A necessary evil........Photoshop

When I first started photography I was using just free photo software to do my editing. I finally

decided to buy photoshop.

~

At first I despised the program, and I bet I had it for at least a couple of months before I actually started using it.

~

Enter my friend, Krystn.

She sent me an e-mail one day and told me there was a photoshop class being offered at jessicasprague.com. Wahoo! I think it cost about $30.00.

~

I learned so much from that $30 class and the best part the class is saved under your username and you can go back and view it anytime you want. With photoshop that is a must.

~

After the class I also checked out MCP actions and have learned a lot from her blog resources.

~

I have also learned a lot by just playing with photoshop, which can be good and bad.

~

I don't think photoshop is very userfriendly, and sometimes it can take me quite awhile to edit a session. I always laugh when I hear someone say it probably takes you a couple of minutes to get the look you want. If they only knew.

~

Some looks take me 7 to 10 steps.

Now that I have Photoshop and I have learned some tricks that work for me, I love it.

~

My only other bit of advice, if you are a college student you can get a huge discount on the program so look into it before you pay full price.

And now........my two youngest at a fabulous location I found.
