Here are some basic tutorials, but to get the full range you will have to pay, but they might give you a good start!

You can sign up for a 7-day free trial account here & have access to all the tutorials (bar the exercise files). Just make sure you set aside plenty of time to view the videos!

Re: Photoshop Tutorials?

By far the most useful thing I have used is the video CD tutorials that are included with Digital Photo magazine. Over a 12 month subscription you will learn a lot about Photoshop...

Re: Photoshop Tutorials?

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions - most helpful indeed.
I particularly like Tracymae's Worth 1000....
Most tutorials I have looked at are more focused on learning / using photoshop. What I really like about Worth 1000 is that there are some cool images on there and the author takes through how they created them. So many times I see amazing images that make me think "how?" - the raspberry frog is such an example.

Re: Photoshop Tutorials?

I recommend...

Computer Arts Computer Arts - 2D & Photoshop
Smashing Magazine Tutorials | Smashing Magazine

A fairly good range of skill levels covered if you take the time to browse each site!
