So I've been dorking out over Photoshop a little bit lately =) I installed it on Wednesday and spent the whole frickin day working through my highly anticipated hissy fits over how I didn't understand any of the tutorials, etc. Which, seriously, I didn't. Actually, just one I did understand. The rest of them claim to be basic ones for beginners, and then just go off on one about "then I did this and that and some other highly unlikely word I've never heard of" and they think that's for beginners? *snorts* It isn't.

So here's what I did so far. And I kid you not when I tell you I've no idea what I'm doing - I randomly click shiny buttons and see what happens - *clickety* - and that's about the extent of my 'knowledge' so far. I barely understand layers, I've yet to use a brush or a texture cos I have a mental block in understanding those too - oh, and text is beyond me. Literally. Although [livejournal.com profile] suzyx has kindly offered to help me out with some text advice, and [livejournal.com profile] from_the_corner has been great in offering concrit to every effort I throw in her direction ;) And although I understand you need some knowledge to use 'curves' properly, I can't resist the urge to fiddle around with that little squiggly line *lol* so I've sort of experimented with that =)

So - here they are so far. I know they're all pretty bland, but I'm learning - I hope!

Anyway, only posting these here for you guys to tell me where I'm going wrong with cropping, etc, and if any of you would like to offer any advice/tutorials/guides, please make sure they're idiot-proof. Please. I'm not sure how many more hissy fits my desk can take =)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] bookwormprinces!! Have wonderful birthday sweetie =)

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend =)

*hugs all*
