Okay, I've been using flash for the last 6 or 7 years, and decided to try photoshop, and I can't do a thing in it. I check 'the artist corner' for tutorials, to no avail. The google tutorials I find seem to be about doing absurd things that I have no interest in(right now). To give you an example, I spent about 5 hours last night trying to figure out how to make a solid line with the brush tool. I tried ungodly amounts of settings, to no avail.
Is there a tutorial that is like literally written for 5 year olds that doesn't assume you have knowledge of the inner workings of it?
I don't know about tutorials, but I can solve your line problem:
Solid line with the brush tool - first create a vector path using the line tool. Then right-click and "stroke path" and select "brush" when the dialog box comes up.
Other than that, Photoshop for Dummies?
Feral on
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
They have videos of guys making things, like painting cars from scratch. Look at one of those videos and 'pause' it when the select a tool. Repeat in your photoshops.
There are a lot of video tutiorals on the youtubes dot coms. Those might be easier for you then books cause you can see in realtime what they are doing while you have your photoshops in the background and can follow along.
You know what they need? They need a "Bob Ross" type of show, but instead of on TV on the internet and instead of using paint and canvas they should use Photoshop. That would rock.
