If you want to practice editing pictures in Photoshop, it helps to have access to PSD images for Photoshop.
These Photoshop practice photos should contain all of the layers of the edit, so that you can see the steps that the photographer has taken, and try these out for yourself.
In this post, you can download free images for Photoshop in PSD form that contain these layers, so you can see the exact steps that went into creating a photo.
Using these photos as Photoshop practice exercises, you can easily learn photo editing without any stress or hassle – these are the perfect Photoshop practice images for beginners.
You can also download free RAW photos for editing and free Lightroom presets to complement your learning, and even add these as Camera RAW presets if you prefer.
All of these images are free for personal use, but cannot be used commercially or re-sold. Please link back to www.lapseoftheshutter.com if you do post any of your own versions of these images online.

Photoshop Practice Exercises
The best Photoshop Practice Exercises are to simply follow the edits contained in the layers in the practice pictures for Photoshop that you can download above.
First, look at the end result in Photoshop, then hide the layers and try to replicate it yourself. You can use the existing layers to check your work.
If you want specific tutorials on Photoshop, then take a look at my workflow tutorial to edit landscape photos, or my complete set of Photoshop tutorials, many of which also contain pics for Photoshop practice.
