Just a quick blog with a comment and what I thought was a useful link relating to Photoshop. To say that I was somewhat overwhelmed in last night’s class with the steady stream of information about Photshop would be an understatement. I know that many of you are far more conversant and used to working with Photoshop than I ever am or ever will be but I can see why colleagues of mine here at work and Jeremy say that this software almost seems bottomless and no matter how long you use it there is still a myriad of tricks, whistles and bells buried in Photoshop.
Again referring back to my last blog, the book is extremely good but I asked someone at work if they had knowledge of any type of site that allows luddites and philistines such as myself to work through and simply learn the basis steps in the quietness of my home office where the only witnesses to my bad language, as I once again manage to fill the solid color onyl with black and not the color I selected, are my dogs. They came up with the following site which I am only too delighted to share with all those who are still in the paddling pool as opposed to swimming in the deep end. I have tried a couple of the lessons and it seems to be a well thought out site.

Many thanks for this link – I need all the assistance I can get…I’ve been battling photoshop and powerpoint for a couple of days now – and I’m not happy about it! I finally was able to create a logo – without it looking all black, as you had mentioned, but now I’m not sure how to get it where I want it.
