Do You Need Free Photoshop Help?

Source: Quickmeme.com

Are you in search of free Photoshop help?

A common question I encounter online is:  "I need Photoshop help" with various projects.

Such projects include:
-Photo manipulation: adding a person to, or taking a person out of photos
-Backgrounds for social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube)
-Avatars or logos for social media accounts
-Custom memes 
-Special projects

I Need Free Photoshop Help, but Where?

Many people turn to Twitter or Craigslist to seek out someone with Photoshop skills, but one has no idea the quality of the work of people that contact you on these venues. You could literally get free help from a middle school child and not know until you receive the product.

Some people post their job on freelancer.com or other freelance sites, and the end result is a person in a third world country performing a Photoshop job for very little money. It is possible that the job is done right, but there is no guarantee.

And then there are the internet trolls.

What is an internet troll, you ask?

An internet troll is a person that "sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people on purpose."

There are many people that would love to intentionally do a bad Photoshop job for you, just so they could teach you a lesson to not use Photoshop, or perhaps another illogical reason.  They get their kicks from hurting others, and there is no way of knowing when you will come across an internet troll.

This is the downside of looking for free internet help.

Many People Want to Learn Photoshop Rather than get free Help


There are many tutorials that offer Photoshop help to those wanting to learn, such as "Learn Photoshop in Under 25 Minutes" at lifehacker.com. The biggest obstacle that many people face is the lack of Photoshop software.  There are alternatives, including a popular alternative called GIMP.  But there are also many tutorial videos on YouTube for both Photoshop and GIMP software to learn the key features of the software.

The number one hotkey that a Photoshop expert uses is CTRL + Z to undo the last action performed in the software.

The biggest hurdle to new people getting Photoshop is the monthly fee. It costs $9.99 a month for the basic Photography subscription, and that does not include the cloud storage. The next tier up is the Single App subscription for $19.99 a month, which includes 20 GB of cloud storage. The next tier up is the Complete subscription, which adds more, and finally the Complete with Adobe Stock subscription package, which grants a 40% reduction on Adobe stock. 

Why would anyone want to buy Adobe stock? 

Great question.
