I have happily been using Picasa to edit my pictures. Picasa is a VERY simple program and does a nice job. Plus your pictures are easy to view in the library.
WELL. I have this dream. I want to take my pictures and bump'em up a notch. Maybe on down the road I could fire my boss. This will take more than what Picasa offers in the way of editing.
Photoshop was my choice. I even went to the library and got a book. As our library only stocks the most outdated books, I did find one by
Scott Kelby. Photoshop CS2. I of course have CS5. I figure I can get around anyway.
Needless to say after 3 days my mind is mush.
While attempting to erase a background I had to keep myself from grabbing a razor and slitting my wrist. Maybe it was the 5 packs of cigarettes and 3 pots of coffee. I don't know.
Anyway, being the stubborn bitch I am, I shall persevere. I guess you'll withstand anything if the dream is big enough.
Here is what I ended up with. The original photo had all kinds of palm trees and other distractions in the background. The shot was taken at the Exotic Car Show on St Armands Circle this April.
