Learning Photoshopby "Patti" <gidget(at)home.gelsen-net.de> |

I totally agree with you about learning Photoshop. I've been wanting the program for years, but felt it was too pricey. I first learned with the earliest versions of PSP and upgraded a couple of times, then I went out and bought the Micrografx Webtricity Suite which I really like. But now I am living in Germany and my boyfriend has Photoshop and I've been trying to learn it. Trouble is his is a german version and I am just learning the language. I'm getting around a little bit just by using common sense and knowing what certain tools are. And some online pages on tips have helped, but just can't use the Photoshop tutorials until I learn the language better.
