Donnie says 'you suck at Photoshop...'

By Ernest Svenson

Over the years I've bought a few books that were designed to teach me to use Photoshop, a wonderful image editing program that is also extremely complex.  Invariably, the manuals don't help me because they're boring.  But now it appears that I have finally found the Holy Grail of Photoshop instruction.  Some guy named Donnie has been creating video tutorials called "You Suck at Photoshop."  The tutorials are roaringly funny. 

In episode #5 Donnie plans to take a last minute beach vacation and shows you how he plans to create a hammock.  During the tutorial his boss keeps interrupting him and we discover that, while Donnie is great at Photoshop, he's a total slacker. Obviously, the whole thing is staged.  Which is what makes it so ingenious.
