new @ photoshop need beginner tutorials for architects

[philippgosch]

Hey all,

 

I'm a architect student from Austria, studying for 1 1/2 years now. I'm quite familiar with CAD programs / BIM-modeling but I struggle with post production / generating good presentations of my projects.

 

we sadly don't learn anything photoshop / render related.

 

so my question: does any one have good free basic "photoshop for architects type" guide / tutorial / videos recommendations for me? i would love to dig into that material but i struggle to find free architecture related stuff.

 

any tip would help! thanks!

Most of what you will find for architectural renderings will be contained in breakdown or making-of articles. A quick search found this series, which I will be reading through myself now:

This book, while not free helped me quite a bit, and I still reference it often despite the "you can't judge a book by it's cover" factor:

And then there is the ultimate making-of:

I think what Benjamin suggested will help you understand how compositing elements works and workflows which is a good chunk of the battle, but the rest is opinion and adjustment layers. Bothe for local color adjustments and your overall color grade.

 

For boosting your opinion I would simply spend a lot of time observing good photography of architecture, but for adjustments I found this to be useful a while back:

It isn't architecture, but it's great information.

thanks for both of your replies!

 

very helpful links. especially the "making-of tutorials" helped a lot!

 

now i have something to start with

Alex has a great site that you may like. His style is more Photoshop oriented than accurate rendering.
