replacing part of an image
The sky is fairly drab and overcast in this photograph. You will replace it with a more interesting sky from another file.

Adding Text
Adding a Layer Style (CS)
Horizontal Type Tool (ver.7)
Warp Text (CS)
Move Tool (ver.7)
Applying the Unsharp Mask filter (ver.7)
Flatten image into a single layer

The goal in this short exercise is to take a logo and make a modification to it.
