Learn Photoshop in 5 mins

This video was helpful because it cut right to all the shortcuts. For example, control N allows you to make a new document and when you double click on the background you are able to edit the document. The tutorial showed how to do shortcuts with layers and how you can combine them etc. Video taught that if you right click the photo put into the document you have the ability to rotate it, bend it, merge it etc. One can also change the colors from the side bar. Filter drop down icon hows effect the image as well. This video was helpful because the maker explains everything quickly but you can always pause the video and experiment yourself. The video did a good job explaining how to really effect the photos on the document.

Color Grading 

This video focused on color grading. It is helpful because although there is no talking in the video you can see the curser and how it walks you through the color grading. It shows you how to make the photo more vibrant and how to effect the photo by using the color bar on the right to change the tone. It also showed how to change the properties of the photo and how using certain colors brings different effects to the image. It also showed how to change saturation by clicking on the image drop down bar. Not only just saturation but lightness too and gradient looks. Very helpful for specific color grading on images. It would be more helpful if there were a narrator to help explain certain moves too but overall a good video.

Create Dramatic Black and White 

This video is specific for creating a dramatic black and white effect to the image. It showed that in order to turn a photo black and white all you have to do is go to the image drop down bar and then click calculations. The from there you can play with the blending tool. The blending tool allows you to adjust how dramatic you want the black and white effect to me. If you want it on the more intense side you would click on overlay. From there you can change source 1 and 2 to adjust where you want more light to come in on the image. This video was helpful but the narrator talked too fast and moved the curser too quickly to even pause on the video.
