Any Decent Photoshop Video Tutorials?

[CoastalRush]

I'm new to photoshop and I need to get started quickly (not that I'm a whole newbie to this sphere, I've been using video editing software/DAWs for quite some time now, so I have a general idea of how this works). The thing is, I need it for creating some abstract artworks/covers and stuff, not gonna work with photos. Yet the tutorials on Photoshop I come across are all about this photographers stuff. I don't wanna know how to set up my camera which I don't have, I don't wanna know how to work with RAW images and all that. Don't they have a tutorial for the likes of me?

Hi there....

There are a lot of tutorials online and within the forum to start you on your way. And what you'll find covers all aspects of photoshop - not just for photographers.

This covers a broad range of subjects. I see you need tutorials for creating abstract artwork..... Will these interest you?

I also read that you're a newbie to Photoshop. You'll have to learn the basics first in order to understand the tools and capability of Photoshop.

What PS version are you using?

Thanks, these might come in handy.

If your NOT working with photos, why use PS? You might think of using Illustrator to create vector images. Are you competent with pen tool ? If you are you can create many different types of abstracts.
