Other than the fairly basic stuff, I've struggled to get my head around Photoshop.

Getting a grip on Layers, which seems to be the hub of Photoshop, has eluded me.

Until today.

While surfing the net looking for a 'Mugs Guide to Layers', I came across this website.

Written by Steve Patterson, the tutorials are basically a step-by-step walk through, with no assumed prior skills with the program.

I can actually follow it, and am really excited to be finally using it, and seeing hoped for results.

If you, like me , have felt a little intimidated by Photoshop, these free tutorials are well worth having a look at.
