Yes, I am in love. With whom, you ask?
Photoshop.
As soon as I began my digital photography course this semester, I knew it was love at first sight.
I'm not the most experienced when it comes to computer programs; there are a few I know inside and out, but I haven't been in the habit of exploring new programs unless I need to. Over the course of this semester, I've been playing in Photoshop. I've been trying to figure out how each tool works and how I can make the best of the photos I have taken.
Over the Easter weekend, however, I realized just how much I love it. I'm on the email mailing list for Walgreens, and they had a special price on 4x6 prints. I never get around to printing them, so I figured I'd take advantage of the deal and go through all of my photos from the past few months. I planned to open photos, upload photos, and print photos. It didn't work that easily. Every photo could use a little cropping, a little lightening, a little brightening. These weren't for class; they were for me! Why should I strive for perfection? Because I can.
I have become an addict, and I don't mind one bit. What I do mind is that my trial period has expired. My laptop is no longer able to feed my Photoshop hunger. For the time being, I'm limited to school computers to work on my masterpieces. Photoshop could be an investment worth making.
(Does this sound like one of me previous posts?)
