Bindii,

You're having too much fun. Don't let EnergyPolice see what you're up to.

1. This works well and has a real fun vibe to it.

2. You need to read THIS to get Gary's EnergyPolice reference (but have a cup of your fave beverage handy)

The more you play - the more you learn, Bindii. :)

Nice composition

Nice composition, Bidii. PhotoShop can be fascinating and the more you learn to more you forget, unless you use it daily.

Oh yeah...tell me about it...it has to be once of the most frustrating programs I have ever come across...and having the computer literacy of a five year old and the attention span of a goldfish probably doesnt help matters either...

I am getting there though...slowly but surely...:)

Steady on Bindii - I learned all my best Photoshop stuff from a cod!

Yep - the program can be very daunting. A veritable mountain of knowledge. However, you only need to master a few simple things depending on your own workflow and the genre of photography you work within. Everything else is great but is really only icing on the cake - fun but not absolutely essential. A few tutorials, from the web, photo magazines (I subscribe to two British ones Digital Photography and Digital Camera World) or books will give you a good understanding of what can be done. It's just up to you then to figure out which features are useful and which are just ...cool!

Scott Kelby's books (almost any of them) are a great start. I've got 5 of them and would be happy to lend them to you for you to have a look at. I''ve committed a bit to memory, made some techniques into actions and know exactly where to look for the stuff I can't remember!

(Kelby's "Photoshop CS2 for Digital Photographers" is great.)
