Monday night I signed up for this online course. I've been subscribed to her blog for a few months now, read her articles in Creating Keepsakes Magazine and finally decided it was worth the time, money and new knowledge to sign up. I've got lots of experience with Photoshop's sister software (used to be rival until Adobe bought them out), Fireworks. Years ago I had to make a decision between the two when designing images for websites and I went with Fireworks because of it's integration with Dreamweaver (a website designing software). Now that I do most of my web building with just a text program and code, I find I don't need Dreamweaver as much.
Now that I've become more interested in scrapbooking and wanted to learn the digital-based side, I've found I need to know Photoshop, too. I got the software a few months ago, tried to use it to build some images for a website and became too frustrated to continue. It's not that I couldn't figure it out, I just don't have the patience to muddle through a new learning curve when I've already spent so much time and energy learning the other that works for what I need. But if you know me at all, it's just not good enough to let it go. I need to learn this other software, if just to decide whether I'm interested in digital scrapbooking at all or not. So, on Monday the class starts and we'll see how it goes. I'm excited to be learning something new again!

So the question is...Is that a legal^H^H^H^H^H new version of Photoshop? :)
Huh, interesting. Just realized you can't edit comments with Blogger. Just delete them. Hmmmm.
I have been looking for something like this! I have been getting to know Photoshop more and more, but I would love to learn more! Thanks for the link.
Why Greg, do you even have to ask? :-) I am always completely on the up and up when it comes to software...especially the kind that costs 100's of dollars.
You're welcome for the link Brenda. The class was supposed to close on Wednesday night and usually closes earlier because it fills up so fast, but it's been extended this time to allow a few more people. You should sign up too, it would be fun to take it with someone I know! :-)
I signed up! It looks so fun...
I'm so excited, Brenda! We'll have to exchange email addresses so we can "compare notes" from class together. :-)
Good for you guys! That looks like it will be an awesome class!
I use GIMP for all my photo editing needs. :)
Yeah, you are sick more than anyone I know! Get well already! Wow, that pool cake is awesome! I can't wait to see the finished project. I can't believe I haven't blogged about AZ Does It yet. They all did so well. It really was quite the experience.
