I've done a second photoshop tutorial, and I'm back to see if this one is better? I changed some things

Ok, I took your opinions, and now I've done another tutorial, click on the 2nd tutorial on this page to see the updated one. Please give any more opinions you might have.

Click on the tutorial link and tell me what you think? I've never tried to do tutorials before, and was wondering how this went.

I know it is a little jerky. . .

Calculations is a lot better for converting to B&W most of the time.

You mean by the numbers? I've not mastered that one yet if that is what you mean. I went to a photoshop conference in Missouri a few years ago, and there was a guy there that was color blind, but could color correct by the numbers if that is what you are talking about.

In the Image menu, click Calculations.

Play with that. You can get better contrast, etc. in there usually.

I see that the calculations are all in the channels. I've got alot to learn in this area. I just ordered Kelby's new book on channels. . .

Kelby's a great guy. I like his writing style too.

BTW I do like whatever software it is use used for the tutorial - recording what's going on and having the notes and what not - kinda cool.

I put up a quick tutorial for some people over at TFNN that wanted to know how I edited some pictures that a member had posted but it's just all written out with screenshots.

this is the method i've come to use as well for B&W.
regarding the tutorial itself, I think when you say "click on such and such" your tutorial arrow (not the mouse/cursor itself), should point to where you are directing. for instance, in the first step "In your layer box, select create new fill...", your yellow arrow is pointing down, but it would be better if it pointed to where the hand/finger is pointing.
 
Damn, I wish I had tutorials like this when I was learning. Nice job, keep it up...I'm sure a lot of people will be happy to see something that actualls walks you through it.

I'm currently working in a professional setting doing retouching and color correction for photographers (after quitting the web-based and business graphics sect). If you have any questions or want to shoot the sh!t about this kind of thing, I'm here. 🙂

 
Personally when I need to convert grayscale I usually use Image > Adjust > Hue/Saturation with colorize selected. You can do pretty niffty sepia type effects. And you can always play with the curves (before or after) to get better contrast.

Of course this is a destructive method but I always version my graphics so no worries.
 
The tutorial animation thing is kinda cool, I'd like to know how you did it. The tutorial itself though, is so simplistic that you could have expressed the same thing in one or two sentences of text.

Cool...I am a photographer 😉

I do my own work however. But I'm sure there are things to learn from each other.

My next thing to mess around with is HDR images in CS2.

Ever used a program called Bibble? I've been starting to use it lately to mass-process images (levels and related adjustments, as well as size, format, quality, etc.) from weddings and the like for proofing. It's unbelievably easier than running things through Photoshop actions, though you don't get the added benefit of custom masking, unfortunately. I'm still quite new with it, though...any experience?

Never heard of it. I do RAW conversions and then do processing in Photoshop.
