Good morning,

I just wanted to say I've seen some pretty outstanding stuff on this site and wanted to know wheres the best place for me to start?

I'm ok on photoshop but some of the stuff on here is really advanced and wanted to know if you have any links to online tutorials or areas you think I should look into ...

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

You can email me at lifesallgood@lycosdotcom

it's kind of a learn as you go process. Look at the picture of the day, get an idea for what you want to do and then ask if ya don't know how to accomplish an effect or something. Hard to say any specific way to do this stuff since there's about 5,000,000,000,000,01 different things in PS.
Have fun and welcome!

First off, Welcome. Time, practice, and patience is the only advice I can give you. Pour over every tutorial here and those that splodge pointed you to and, practice it, then review what you practiced in a week or two to make sure you have absorbed it.

Have fun here ... ! Very Happy

Now how is that possible?
Is the last comma a comma or a spacer for thousands?
If so, the last "thing in PS" must be impossible, or only one tenth possible.. Weird Mr.

What you can do is, you make a free account at http://photobucket.com and then you can link the images into the forum.
I'm not sure if you are familiar with photobucket, but if you aren't, every picture in your album has a link under the image, click on it once and it's copied to your clipboard. That link you will need to make sure everyone else can see the image properly.
