Seeking Photoshop workflow dvd/book/website recommendations

[ChuckZ]

I'm hoping to improve my Photoshop workflow skills.  Eventually I will be able to afford to attend a workshop, but for now I am hoping to find sources of information costing under $200.  I'm familiar with raw conversion, adjustments layers, masking, etc but figure it would be useful to know how the professions use these tools.  At this point, tmelive.com (The Mindful Eye) has been a great resource but I'm guessing there might be other sources out there.  Thanks, Chuck

Have you migrated to the Luminous-Landscape store and looked over all those fabulous DVDs which Michael and Jeff have produced? Follow what they tell you and you'll be in great shape, and they aren't expensive - by a long-shot. Best value I've seen anywhere.

I suggest that you take a look at Lynda.com. For very little money, you have access to a ton of video tutorials regarding many different applications, including Photoshop.

Yeah, but as far as I can recall Lynda a subscription service and you can't download and keep the stuff on your own hard drive for future reference. You have access as long as you pay the subscription. With L-L videos - your's to keep indefinintely, and much of this instruction remains valid for a long time.

If you use Firefox and install this add-on, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006, then you can download the videos and keep them.

Otherwise, the video tutorials can be purchased on DVD from Lynda.com and kept just the same as here at LuLa.

Ah - how helpful! Thanks for that.

The Lynda DVD purchase option must be more recent than several years back when I was looking over their service - at the time it wasn't an option. I see their pricing ranges between 50 ~ 150 dollars per product - so costlier than LuLa, but quite a substantial variety.

Looks like they have very reasonably priced videos, but didn't see anything regarding Photoshop workflow beyond raw processing.  They have some good stuff for Lightroom tho.

 The "Camera to Print" video may have content you could use. Check it out.

Luminous-Landscape "From Camera to Print" is a complete reference of in-depth information.  In November of 2009 I attended the Zion Summit Digital Printing Workshop sponsored by Alain Briot, Uwe Steinmueller and Mac Holbert.  Mac and J.P Capanigro have a DVD in production titled "Fine Art Digital Workflow" ($59 preorder) covering the essential concepts and some great techniques. Look for it at -

BTW, the Zion Summit was great, I highly recommend it!
