Photoshop Tutorial 1

A tutorial on photoshop:

Summary
Three of the most basic the tools that will be introduced for new photoshopppers who know nothing about photoshop.

Tutorial
Photoshop is an incredible tool for those who know how to use it and can create everything 2D that has something needed to be removed, has something to be changed, or just general improvements. There are many tools in photoshop. Some are the weapons of experts, while some are the friends of the beginner. Whatever way you look at it, these are your baseline.

Tools are stationed at the left of your screen and are comprised of a myriad of tools. There is one thing you may notice - there is a black triangle in the bottom right of the tool icon. This shows that there are more than one tool on the icon. To chooose between these, you can right click (for Windows, command click for Mac) or hold click on the icon and the options should pop out pretty quickly. Because of this, many new users will miss out on a lot of important features. Also, there is a letter next to the tool. This will select the tool, however the letter usually only applies to the tool on the icon that was used last. To start off I will give the essential tools.

Tools

 * Brush/Pencil - The eighth icon from the top, this is the basic drawing tool and its shortcut is b


 * Eraser - The eleventh icon from the top, this erases parts from the pictur/drawing/whatever and its shortcut is e


 * Gradient/Paint Bucket - the paint bucket does what is normally doea and the gradient essentially is just paint with multiple colours at once (although that's not the real definition) and its shortcut is g

Conclusion
You may have noticed I only put 3 tools in this tutorial, but that is because this one is designed for beginners and I will go from beginners to intermediate then finally to tutorials that teach you how to do something not theory.
