2 . Understand some photoshop terms
[Multipage="Glossary"]
PSD

File format saved in photoshop to preserve the layers, not able to host PSDs on any image uploading website

PNG
File format saved in photoshop gimp and the modern version of MS paint that preserves transparency and gives the highest quality save available.

XCF
File format saved in Gimp

GIF
File format saved in most programs that deal with art .

Tut
Tutorial, usualy these are provided to help a member of a gfx community to broaden their skill.

LRO
Learning rights only, term is used usualy for psds means you can only use it to learn, do not redistribute it.

WRO
Wearing rights only, usualy is given as a gift they give you wearing rights which means they made it and have all the other rights but you can wear it.

Stock
An image unlike a render, it comes with a complete image, meaning you have to show a little more gfx knowledge to manipulate it and turn it into something amazing

Render
Usually taken from an image, it is transparent around everything but the focal. Most common to use when new to gfx.

C4D
A render/stock most of the time that is used for effects/lighting , there are many types of c4ds. C4D refers to 3-dimensional renders created in the program Cinema 4D, a 3D rendering program similar to Maya and Blender.

Fractal
Somewhat like a c4d but images are less bulky and somewhat made up of alot of thin lines, technically, a fractal is an image created from a mathematical algorithm that never terminates, meaning you can zoom in an infinite amount of times and see the pattern repeated. A fractal in terms for graphic artists is a design created in programs like Apophysis.

Filter
Term used for the filters in photoshop and GIMP

C&C
Terms used for criticism, criticism is a must in graphics communities, people need to know how to improve their skills, but keep it neat and nice. (C&C stands for Comments and Criticism)

Team
Usualy a group of people who do artwork together and call themselves a team, there are some exceptions to the word team.

Name Tag
File format saved in photoshop to preserve the layers, not able to host PSDs on any image uploading website, PSDs can also be saved/opened in GIMP, but some data is lost.
