Greeting and aloha. Decided to Google "Photoshop contest" and this place came up first. I am sorta newish to PS. Been using it for several months - 8. Pretty hard program, but I am starting to get comfortable with it. I have been making "Shoops" at Sherdog MMA site which is about all my experience so far. Oh and I did two contests at Pxleyes.

Taking a beginners course from Shaw Acadamy in about a week. My hammer and chisel method seems to be working OK if I beat on it for a while, but learning the basics should help. So far this place is cool. A little slow, but people seem nice. I hope I can learn alot from the experts and maybe meet some cool folks. Some of the Shops here are just amazing. Draw dropping.

I read the rules and I am confused on one thing. The contests say something like "open now, 2 days left". Does that mean voting is for only 2 more days, or we have two days to enter? I am confused as to when the voting actually ends. I read the "Contest Types and Rules" and saw nothing explaining that.

Aloha and a hui ho.

Open 2 more days refers to both. You have 2 more days to enter and voting, (and the contest), ends in 2 days. Early entries have a better chance of gaining votes, just sayin'. Welcome to the site, I sincerely hope you enjoy it here.

Welcome to PSC. This place is pretty slow now days, but I promise you it is a great place to learn. There are a bunch of great people here that are willing to help if you need it.

I would encourage you to get advantage. Maybe just 3 months to start. It opens a whole new door on what you an do.

Best wishes and Happy Chopping!
