You are without a doubt one of the most talented people in Photoshop. Amazing & beautiful work :) - JG
Now I don't feel so bad when my photos look like the befores!!! Great work. Now if you could only save these photos I did for Father's day. They just got butchered by Walgreens. :(
oh, man!!! i so wish i live near you. i would sign up for this in a flash! there is so much about photoshop that i want to learn.
i just play around in it, but i really don't know what i'm doing. i really need to take a class some time. somehow, i think learning it from you would be more fun than learning from anyone else.
that's awesome that you're doing that. i hope you get lots of signer-uppers! :)
{oh, and hearty snacks and chocolate? where do i sign up??? well, besides the post you just put up.}
