I am currently working over another PDF guide on Photoshop, that’s why I thought it would be cool to give you the first two parts of the series. These guides are best for beginners – once you go through them you will not be scared when you open Photoshop for the first time.
The first two parts of “An Idiot’s Guide to Photoshop” series of guides explain how to use some basic tools (from How to create a new document to How to add a fake tattoo to your photo and help you to get prepared for more advanced operations.

Photoshop is an enormous universe of useful tools, many of which we don’t really care about or never use. Sometimes because we just don’t know their functions, usefulness and efficiency, sometimes it’s just because there are so many tools in Photoshop, you can’t be aware of all of them.

I hope most of you guys could afford the latest version of Adobe Photoshop. And it’s not just an update, it’s a big change in the designing process. And it’s not only about a couple of fancy tools and nice interface or something. It’s all about the Benjamins, hehe, kidding.
A favicon is a small (16×16 pixels) icon/image that is shown in the address bar to the left of your address. It is an important part of your website’s individuality. Just as logo. So don’t you underestimate it.
Photoshop changed the design industry. You can manipulate photos as much as you can and want, limited only with your capabilities. But some dudes, wanna-be-designers or just not-so-careful guys screw their projects up pretty well.
Recently, one of our customers ordered a YouTube banner for their Partner page. And I decided to prepare a tutorial for our readers on how to make a YT banner with links using Photoshop. Note that you have to be a “partner” to setup a channel banner like this.
