PHOTOSHOP BASIC

Welcome to the page of free tutorials to learn the essential tools of Photoshop!

If you're taking your first steps into the world of image editing, you've come to the right place.


Often, I receive messages from people just starting with Photoshop, asking about how to perform certain tasks, such as using an overlay with a black background or installing actions... things like that. Others express their interest in following my tutorials but admit to being still novices in Photoshop and they can't follow everything. These are the reasons why it occurred to me to create this free mini-course to help with the basics.


Here, you'll find a series of free videos where I'll guide you through the key tools I commonly use in Photoshop. This course doesn't cover every aspect of Photoshop, which would be both impossible and unnecessary. Impossible because, like anyone, I don't know every tool and feature this software offers, and unnecessary because, typically, we tend to use the same tools in photo editing and photomontage. I'll focus on explaining the ones I personally use most frequently. This way, you won't face any issues following the rest of the tutorials if you're already familiar with these tools. It will also help you follow tutorials from others and continue exploring and experimenting on your own in Photoshop.


The goal of these introductory videos is to provide you with a clear and straightforward understanding of the fundamental tools. I understand that explaining them in every video can become repetitive, so I've created these free resources for you to familiarize yourself with them in advance. The idea is that once you feel comfortable with these tools, you can make the most of my more advanced tutorials without wasting time. I hope you find these resources helpful!

The audio is in Spanish, but don't forget that YouTube gives you the possibility to have subtitles in any language. Just select 'Settings' at the bottom of the window, then 'Subtitles', and make sure to enable the 'Automatic translation' option. Then, choose the language you want to translate the subtitles into.
