Needless to say that Photoshop is one of the best design software and used by all design enthusiasts around the world. It lets you create amazing art and design but understanding how Photoshop work or how you can use it, can be difficult if you just getting started. If you’ve already got some skills, then you should be looking to improve it.

Note: You can follow these tutorials with any Photoshop version, but I recommend at least use CS5 or higher (if you desire to learn about 3D features). Let’s dive into the post!

Photoshop Basics

Basic tutorials are for beginners who are just exploring the way how Photoshop work. The section starts with Photoshop workspace and it will make you comfortable with Photoshop interface and panels like tools, layers, menus, adjustment layers, layer mask, colors and much more. Then you’ll learn about each of them with a comprehensive guide. Often beginners found making selection is difficult, that is why we added some selection tutorials as well. Apart from the adding basic tutorials, we’ve also included tutorials for the latest Photoshop CC.
