I'd be down for this, would appreciate recorded walk-throughs though since I'm not always online.

I'm pretty much a noob with PS, I can do some stuff out of necessity but it takes me a while since I have to pull out a youtube tutorial first. The amount of things that you can do with PS overwhelms me lol, I'm amazed at people who can do this on the fly.

Learning to use Photoshop now. I've been using After Effects for work for years but never bothered to really learn Photoshop for whatever reason. Doing the Lynda fundamentals course hehe

Ok I've had a very busy last two weeks but I'm hoping to get in some PS time over the next two. I'll be hitting up lookoutawhale @lookoutawhale and @MasatoToys any day now.

Alright, I'm in my TMNT Gi/PJs. So we can do this via chat or I can make this thread go live and others who want a tutorial in the future can follow along, your call sea mammal.

Lets just walk through a poster of any sort, if the one that Masato Toys @Masato Toys did is a reasonable start then at least we have a clear finish line. It doesn't have toi be exact but I want to learn things like different fonts, gradients, template size and all that good stuff.

k so after saving that poster or right clicking on it and going to properties it shows that the size is

647 width x
951 height

So in Photoshop go to:

FILE -> NEW and type in those numbers for the width and height.

Resolution will be 72 since that is the standard for internet graphics.

Background contents - Transparent.
