Good crash course in Photoshop for non-designer?

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good (free) crash course in Photoshop (or Fireworks) for someone who doesn't have much experience in it?

I come from a web development (coding/css) and online marketing (ppc/seo) background and haven't done much in the way of designing buttons, colour schemes for websites etc.

Things like doing gradients, using layers etc would be great.

Thanks

 

Lynda.com has great tutorials

 

Thanks - just what I was looking for!

 

+1 for Lynda.com.

Make sure to get the "One-one-One" courses, Deke McClelland is a really good teacher, he makes learning a less boring chore! ^^

But they are not free of course, unless you know where to search. *hint hint*

 

psdtuts.com and once in a while I rant about stuff like that on my blog,

 

Hello friend, there are so many online tutorials are available. You can easily learn this things. I would like to suggest you go to youtube and watch the photoshop tutorial videos. It is easy to learn fast.

Thanks

i like psd.tutsplus.com to learn by myself..., there's great tutorial for beginners to experts...

 

u should try photoshopstar.com
quiet good for learning designing..

Check out the tutorial on Gary Simon's site. I'm definitely not a designer but I was able to learn a lot. http://www.garysimon.net/how-to-make-a-website/intro
