I heart Photoshop!

So I'm still very fairly new to this whole PHOTOSHOP thing. I used to use "Corel PSP X". I used it for years but now that I have a mac, I had to switch to Photoshop. Luckily, like I've said before, I was able to apply what I learned in PSP to Photoshop so it wasn't too hard to figure out how to use it. But there's still a lot I have to learn... Anyway, I had someone contact me and ask me how I created the watermark on my pictures. There's so many tutorials out there you guys... all you gotta do is google. That's what I do. Google is my best friend. Google "Photoshop Tutorials" and you'll find a ton of tutorials that will help you learn how to use it. I wanted to share some of the tutorials that I have found and have been very helpful to me... There's a ton really but here are just a "few". Oh, and links to a few photoshop brush sites. Some that I found, use and love as well. Enjoy...

Tutorials:
Photoshoptutorials.ws
How to Watermark
Softening Skin and Removing Blemishes Tut
Good Tutorials.com
PhotoshopStar.com

Ok... enough tutorial links... those are a few of the links I visit everyday to try tutorials and stuff. Sometimes I just try them just to try them and learn what tools do what and to learn new techniques. So I recommend you do the same if you're a beginner like me! LOL

Brushes: [some of my favorites] Most of them I find at Deviantart.com. Just do a search for "Photoshop Brushes" and you'll find a lot of them.
Eyelashes: These ROCK! I actually used it on my updated Banner. Notice a difference? *wink* ;)
The Magic Box
Vector Line Brushes: I used these in my banner. =)
Floral Brushes

A great tool: Color Schemer. This is also another great program I use for picking colors and stuff... =)

Hope these came in handy! *wink*
