photoshop

I used to be very intimidated by the steep learning curve of using this program, but by going through some online tutorials and stuff, this program is very useful and extremely powerful.

Russell Brown has a great selection of downloadable videos for learning tips and techniques in Photoshop and Illustrator. He is very thorough and witty too! I work on a Mac G4 & G5 and my favorite software is Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand and Indesign.

Once you are a registered user, you can download free training videos, called VTMs. The training modules are some of the best and are completely free. There are a wide range of videos that are very educations and are of the same quality that you would spend thousands of dollars for other programs. This is definitely something to check out if you want to learn something new by doing.

The past year I've also grown a great passion for photography. I just love taking pictures. Of my daughter, scenery, macro photography and people in general. I love this site, it really helps you work with photoshop better.
