Photoshop!

So, Trav finally convinced me that we should get the Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign Adobe package before he doesn't get the student discount anymore.  Although I hate forking out money... I am pretty excited!  We've had it for a couple months now and I've been a little intimidated by the Adobe style of things but, I found this amazing blog: thecoffeeshopblog.com!!  This amazing lady has put so many different Actions on it that you can download for free.  I learned that pretty much an Action is a lifesaver for people like me who don't know all the ins and outs of Photoshop!  It's like a recipe that's already put together and instead of having to go through all the steps yourself, it just does it for you!!  I'm so excited because we are getting some family pics taken tonight so I'll be able to experiment more, but here's just a look at what I did today with one of the awesome Actions from the blog!

I'm way excited for you! I so want to get photoshop one of these days! This is perfect because by then you'll be a pro and you can help me:) Love it! I've always wanted to learn how to swap heads from one photo and put it in another. That would be so helpful for group pics!!! Yeah for student discounts and I know you always deserve the splurg ;)
