How Do I Change PSD Files?

Make Money Online with PLR – Changing PSD Files

When I first started out in Internet Marketing, I was gun-ho with resell rights and later PLR products.  I mastered HTML and could whip out sales letters and download pages.  But boy was I stumped when it came to PSD files.

PSD files are the layered image files made typically with Photoshop.  I didn’t want to invest in Photoshop just to edit a graphic.  I wasn’t interested in becoming a graphics designer.  All I wanted to do was make some minor changes to these graphics.

I spent several weeks searching for free programs that would open PSD files and perform basic image manipulation.  I was estatic when I found GIMP – GNU Image Manipulation Program.

GIMP not only could open PSD files, it al could do hundreds of other tasks.  However, there were problems with this free software.  (Back then you needed a tutorial just to download and install the software.  Don’t worry, the creators have made it much simpler in later releases.)

One of the huge hurdles was figuring out which tools to use and how to use them.  (You need to realize that opening any  other complex graphics program is going to have the same result.)

(NOTE: I would highly recommend that you watch a few video tutorials that take you through the basic tool set and how to use the key tools.  You will also need some instruction for advanced tasks.)

The first step is to download and install the software. When you open the software you will notice that there are separate panels. At first it is a distraction but later you realized how nice it is to only need to open the panels you are working in.

More later…
