What I learned from the tutorials...

(I watched them from the third video to the first... so that kinda messed me up)

From the first video, I really didn't learn THAT much, because it was so simple, but that was also the great thing about it, it explained everything I learned in much simpler terms. From the second video, I learned if you have the caps lock on, the smudge tool becomes a cross-hairs-like cursor. I learned if you hold down the control or command key then hit the plus sign or minus sign, it zooms in or out. The third thing I learned on this video is that the space bar is the shortcut to the hand tool. And from the third (and insanely long) video, I learned that the text tool, it's a vector tool. I never knew that. I also didn't know that almost all the buttons have shortcuts. That might be a handy thing to know. I also didn't know they had pre-made sort of symbols. Also something that I could have used, if I knew they were there.

Which one was most helpful? Probably the first video, it was simple, to the point, and showed how to do things that I actually would use.
Which one was most clear and easy-to-follow? First video, definitely.
Were they helpful in introducing you to Photoshop fundamentals? Yes, and no. I've already had a Photoshop class, so most of it was review, but it was a good sort of review.
Did you find any other tutorials on YouTube or elsewhere that were helpful? Nope. but I didn't look.

  1. Brittany, thank you for your specific comments with what you learned from each video. It's amazing how easy it can be to learn something fresh from reviewing material you already know.

    Thanks for your response.
