can somone point me in the right direction

Haha~ It's really not that hard once you understand the layers and tool pallets. (I can even hold your hand if you want ) I'm always learning something new w/Photoshop! I use Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign like freakin ALL the time for my school.

Photoshop is expensive but its free from a torrent site but i would never support the download of ilegal software

downloading is the easy part
getting the correct serial codes is a bit harder
