    You wonderful wife once posted how she made photos so dreamy and misty and I printed it out and now a lot of my photos go through the “treatment”. You guys should run online real time photo classes. That would kick ass. Everyone with a digital camera that doens’t know how to take advantage of Photoshop, raise your hands!

    Jen, I’m raisin’ my hand ’cause I’m clueless. I bought the Nikon Coolpix 4300 last year and totally understand what you’re saying. Jon, that picture is beautiful.

    everything i learned about photoshop was soaked up online with only a cursory smattering of tips & tricks coming in-person from more knowledgeable geeks & slingers.

    seriously. block off 4 hours with a bottle of Pinot and google: “photoshop tutorial” do some sifting for the good sites that offer their tutorials by level of knowledge/expertise.

    yea, you;ll be making lame-ass web-buttons and very simple image refinements at first. but thats how you get familiar with the tools in PS.

    everyone wants to click a button or 2 and have one of djblurbs yummy images up there. mostly because they fear that there are 101 steps and 5 years of lessons betwixt them and that level of prowess with The Shop.

    But the “journey is the holiday” as i like to say. once you embrace the core 4 or 5 *majour* steps djblurb took, you too will be cranking out pieces that make you The Shit.

    there are tens of thousands of dollars worth of lessons right there for free on the net. you just gotta block off some time. Time. Remember that stuff?

    Hats off to you Doctor Armstrong. You ooze the good stuff. Every good thing to you, sir.

    always learning,

    No you didn’t. You just tried to rip off an already not funny joke expecting a bit of glory.
