The advantage of Adobe Photoshop online courses is that you can self- study at your own pace. The lessons are strategically created so that the learner can easily master Photoshop basics and apply the previous lesson on the next one. This is the difference between an online course and a mere Photoshop guide you can find on the internet. The first obvious consideration you will have to make in choosing the online course that you are going to undertake is, of course, the version of your Adobe Photoshop. Although a greater percentage of the lessons are applicable across all versions, there are tricks and techniques that are only available in higher Photoshop versions. If you consider one technique as important, try to find out first if it can be done on the Photoshop version that you have.
Aside from that, the navigation and interface of one version can be different from the other. Nonetheless, there are online courses that encompass all versions of Photoshop. In these courses, they would label a technique that is only applicable to a single version. There are step-by-step instructions that are prepared for each different version as well.
The first lesson on most Adobe guide deals with navigating the interface. In these lessons, the learner will be acquainted with the workspace-the menu bar, status bar, toolbox, and the palette. Once you are aware of the different parts of the workspace, you will be learning how to work with a simple document. This makes it easier to Master Photoshop Basics faster. The learner will be guided around the usage of the palette, hand tool, image tools, and other basics. As soon as you get the hang of the Adobe Photoshop interface, it would be a lot easier for you to perform some simple tasks as instructed to you in the following Photoshop guide. And because you are working at your own pace, you can linger in one lesson as long as you need to.

It might be an easy one, I don’t know.
How to cut an image exactly in half, or exactly where you want, at specific pixels?
Like, having a 6MP image, which is 2000 X 3000, I want to cut it and have two separate image files. Both 2000 X 1500.
Any idea?

Thanks.

It is an easy one.

1 – Open the image and select the Marquee tool.
2 – Find the Style pulldown in the toolbar and select Fixed Size. 3 – Enter the width and height dimensions, click once in the image, and position the selection at the top of the image.
4 – Use Crtl-X to cut the top half of the image.
5 – Choose Open > New and paste the top half to the new file. Save this under a new name.
6 – Now use the Crop tool to cut what’s left of the original image down to size.
