There are still a lot of people using Photoshop CS4 even though Photoshop CS5 has been out for some time. In the spirit of sharing, this series of downloadable lecture notes for CS4 is placed online for those who may need some help with the basics of the program. Much of the basics remain unchanged in CS5 and I believe that the original tutorial will prove useful for many of the steps of the revised Photoshop CS5, but there are minor differences sometimes.
Originally, these notes were part of the material given out with the demonstrations and lectures with my Photoshop workshops.
I am currently revising this tutorial for my workshops to reflect the changes between Photoshop CS4 and CS5, but on the urging of some of my former students I am making this material available.
