Photoshop Tutorials

For those of you who do not know, there are a great many of tutorials available online for free or for pay. I would strongly suggest to any of you who are only minimally familiar with Photoshop that you subscribe to Lynda.com It is a subscription service and does cost $25/month, but it is well worth that just for the basics. I suggest starting with the Basics tutorial and then checking out the Photoshop CS3 for Photographers section. You may want to team up with someone to split the cost. It's well worth the price, even if you only have it for the next month. There are other students who have used this so they may be able to give you an impartial testimonial. (If you have used Lynda.com or any other tutorial site, please comment to this post so that others get a better idea of where to go for help.)

PSDTuts - the photo effects section is huge and it contains plenty of useful stuff...along with some really cheesy stuff too. scroll down to "previous entries" and see all the stuff they've posted in the past.

PhotoshopRoadMap
- not as clean a site as psdtuts but still full of useful information. the blog section has a lot of stuff too.

PSDLearning - more of a graphic design based site but still it's pretty nice. there's more photo based stuff under the "photo effects" section.

Andy and I will be posting more links as we go along.
