What are some good photoshop Tuturial sites?

[koven]

I put it in this section because I'm looking for the opinions of professional or semi pro photographers.

I'm pretty good with processing but everything I've learned is from trial and error so im sure there is a lot of stuff im missing. I'll probably take a class when I have the time.

I have my own style but I'm trying to perfect that commercial look so if there are any tutorials on the net that any of you guys know about please post them.

p.s. I know lighting a lot to do with how this pic looks.

I have a couple of Photoshop tutorials that I wrote and posted on my website. I need to add a lot more, but for now I have tutorials on how to use Curves and how to dodge and burn with adjustment layers.

Curves

Adjustment Layers

I will answer this indirectly. When I was learning I found that most tutorial sites had limitations or assumed knowledge I did not have or in some cases assumed that I was using a version of PS that I did not have. The best way of learning was to follow instructions step by step on my computer so this could be a problem when this happened as if I was using an older version (as is usually the case) my PS could not do everything that the tutorial suggests in some instances. So I often used various sites depending on which one I found most useful / understandable for a particular editing task. You may find the same - use various sites and look for tips and tricks. Also in PS there is usually more than one way to achieve any edit but most people - including those who run the sites have their own preferences. Using several sites alerts you to different approaches to the same editing problem so you learn more. A final comment on my preferences. I tend not to do everything in layers all the time. Yes this has some advantages and is indispensible if you are a graphic artist who may need to come back to rework an image over an over. But most photo editing tasks are simpler and don't need so much use of layers. I certainly use layers for some tasks but will usually flatten them as soon as I am happy with the result. This reduces complexity. I mention all of this because I found these approaches to be useful and hope it might help you.

The college I'm attending has an IP subscription with http://www.lynda.com/ and they have a wonderful amount of tutorials ranging from Business, Design, Photography, and Web.

From what I remember, their subscription service is around $25 a month.

Each subject is organized into 3-10 minute videos and you also have an option for a transcript of the entire tutorial.
