How often is Photoshop User published?

Eight times each year plus a bonus issue whenever Adobe releases a major revision of Photoshop.

Can I subscribe?

No. The magazine is sent only to NAPP members but membership is about the same as it would cost to buy all of the issues at the newsstand. Plus, membership allows you to access the massive members-only website with hundreds of additional tutorials, discounts, member Help Desk, member portfolios, and more!

Can’t I just borrow copies of Photoshop User from my friend who is a NAPP member?

Not if you value your friendship. Most members tell us that their Photoshop User collection stays right beside their computer for quick reference.

Who writes for Photoshop User?

The best-known Photoshop trainers and authors in the industry. Led by our Editor-in-Chief and Publisher Scott Kelby (the best-selling computer book author in the world), we feature articles by KW Media employees, digital photographers, artists, and world-renowned trainers.

How are Photoshop User articles different?

Each of our step-by-step tutorials is checked for accuracy. We always try to make sure that even the newest Photoshop user can follow each step of the instructions.

Is Photoshop User for advanced users, beginners, or intermediate?

Yes, yes, and yes. All of our tutorials are start-to-finish projects. Whether you’re a beginner or you’re really advanced, you’ll get great results by just following the steps. Experts love our tutorials because they usually highlight the absolute fastest way to get results. Beginners love them because their work looks just like the pros’ if they just follow the steps.

Is the magazine just tutorials?

No. Besides tutorials and tips, each issue is packed with reviews, industry news, Help Desk advice, Q&A, members’ Design Showcase, and more.

Can I review topics and tutorials from past issues to see if there’s something I missed?

Sure. NAPP members have access to our magazine center on the website with a comprehensive table of contents for each issue. This becomes even more useful after you’ve collected a stack of issues and need to look up an old article but don’t remember which issue it was in.
