You know, it just never fails, never ever ever.
I get an insane desire to commemorate my extreme character-building that I endured over the weekend, dash up a magnificent poster for our front door so my kids and I will never forget the lessons learned….and whomp, during the course of the day I have to teach myself 3 new photoshop techniques, manipulate pictures for my kids’ blogs and the like.
Joy!
I’ve been hacking Photoshop now since, gosh, 1996, and let me tell you – it’s a rather superly awesome program! The best thing I’ve found about Photoshop is the plethora of free tutorials, actions, tools, plugins, brushes, shapes, gradients….you name it, almost certainly….you can find it for free and profit from it.
Hence this post! I’m procrastinating with finishing up my latest ebook (bad Barbara! Bad!) but having just finished updating Honorable Daughter I’s blog header, decided I’d write a post about making money with Photoshop instead. 🙂
Personally, I think the best way to make money with Photoshop is to blend it into the other services you offer – website design, logo design, building storyboards for your local karate dojo design, etc.etc.etc. What’s really great about Photoshop is the perceived effort it takes to create spiffy logos – what might take you 10 minutes to complete in reality will be thought to have required hours upon hours of work and effort. Instant customer admiration! 🙂
