How to start with photoshop #3 - editing tools (photoshop tutorial series for beginners)

Here is the third episode of photoshop tutorial for beginners that is aimed at photographers and explains basic photoshop tools and functions from a practical point of view based on actual photos. The idea is to help anyone who is getting started with photoshop and make this program appear a bit less intimidating. In this episode I am discussing the editing tools, which are: healing brushes, brush tools, clone stamp tools, history brushes, eraser, gradient tool, blur, sharpen and smudge tools, and lastly dodge, burn and sponge tools. This video is not meant to be in-depth tutorial on each of those tools, rather than a practical introduction that offers enough information for performing photo editing. Some of photoshop tools are more complex and some are more used than others so I will be creating separate videos on photoshop tools that I use the most in my day-to-day photoshop work. Next episode will cover vector tools and what I call complimentary tools, and then I will discuss how to work on layers and what are the most practical examples of using layer masks, then I will focus on editing an image from start to finish, and also show you how powerful is Adobe Camera RAW.
