Oh, well thanks stevannie and Welles for the nice comments. ;\
[bustagut] Me too...sorta. It seems I've tried everything except 3D stuff, which is very fasinating but I've never spent the time learning a 3D app. I sorta dabble in video editing, compositing, some animating, DVD authoring, sound FX, web design, Flash, and oh duh, Photoshop. Oh, and a little Oh Wow factor graphics pc gaming too.

hi ronmatt
as a fairly new user to PS i dont really do anything, all i want to be able to do is take my photos with my beloved camera, should something be wrong, or maybe i fancy something different, then i just want the knowledge to be able to do it.
i only do what i have seen here and elsewhere, but i will post a few photos later after i have had a play with them.

cool. I'm sure that many here can be of real help to you. I probably can't as I'm an illustrator and not much of a photographer with my mere 3.2 mp Minolta d'image. So I guess I'll be learning from you.

hi again
thats a smart camera, i have just bought a canon 350d, 8.2m pixels, an excellent lens and a sturdy tripod, all i need now is a good memory.
If you go to my next post entitled 'my first question' you will see the help i have received already from members regarding 'forgetting to alter the white balance'.
cheers

Ronmatt said:Whoa wait a minute, I love love my d'image.? I haven't found anything "mear" about it. In fact the folded lens is a giant leap ahead in technology.? Glad to know of another user.? I'd love to see some shots of yours- incidentally,? IN my humble opinion,? Illustrators make fabulous photographers.?

BTW - Welcome Stevannie and Aaron - pull up a chair and make yourself at home here.

Joy; I really didn't mean 'mere' as mere. This little baby is enough for me. I just use it to take snaps of the family and textures for PS. (But people tend to stare when I'm focusing in on a rusty old machine in a junk yard, or some pealing paint on an old barn). But I like it. If you're familiar with my style of illustration, I can't imagine how a camera could aid me though or how I could translate it into photography. Most things I illustrate don't exist in the known universe.
