Coreen just got a copy of a magazine called "Layers".

It's supposed to be the "How-To Magazine For Everything Adobe", covering design, photography, video and education.

As soon as I can pry it away from her, I'm going to take a look at it and see if I can understand anything in it. :D

ek,

You know, not everybody likes onions. Cake! Everybody loves cakes! Cakes have layers.
 
If the subscription price is worth it to you, I'd buy it. These days a lot of magazines are all fluff. 10 pages of advertisments with about 2 pages of content. :eek:

For the most part anything that's in a magazine or user manual can be found for free online in many different locations.

Trying to understand Adobe is a trial in patients for me... It's why I use PSP... it's more user friendly and you don't need a college degree to work with it..
 
Shirl, as a person who started in the wee beginning using photoshop at the age of 13, I understand your difficulties in learning, just like a foreign language, you gotta practice and study with it constantly. I recently have been trying to get my grandparents on board, so far they have a book and can do minor stuff with the software, it's awesome how far they have come.

On the flip side, using PSP seems limiting #1 and #2 to basic and in a cluttered interface (IMO). Plus all of Photoshop's suite of products all tie into one another, you can do something in Photoshop, export it to pdf, take that Photoshop document take it into after effects layer by layer, etc. etc.

Now I really expect some great contributions from you for the Photoshop Tricks thread. :sqbiggrin:
 
The biggest problem I have with just about all of the photo rags . . . uhh, I mean mags . . . is that they seem to automatically assume that everytime Adobe comes out with a new Photoshop, we all run out and drop $700 bucks on it!

And all they write about is the latest version and drop any tips about the previous versions!

Like it was yesterdays garbage!

When . . . in reality . . . most of us buy it once, use very few of the zillions of features that a good photographer really doesn't need, and just continue to use the version we purchased until it doesn't work anymore with the latest operating system!

I'm still usining Photoshop 7a and have absolutely no plans on buying CS2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or 10!

Just some random thoughts from a photographer who tries to make his photos in the camera . . . not the computer!

By the way . . . just opened my brand new Panasonic Lumix 10 megapixel FZ50 today!
 
Sorry for the hijack...

"Layers!? We ain't got no layers. We don't need no layers! I don't have to show you any stinking layers!"

This has mostly been one big hijack but I couldn't let mention of one of my favorite films go by without comment.
