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.

Get Adobe Flash on iPhone Without Jailbreak

Get Adobe Flash for iPhone
iPhone with Adobe Flash: Don't Jailbreak Me

Everybody wants to know how to get Adobe Flash for their Apple iPhone.

I tried playing a Facebook game on my iPhone, but received a message that I first needed to download Adobe Flash before I could play it. What a bummer!

Can my Apple iPhone Run Flash Without a Jailbreak?

Unfortunately, the main methods to get flash on your iPhone described online involve jailbreaking your iPhone. On top of that, it is not Adobe Flash, but a custom version called Frash, (which is Flash 10.1) by Comex.

Frash can be downloaded here, but again, your phone must be jailbroken first.

Disclaimer: Z.Love's Entertainment Blog does not endorse jailbreaking iPhones.

Is there a way to download Adobe Flash without jailbreaking your iPhone?

Answer: Yes. There is a way to run flash on the iPhone via two apps. One of them works well.

Proton Flash Player App
Photon Flash Player icon


Photon Flash Player for the iPhone costs $3.99 in the App Store. This app has an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars for satisfied users.

Z.Love's Blog Recommends Photon Flash Player [and was not paid to say this].

Skyfire Web Browser also claims to run flash. It costs $2.99 in the App Store, but has many bad reviews from people that say "do not waste your money on this."

The Apple iPhone in a World Without Adobe Flash

Apparently, Apple predicted that they would rule the future -- a future without Adobe Flash. Until Adobe Flash is willing to fork over big bucks, they will have to stick with other smart phones. I would argue that the iPhone needs to be smarter.

Many blogs and websites on this very subject argue that flash is mainly used in banner ads, and perhaps our online experience (via an iPhone) is better without having to see all the flash-based ads in cyberspace.

Is Apple justified in not allowing Adobe Flash on their precious iPhone?

I think it was just a power play. "Let's Keep This Thing Proprietary and Make Tons of Money" sort of thing.
