Photoshop is not a program that I have had the chance to play around with. I worked for a photographer for a couple of years and was always so amazed at the styalization possibilities! For my personal use, Picasa is as fancy as I get :)
That felt like a really nice reminder of the simple things you can do in photoshop. I haven't use it in a while due to not owning it yet. (CS5 IS COMING IN THE MAIL! I'm getting it while I can still get the student discount). I really enjoyed the visuals that you added to the tutorial. There were a couple times that you circled three keys but was only talking about one. I think if I had never used photoshop I might be a little confused.
I really loved the tips at the bottom. It allows for the teacher or student that would be watching/looking at this to add to their repertoire if they were already a little bit familiar with this program.
On a side note, I think it would be cool to have the shortcut key posted on each computer so they could always have it handy while they were working. After extensive use I'm sure they would have it memorized.
I sympathize with Claudia, because at times I'd rather revert back to good old Paint (Windows) than mess with all the tools and tricks associated with Photoshop. Photoshop seems awfully intimidating, and more often than not I've yearned for the simplicity of older programs. But I'm somewhat familiar with Photoshop, and I enjoy fooling around with the clone tool and some of the brushes. I'm terribly jealous of Charlotte though, and I wish I knew half of the bells and whistles of Photoshop and how to use them. I'm quite impressed with the few tools and tricks that Charlotte has highlighted here. Your manual is easy to follow, gives clear and concise information, and shows you exactly where to find the option to use some of these tools! Teach me your ways, Jedi Master!
