Thanks everyone, what is a good way to learn like basic editing, i have tried loking on youtube and a little on google but im still coming up with nothing.

 

I've learned a lot from youtube videos. You just have to know what to search for. If you are looking for car editing type in something like "car photoshop" portraits type in "portrait photoshop" if you are looking to learn a certain style like vintage type in "vintage photoshop" also google can help you find tons of tutorials online to help.

 

See i was typing in car editing and it was people on paint changin their car color and givin it rims and stupid ish like that.

Just look through the pages, you can find some interesting stuff. I've been using Photoshop since 7.0 came out, which was back in 2004 I believe haha. It's all about trial and error.

 

Wow, I'm impressed. A thread on TR with helpful data and no drama.

Another little word of advice is, really get a feel for your cameras settings. I don't know what camera you have, but even if it's a point and shoot I know several of them have lots of settings. By playing with them you can learn what different settings will do to the picture. I learned a lot playing with the ISO and white balance on my Sony point and shoot, which then helped me with my SLR camera.

 

Just to add to that -- read the damn manual!! lol. It may be B&W and boring to read but it will give you ALOT of information on your camera and taking photos itself.

 

^ Very good point! First thing I did with when I got my XTI was read the manual. There is a lot to learn in there.
