learn how to use photoshop

I’ve been learning how to use actions. One of my Flickr friends hooked me up with a great site with free action downloads! Wahoo!

Last night I used photoshop to create my first fake ttv. I added some texture layers and experimented with blending modes. It was fun! I definitely have a lot to learn, but I feel like I’m finding more and more out about the things I can do with the software.

I’ve been working with adjustment layers and adjusting single colors. I also figured out how to use saved actions. I downloaded a set of actions from a Flickr photographer that I really like and have applied them to a few of my pictures. It’s been working really well. Tomorrow I hope to be able to use photoshop to create bokeh in a couple of pictures.

overwhelmed. :( I tried to edit a photo today, and I could do NOTHING with it. It was sad. So, I checked out my delicious links for photoshop help, and I found a very basic guide to photoshop. I’m going to make myself read the whole thing. Once I get better acquainted with the program, I should be more successful.

I used Photoshop.
I know it’s not a fabulous change, but it’s a start.

I used Photoshop.

with editing tips and tutorials. It’s really inspired me to give this a try again.

I was hoping to learn enough about Photoshop to be able to design my own Christmas cards this year. I looked at some online tutorials about creating collages, etc. I messed around with some feathering techniques, but I could never come up with anything I was happy with.

I decided to order my cards from a place that would do the designing for me. I don’t think I have enough time to master Photoshop in time to order cards for this year.

I’m going to keep working on it, and maybe I’ll be able to design my own cards next year.

I found some online tutorials and decided to get started on my Christmas cards for this year! The tutorials I found weren’t basic enough. :( So, I got to know Photoshop help well. I thought that because I do a fair amount of video editing Photoshop would be kind of innate. It wasn’t.

I was a little bit frustrated at first, but I think I finally figured out enough of the basics to give it a go. Unfortunately, I’m a little too tired to make much more progress on the Christmas card. :) I’ll have to try that another night. :)
