Photoshop Adobe 7.0

Shellee, what a beautiful shade of red!!

Good luck with Adobe 7.0

Adobe is a nightmare for me.  Every time I try to use it, something bad happens.   I suspect Adobe is more focused on selling software renewals and updates than providing service.

Shellee - there a number of excellent after-market manuals and books for many of the flavors and versions of Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.  I like anything written by Scott Kelby.  Check out Amazon.com for listings.

There are also video tutorials available on DVD or on line.  I use www.lynda.com which hosts a wide range of software training programs for $25 per month for unlimited on-line access.  

There are also a number of tutorials on ActiveRain to help with specific projects.  

I hope this helps you 

by the way - I love the cat portrait

Shelee,

the best advice that I can give to you is the same one that I use...

When I need something in particular, I google it, and get few different techniques.  Then I use the one that is the best fit for me...  then print the page as a PDF file and archieve it in my useful tips folder on my computer

The library is where I would suggest going as well. You can look at a handful of books and easily tell which will be the best help for you based on your level of knowledge and the format of the book. THEN you can spend the $30-60 that some of these books cost if you still want to... or you can simply learn what you need to learn without the extra cost.

After all, your taxes buy the books anyway, you might as well use them! Most libraries will even purchase books you would like to see in inventory that they don't have, just show the librarian the amazon page and they will likely place an order for it and notify you when it arrives if they don't already have it in their system.

Must agree with the previous responses...the Classroom in a Book series is great and IMO, the best. I use Photoshop pretty much exclusively for editing photos. If I want to do a quick resize for mls or internet use, I use Paint.

You may also try half.com as well as amazon.com to find the book.

Best of luck,

Shelee,

I've used one for photoshop 5, back in 1999, and since then I'm just using google.. however if you get the BIBLE for PHOTOSHOP (I don't recall the exact name), this is a nice breakdown of everything you can do...

But they are mostly for users who are learning photoshop, and it is a nice guideline of what tools you can use for what purpose

I use Paint Shop Pro for most digital photo work.

That's a fun frame. It makes the man on his bucket/chair look very small.

I love Adobe Photoshop 7.  I still have it on my laptop and use it all the time.  I have Adobe CS3 on my desktop computer - where I have more RAMming speed.  :)

Shelley,

I'm fairly new to photography (probably why I spend time in this group) and I just bought Photoshop.  I definitely need a class on it because the manual, to me, is a nightmare.  I'll keep checking back to see if you get anymore great advice.
