All right, finally something I am actually proud of.
What you can download here is literally a book. It's not just a simple tutorial, no. This is a walkthrough, from the moment you take your camera, to the moment you save your file, about the way to manipulate your files a non-destructive way. You might not know what "non-destructive" mean. Well, I cover that too.
This is a reference book. First, I explain to you what a raw file is, what to convert it to, and how to manipulate raw files. But you may not have a camera that shoots in raw. Well, then, you apply to the second part of my tutorial, where I simply took every single tool in Photoshop, and found ways to use them in a non-destructive way. In fact, I don't only cover tools, no. I cover all adjustments through the edit menu AND all the filters. Would that be enough? Maybe, but I give you even more. The third part of my tutorial is some tips and tricks, useful for everyone, to enhance your photograph/pictures, always in a non-destructive way. This goes from enhancing the contrasts to adding a non-destructive border, with lot of things between those two.
This is a good tutorial, useful for everyone. Not only that, but I know that after reading the whole tutorial, no matter from how long you use Photoshop, you will have learned at least one thing, if not more. I am so sure about this, that if you come to me and claim that after reading the whole tutorial you didn't learn ANYTHING, I pay you a year subscription to deviantART. This is, my friends, how sure I am you will learn something.
So, why not giving it a shot ? Just download the .pdf file, and read the parts that you care about. It is totally free, you don't even have to give me a +fav or anything, and once you've read this, you do whatever you want with your new knowledge.
To be honest I don't know of the full screen view got here. It suddenly appeared after I first saved my PDF file, and I have no idea how to turn this off. I don't like Acrobat, that's official But, well... few years ago I said I wouldn't ever use Photoshop. But, yes, I'm in a mood right now when I feel people gave me so much I should give back some things. That's why I began uploading stock pictures in the first place, and why I will continue trying to help anyone who needs on deviantART. And the non-destructive manipulation is something I've been working on for a long time now, conceptualising the whole thing and stuff, and since I had some time -without any internet connexion!- I just did the whole thing in three days straight, learning how to use Illustrator and Acrobat on the way I hope you found this helpful, by the way

Great work dear, you made a easy and useful guide from start to end. I must say that I have seen many tutorials on DA and this one is more than good, its professional.
and don't worry dear, I have learned many things that I could use and you'll get a +fav anyway

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
