Default Photoshop Elements 5.0

I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop Elements 5.0 today and re-edited the Moose photo's I took yesterday.....

Wow!
What a difference!

I'm definitely buying this program.

This is my first time using Photoshop Will....I'm Impressed.

Of course theres so much to it and so much to learn what can be done with it, that I just did some basic stuff in my re-editing.

In the original pictures....the eyes were fluorescent blue from the flash so I had used Paint in windows to black them out before posting them and I didn't really care for the results, but they were still better than fluorescent blue.
This time in Photoshop I removed the blue and just put a dot of white in the eyes for reflection.
I used part of the quick fix feature to enhance them a bit...but Man did that bring out the highlights.....
Like now you can see a lot more of the hair etc.
I put them in frames and added my nickname....which is Bubba by the way lol.
Now I have to figure out how to use layers etc, etc etc....
This might take me awhile....but I'm hoping to find some tutorial's on line that will help me.

I shall repost them so Y'All can have a look-see.

I looked at the pictures and they look great!

Photoshop is really easy once you get the hang of it, there are a lot of tutorials out there but most of them probably wont tell you what you want (I should write a set of tutorials on introduction to photoshop or something..) but theres probably some out there but I've never looked for them. Some good tutorial websites what everyone likes are Good-Tutorials / Photoshop Tutorials + Flash Tutorials and Photoshop Tutorials, Flash Tutorials and More! P2L Tutorial Search

If you need any help in photoshop please post your questions or send me a PM and I'd love to help you as best as I can!

Before you buy Photoshop Elements (you may have already done so) you should download a trial of Photoshop CS3 thats what I have. The only thing whats different between elements and photoshop is that photoshop has more features and elements is just a stripped down version of photoshop.

Default Took Your Advice

Hey Will......

Just wanted to let you know that I took your advice and I just now ordered Photoshop CS3....
