The magic that is Photoshop

[scotschik]

I've been playing around with Corel's version of photoshop, and I am in love. It's probably not news to most of you that you can do seriously cool stuff with these programs, but I've always been too afraid to give them a go. Not anymore!

YAY you!!!

I was trained on the Adobe suite, but at $3k (US) is was a BIT out of budget, so I went with the entire Corel suite for $500, and really, it IS just as good. Not industry standard, I know, but hell, it does everything you need it too. And you are doing a great job! GO YOU!!! Lovely pix. Thanks for sharing!

[scotschik]

Ooh, thank you! Coming from someone who knows that they are doing, that means a lot!

I am pondering splurging on the photo program, I think it's about £50 which is affordable. Then maybe a few more will pop up now and again...

Thanks again! : D

They are pretty cool - like the Castle shot. Haven't been there in years! It was great craic though. Had my first haggis, neeps and taties there.
*sighs*
Yay you!

[scotschik]

Thanks! I really like the castle one too, although I'm most proud of Arthur's Seat as there were spugly lampposts to remove... *g*

Mmm...haggis! Makes me hungry all over again...

[icudoc]

MInd you I had haggiss twice - once in the Castle and once from a chipper that was deep fried.
Preferred the Castle one - deep fried is like a heart attack on a plate!

My word, those pictures are just gorgeous, and the lamppost removal must have been very difficult - great job!

[scotschik]

Thanks! The lampposts took a looong time. T'was a bit frustrating, but seeing it done made it worth it.

Glad you like them, I am ponding buying the programme (its a free trial at the mo) and doing more.
