Any photochop heads on the forum? I'm playing around with it trying to do a few flyers/posters etc, and slowing picking it up, but if you know of a good tutorial on the web I'd much appreciated being pointed in the right direction! :D

Also, on the subject, anyone know of a filters/effects I can use to give a blue light kinda effect?

I can trick around with Photoshop but I'm no guru, in my experience, its the sort of thing you have to work with for a while before you have a good understanding of all the functions. Sorry, I'm not much help here!

I'm using v7 at the moment, first time I've really got anywhere with it (although I haven't really tried too hard up to now). The magic wand thingy is handy out but it doesn't seem to want to just blank out the bits I haven't selected so there's been some copying and pasting happening.

I'm afraid to ask what a 'reasonable' price for PS v8 CS is! :wink:

There must be some good free tutorials around the web though? Been doing a little googling, but a lot of whats out there seems to be very specific to a particular function/feature.

LOL, glad you cleared that up :)

Take a lok around the various Bitorrent sites, theres one or two Photoshop books available for download, some of the Gnutella type P2P networks are also worth a look in that regard.

through its a bargain..but if u get caught selling these u will be asked to bend over..... :lol: thats software piracy with intent to sell, you get put behind bars for sure!!

you say it comes cracked! does that mean that you cracked it yourself or used a crack patch ?

your right you do have to be suspicious about downloading cracked versions over the net, but what i usualy look for is a retail version and then i get a serial key

just my 2 cents

I'd just like to point out that FTO-Ireland does not condone software piracy of any form, if you like the software go out and buy it!
