Alsalam Alaykom, hello every body

my name is (m3m), egyption housewife trying to be a pro in PS by self study.

nice to see all the great work over here and the neat final touches are awosome!!!

i started to feel that my ideas suck because i'm not getting comments at my work and i'm a littel bit clueless even tho i read the rules of the contestes and some articles here...

so how can i get feedback at my work and combeat here, i know that it takes ALOT of time to be a pro but i'm a fighter..^_^
thank for every one will answer me and have a nice day/night.

yup... mostly just vote with no comment...

welcome.
Don't be discouraged.
If you want feedback put that in your authors notes so people aren't afraid to help.

Some get upset when you try to point out things that could use some fixing.
They think it takes away from their votes
Good luck

I agree with Dr. Howser (TheShaman) on this! I try to give feedback, but I wonder sometimes how it is received. If not for the feedback I got when I was starting out, I wouldn't have been able to improve as much as I have. I'm not a great photoshopper, but much better than when I started (thanks to this site)!

Good Luck!

Hello and welcome, I think you are doing fine for a beginner. Check my first entries, I had some ideas but no fotoshopskills, I watched and learned a lot here. I had photoshop as class on school, only step by step assignments, it kills creativity, (it was like tutorials, the basics) if you come up with something yourself and you work it out, it's much better for creativity...

Hi m3m and welcome to this cool site...First and foremost have fun creating your chops and participating in the comps.When trying to realize an idea you get from the source image check out PS tutorials on the web that may help you in doing so, ie. creating snow or rain or integrating externals into your chop,shadow work,color or tone blending,depth of field blur etc.Also try to find externals with the same resolution as your source it really helps.Finally don't hesitate to ask for assistance from experienced fellow choppers when trying to solve problems you are having difficulties with,there are a lot of friendly and resourceful members here that are more than willing to help.I knew zero PS when I started here many years ago and pretty well learned how to chop here at PSC ...

Welcome to PCS m3m!!!

Don't give up. I have a feeling you'll get this place figured out soon.

Cheers,
Todd

the forum here is a good place for anything like that.Just start a topic and do what you will with it... post pics,videos,links to cool sites,create controversy,get people arguing,start a political conflagration...all kinds of fun stuff

Welcome, m3m.

I think you're on the right track by coming here. I can honestly say this place and some constructive criticism helped me improve more than lessons. It allowed some creativity while I learned how Photoshop worked and I had fun the entire time, as you can see...
