Yes
Can anyone recommend either a good online course or somewhere in Manchester areas that does Photoshop training.

I have tried with books etc but need someone to show me!

Anyone??
 
I think my problem is, I look at an image and dont know how to improve it. Does that make sense?

Even when I look at some photos that have been sharpened, to me they look the same!!!

Maybe my eyes are bad!!!!
 
photoshop is so powerful that i doubt anybody uses everything it can do. so each image must be treated on its own merit,

if you need help get in touch with me im also in bolton, in not an expert , but know enough to get me through the thing that crop up.

Cheers Steve
 
All depends what look you like I suppose, I rarely touch sharpening myself
If you like landscapes, meybe try watching videos on using filters, removing objects, dropping in new skies etc
If it's portraits, try skin softening, eye highlighting, blemish removal, levels
Theres all sorts of filters, layers, and general image manipulation for different tasks, all you need is a bit of imagination, practice, and watch "how to" videos
I enjoy creative live, so when their photoshop week was on, I watched a lot, then bought the course. I think its superb, but cant find the time to watch/practice as often as I'd like
Some tutorials on youtube are excellent too
The best thing about this way, is, for me, I can watch a wee bit over, then try, then re-watch if needed
 
For paid training I would say Kelby training is very good, $199 for 1 year subscrption.
 
Try Lynda.com, I have a subscription for work and I've learnt loads. Not just photoshop but the whole adobe suite, general photography and DSLR video etch etc.

You can access all of the thousands of videos whilst you subscribe, as long as you keep watching its a bargain.

(I've no connection with them, in fact they are a rival of ours, we do programming training so not relevant here!)
 
If you can do what Erik Johansson can do then you got it sussed :D
