I can comment! I was just in the middle of e-mailing you, planning on talking about my love/fear relationship with Photoshop! I actually did some dodging for the first time this morn. Tried to lighten the water in my photo of lilly pads. It was HARD trying to "paint" using a mouse! It will def. take some getting used to-I took it a little far, enjoying the trippy swirly effects I made! In my own personal and limited experience with Photoshop, I've basically taken advantage of downloading free actions, online tutorials and applying them to some photos-quick and easy- as well as using the index of my Photoshop for Dummies to pin point a particular thing to do. But as far as understanding the tech rhyme or reason to what I'm doing ? Layers? Panels? Paths? OH,MY!!! I need to take a class..... Yay! I can comment!
