Welcome to the Digital Photography And Photoshop Review Directory.
My name is TIM DRY and since 1991 I've been a published and exhibited professional Photographic Artist. I taught myself Photoshop in 1999 and have been exclusively using digital cameras since 2003. However, I've never been good at applying myself to reading manuals, and the one that came with my first version of Photoshop alone was about the size of a small telephone directory and I just couldn't get my creative head into it. So I had to do it the hard way, bit by bit and with a lot of trial and error. And recently I thought:
"Wouldn't it be great if there were some sites that people could go to offering products for sale that would explain stuff and show them how to do the things that they want to do, simply and without tons of baffling techno-speak?"
So, after many hours trawling across the Net, I found several good websites that do exactly that with the items that they sell. And, as pretty much everyone these days has a digital camera and wants to know how they can take great pictures with it, I've tracked down a few more sites that will show you all the tips and tricks to do that as well. Now you can save all the time you've spent on Google searching for site info because it's all here in one neat page. Cool huh?
So here is a directory of my personal favourite Digital Photography and Photoshop Tips and Tricks Websites. Enjoy, go forth and get creative!
And please feel free to email me with your comments or join up to my blog. And (surprise, surprise!) my own work in the digital domain is also available for your viewing pleasure. Just follow the links at the top of the page.
