A friend at work showed me this the other day. In the fine tradition of learning through parody and mockery comes the series You Suck At Photoshop. Call it a Web 2.0 version of Web Pages that Suck, a site that rocked my world about 10 years ago as a budding young web producer. But don’t call it average, because the bloke doing this series is a class act!

Basically this is Photoshop techniques taught through sarcasm, scorn and maximum bitterness. In the first episode, layering techniques are demonstrated. So Donny Photoshops his marriage certificate on the inside window of ‘the van his wife and high school friend are in every Friday night’. Basically every episode is punctuated by his married life coming to a sudden end. Like the episode that covers the Photoshopping the wedding ring off of the finger in episode 3.

Anyway, if you type ‘You Suck At Photoshop’ into Youtube, there’s five episodes at the time of writing. All pant wettingly funny and laden with irony. With what little I know about Photoshop , they actually are pretty good tutorials too (e.g. his alternatives to the clone tool). So if you’re copping it at work and need a quick sarcastic fix to pull you through, give it a crack.
