Photoshop Class Day 1

I am currently taking a class to improve my Photoshop skills. It runs a little slow because we have some more computer illiterate people, but I am actually learning some things I didn't know how to do before. I mean, I knew all about layers, how to crop, black and white vs. sepia, etc, but here is some evidence of my new learning:

Yeah, this circular crop needs some help, which you couldn't see in the original, but I love the feathered look.


I learned how to put a picture into text (which I really wanted to know how to do!).
I learned how to use the lasso tool to cut out and feather pictures and make a collage.


This used water marks, the burn tool, the dodge tool and a border option.

Very cool, Nicole! There is so much in photoshop that I still don't know how to do.... but I know enough to do the scrapbooking I need to! I should take a class sometime to learn all the fun I'm missing out on.

It's just a class given through our school district, but I am definitely learning something new!
