April 29th, 2010

Posted by admin in learn photoshop | Comments Off

If the thought of learning Photoshop through textual tutorials make you snore, you might find tutorial videos more interesting. There are lots of tutorials available on CD-ROM and DVD formats and thousands of single-lesson video clips you can view online or download to watch later. Many of these videos are taught by a human trainer and while the videos are designed to guide you step-by-step, you can always skip lessons and jump from one clip to the next.

Here are a few you might want to take home:

PhotoshopSecrets for Wacom Tablets & Photoshop
This is a great Photoshop video tutorial if you are a tablet user. Currently, this is probably the most comprehensive, allowing you to learn how to use all the tools and features available with Adobe Photoshop. This tutorial video is authored and taught by Colin Smith and Weston Maggio of Photoshopcafe and Wacom Technology, respectively. Both are experienced trainers so you’ll find the lessons well-paced and relevant.

This DVD ROM tutorial has more than 120 minutes of 800×600 video. It’s easy to navigate and you can click on any lesson you like without any trouble while still controlling the playback.

Learn about 3D lathing, liquid splashes, CS branding, pixel stretching, thermal vision, toxic waste and lots more. These are cutting-edge effects, the kind you find in more advanced Photoshop users’ works so you might want to try it out for yourself.

This course helps you become familiar with each lab question and its solution. This training is also good for the CCIE Service Provider lab exam candidates who have failed the lab exam more than once. Our statistics show that over 95% of them will pass the lab exam after they finish this course.  http://www.cathayschool.com/

You will study with your instructor one-on-one during the duration of training. Step by step, our highly skilled instructors will show you the best way to configure each full-scale lab and strengthen your weaknesses as they are identified.

Before you finish this course, you will be provided a full set of our full-scale lab materials which are almost identical to the most current lab exam. The materials contain CCIE Service Provider Boot Camp questions, and requirements and solutions, which can be comfortably studied and practiced during the period between your course finishing date and the lab exam date.

Schedule of events:
Student instruction is conducted privately with one-on-one tuition, so you have the freedom to begin from almost any date of the year.

Also, your instructor will show you how to avoid some common errors based on the testing experience of hundreds of our previous students.

Day 7 ~ Day 12:
During the remaining days of your training you will be required to go over, and complete all the labs once again by yourself. Your instructor will sit next to you and provide assistance only when necessary. At the end of each day, he or she will grade and correct your configurations and summarize your daily work – giving you helpful suggestions for future exam preparations.

1 month after class support (could be upgraded to 3 months)

On the last date of your course, you will be provided with the study materials which contain the most updated full-scale labs which have not been practiced during the course. These materials reflect the latest update of the real lab exam and come with complete solutions.
