That probably wasn't the real photo shop because its a commercial program that costs like $800 new from adobe. You either seen Photoshop elements or Photo deluxe. Both of those are OK graphic editing programs but Photoshop is obviously alot better. You get what you pay for.

Photoshop itself isn't really hard to learn, you just neeed some time and a nack to learn. Its easy to search on google for photoshop tutorials to see and learn how to do some cool stuff when you first get started.

Its not hard to learn how to do stuff. Mostly I discover things I didn't even think about by playing with it or looking for stuff about it on the net. You might try planetphotoshop.com or .net I think its called. I wanna be a Superman one of these days and jump my trike off a cliff into nothing but air. I should have it all figgered out by summer. :pics:

Hello

Ive picked up using photoshop pretty quickly. ive only been using it for a a couple of weeks and i can now if i put my mind to it put out some professional looking chops etc. If you need any help when you get it then post here and me or another guy will try to help you out. I have Adobe Photoshop 8.0 . its excellent, loads of features, But im sure you will be able to do some pretty good stuff in elements.

There's people out there with ridiculous photoshop skills. The image below for example, I'm just in awe of that. I'm not too bad with photoshop (for a hobbyist) but that's really... just wow. It just goes to show you how powerful the program is in the right hands. Far cry from changing the color of my trike. :lol:

I learned photoshop at school, cost them ruffly $600 for the program, since Ive been :banned: from there, I just work with what I got now, which is photo impressions, not nearly as good as photoshop. But i can still get the job done.

did you get it yet? You did read the box just to make sure its what you want, right. Its not the editing program. Is more like microsoft picture edit to warp, change the color, put some kind of ripple effect and so on.

I don't think that you will find anything to be able to change colors of specific areas. It may only be able to change the color of the whole picture like restoring an old photo to its original color by removing the green tint of the overall picture. Another feature that my picture it has is that it can create postcard like frames and put a ripple effect that looks like when you drop a stone into water. Just think: Why would someone pay $600 dollars to adobe when they can get the 'same' thing at walmart for 39.99 + tax? Too bad they don't tell you in a list what exactly it does instead of all that hype and hoopla with pictures on the back. I garontee that you can't make darth vader's saber glow with that program. Those are my favorite effects: gaussian blur, midtones, highlights, and color addition to a specific area. I also happen to like the various color keys.
