2008 BYU Education Week has been great! However, during some slower hours of the day, I can sometimes be found sneaking off to the library to hone my photoshopping skills. At the library, there is a set of 8 discs called, "Total Training: Photoshop" by Deke McClelland.
Each one of Deke's video lessons is about 25 minutes long and focuses on only one aspect or tool of photoshop. The two examples below are my practice for lessons on "layers" and "Composites".

Additionally, here is a video of Deke "Unplugged" (a.k.a. On Speed) to give you a flavor of his personality. I must apologize for posting this when I know there are bad words in it. Just watch the first minute to see a portion without language. Isn't it always the way that the best people at anything are always the most eccentric? (Click on the TV monitor next to the play bar to make the video full screen.)
CONTAINS 4 "H-words", 1 "S-word", almost an "F-bomb" and a really bad music video remake stolen from Nada Surf.
If any of you are beginning to think about X-mas presents already, Deke's CS3 Book would be an EXCELLENT bet. The (substantially more expensive) DVD series would be even better :)
Wow, he is eccentric! Thanks for the heads up on the Christmas gift. Glad you've been enjoying Education Week.
ReplyDeleteDeke seems to be the Bill Nye of photoshopping..He definitely has skills-very entertaining! I'd think it would be fun to watch all the videos once, but then to own the book for better, easier reference!
