Have you decided to venture in the world of image editing? Decided, but don’t know how?

Photoshop can be quite difficult, if you throw yourself at it without preparation. You’ve probably got no clue how everyone gets that wizardry done, because you don’t know head from tail in that maze of buttons and filters!

Don’t despair, because MakeUseOf will be your guide in this intricate, yet magical world.

We’re proud to present An Idiot’s Guide To Photoshop, the starter’s manual for every Photoshop initiate to carry! This guide starts right at the very bottom, assuming no knowledge at all, and walks you through all basic aspects of the application. The guide even comes with three full pages of shortcuts, cheat sheets covering all the application’s possibilities!

Let MakeUseOf’s own Karl Gechlik from AskTheAdmin guide you throughout the different editing possibilities in 30 illustrated pages, and get you to know your paint bucket from your eraser.

Are you watermouthed yet? Got itchy fingers and want to get busy?

This is a great iPhone application that allows you to view your google docs on your phone.

You may say but I can already view my google docs on my phone. Well I say this is better. Below you see an example of viewing a document through the google iphone option

Now here is the same document with Mighty Docs.

This is a free application but the most important feature of the program is once you open the document it is cached. You can view it anywhere even if you do not have an internet or wifi connection. If you live in an area with dead spots (like my apartment) this can be very helpful.
