Photoshop Magic For Newbies!"

 

Hi, my name is...  Fabian Barajas and I have my own photography business. I shoot digital and it's no secret that I love Photoshop. I have been using it for about 5 years now. At first I was very intimidated by it. At one point, I even uninstalled it from my computer thinking I could never learn the darn thing. I eventually reinstalled it and purchased several Photoshop Books (which had more pages than I cared to count) and searched the web for lessons that I could use and easily master.

Needless to say, my search led me down many dead-end roads. Many of the tutorials were dull and boring or simply did not apply to my photography business. It was time consu- ming to search and separate the good from the bad. I wanted to take my photos to the next level. As a result, I have often times came up with my own way of doing things in Photoshop that other so-called Photoshop experts would consider unorthodox or just plain wrong. But to me, the only thing that matters is the end result.

 

Take a good look at the images you see here. I have personally edited these photos with EASY to follow techniques that you too will learn in my new video series, "Photoshop Magic For Newbies." Just imagine mastering Photoshop in less than half the time it would take you if you were reading some long boring book If you are looking for videos on, "how to straighten out a building" or something else to that effect, you have come to the wrong place. No offense, but I have chosen to create videos that portrait and wedding photographers would be interested in, especially the beginners. You see, I speak from experience. I have another website where I created Photoshop video tutorials for photographers wishing to create their own digital backgrounds. You can view the website by clicking on this link... Clipping Path Service            Many of my customers from that website have written to me asking if I am producing anymore Photoshop videos. They have seen first hand how super easy it is to learn Photoshop by watching my videos and you will too!            There is no denying, Photoshop is the most powerful photo-editing program out there. I am committed to helping you understand this program in the shortest amount of time, especially if you are a beginner. "Photoshop Magic for Newbies" consists of 10 video tutorials covering a wide variety of techniques I personally use to enhance my pictures. Here are just a few things of what you can do using "Photoshop Magic for Newbies".
