A Few FAB Photoshop Tipsby *Pau-Norontaus

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Photoshop

I'm thinking of teaching my schoolmates a few things about PS, and as I was pondering on the best tips, I thought I might share them with you all.
It's funny how un-ergonomically (is that a word?) people often use Photoshop.
I've spent a few months at companies where I had to manipulate hundreds of photos quite quickly,
and learned that PRODUCTIVITY is the key.
And it's usually oh so easy to improve.

Anyways, it's kinda like a tutorial I guess.
Hope you can make use of it : D

GAH I KNEW I forgot something....
Also: C = crop tool
cmd + I = invert colour
shift + cmd + I = invert selection

i plannin to buy a new tablet in birthday so may i ask what kinda of a tablet you recomend ?

*Pau-Norontaus Apr 13, 2013 Student General Artist

Depends on how much money you have : D
I work with a large Intuos4, but I was happy with my medium Bamboo Fun as well.
If I had the extra cash, I'd invest in an Cintiq.

i have 79.79$ so what suits me ?

*Pau-Norontaus Apr 13, 2013 Student General Artist

You could prolly get a decent Bamboo with that, check the store: [link]
My Intuos was about 500€, and a Cintiq would be closer to 2000€
There are likely cheaper ones as well, but I personally trust in Wacom products.

Hey, I try to use photoshop when I draw digitally (thank you for these tips, by the way) but the lines I draw always look shaky and horrible. I can draw smooth lines traditionally, but it's really hard for me on the computer. I've heard that you shouldn't blame it on the tablet... do you think this is a problem with my sleight of hand? Maybe the brush tool I'm using? Is there a command I should be doing to smooth the lines out? Anyway, it might just be that I need practice. What do you think? (thanks for your time)

I noticed my lines improving when I upgraded from ye olde PS7 to the Creative Suite series.
Same with moving from an A5 Bamboo tablet to an A4 Intuos one. The nib of the pen also
varies: I love the ones with springs. So I'd say the tools do matter O____-
There aren't any 'brush steadying' adjustments in PS as far as I know, but I've heard SAI has.
I'd say: find the tools that you prefer and practice. Practice practice practice : D
I use my tablet 24/7 as a mouse, so I'm very used to coordinating with it.
