The toolbar on photoshop is nice and easy to navigate around, the following tutorials will be shown using Photoshop CS3 so understandably if you are using an older version of Photoshop then some of the tools will not be present in your tool box. Those of you who are lucky enough to have CS4 you will have to explore the tools that I do not have until I can catch up with you. 

I have created a series of short videos explaining what each tool does and how it can be used. Fred is my crash test dummy of the tutorials however if you wish to know how the tool works in relation to editing images click on the the symbol below within each tool category.
