You CAN Teach an Old Dog New Tricks

I just finished the second session of my Adobe Photoshop Beginner's Class through Community Ed. I have been thinking about investing in a new camera but I wanted to learn some cool tools and tricks to manipulate photos before I took the plunge. The program is very complex but you can do some pretty neat things with some of the "basics."

Here are a couple quick projects we worked on in class...the advanced classe begins next week so I am sure I will have some more samples to share!

P.S. These are random photos that we were assigned to work on-nobody that I actually know!
