"Become a master of PTU in three minutes". "Master nine matting methods in ten minutes". "Minute get double exposure effect". Such information can always be seen everywhere. Many people will ask if they can learn PS in a month. How long can I photoshop the picture as I please?
Photoshop is not crash. Only repeated practice and precipitation are required. If you want to learn it in a few minutes, I suggest you just think about it. It is impossible to photoshop the picture at will without some hard practice.
As for how long you can master Photoshop skillfully, this varies from person to person. It varies according to the direction we specialize in and the time we spend. Moreover, proficiency is a vague word. It can be only superficial, can be mastered carelessly, or can be mastered through a comprehensive study and handy.
1. Getting started: It will take about a month to get started. At this time, you can simply retouch the picture.
2. Proficiency: About half a year, the general picture can be fixed at will. The creative ideas in my heart can also be roughly made.
3. Being skillful: About two years of precipitation and accumulation. At this time, it is easy to retouch or create pictures.
To learn Photoshop, you only need to remember three words: step by step, persistence and interest.
1. To Advance Step by Step
Advancing step by step is the first challenge for beginners. Everyone wants to create amazing pictures from the beginning, but PS is a gradual learning process that requires one step at a time. From the installation of Photoshop to the opening and closing, to the initial understanding of the interface, to various menus, to the usage of each tool in the toolbox, to the selection and selection, layer, palette, color mode, filter, channel, mask, path, shape, text, to the edition of pictures, creative synthesis, animation, etc. This is also a gradual learning process. Just like we build a house starting from the foundation, let us expand our Photoshop skills step by step. Remember that in this process, we should be free from arrogance and rashness, and we should do it step by step.
2. Persistence
Persistence is another challenge that beginners need to overcome. Two hours a day, or two hours in five days a week, or one hour a night. You must have enough time to ensure your study before you can improve steadily.
Persistence has another meaning, that is, for each knowledge point, first learn initially, then practice with examples. Then persist in repeated practice and precipitation.
Finally, persistence means that in the process of learning Photoshop, no matter whether you have smooth road or occasional setbacks, you should persist in learning. Don't give up easily.
3. Interest
Interest is the most critical factor in learning Photoshop well. Only when you are really interested in something can you learn it well. Just like only when you really like a person will you try every means to understand him/her. Therefore, it is relatively easy to learn Photoshop, but to learn it well, you still need to have some interest in it.
