DPS has tons of information under the 'Post Production' Section the site. For more in depth lessons, I typically go to Kelby Training (requires a $24/month subscription fee).

I am sure there many other options but this is the site I mostly use.

...There is aways youtube.

Hope this helps.

Hi Melody:

Adobe’s site is very good and free. Simply click on the “?” (help) symbol at the top right side of the menu and go online for tutorials. Learn Photoshop CS5: Getting Started and tutorials

There are also forums: Adobe Forums: Forum: Adobe Photoshop

Russell Brown’s site, with lots of videos, is superb: Tips Page

There are plenty of website that will help to learn Photoshop and create effects for your photos. I would personally recommend photoshoptutorials.ws . They have a very good collection of free PS tutorials.

I would be very surprised if you can't find everything you're looking for and more on Youtube... definitely worth a look.

i think i learned most of that stuff from magazines (but that's obviously the more expensive way to do it)

Do you have an itouch/iphone or other device that can capture and watch podcasts??
Then Photoshop Killer Tips
Each episode is only a couple of minutes long so you get quick little bites. You can watch it on your computer too. But it's great to load a couple hundred then watch them when you get a break no matter where you are...

Well I would like to recommend you 'Photoshop classroom in a book' is an excellent resources to have in front of you. It covers everything.
For quick tips my favourite is a pod cast called 'Photoshop killer tips'. it has lots of quick video (around 2-3 minutes) that show you great shortcuts and quick lessons for using Photoshop. And also try this website.

I'm hopeless at reading books, find it very frustrating. So I looked through YouTube and I was amazed at how many lessons you can get with someone actually going through it as you watch. Show me & I can learn real quick, if I read it I'm confused, Try it !! I am always typeing in a tool I'm not familier with and hey presto someone will show you. & Like the others said in previous posts just Google it and you'll see heaps of sites like Adobe who gives free lessons ect

Lynda.com and Kelby training are awesome but they cost a monthly subscription. I use Lynda personally butI don't have an account anymore because I finished watching all the relevant training I was interested in.
