Along with my New Year’s Resolution to take a sewing class, I resolve to take better pictures. Confessions of a Pioneer Woman brings some inspiration on acquainting myself with my copy of Photoshop.

Oh, and more photography inspiration…my camera arrived! Thank you all for your most excellent recommendations because this camera ROCKS! I am having a blast with it and can’t wait to share some photos taken with it. We are just getting acquainted, so please bear with me!

Anybody have some hints for a beginner in Photoshop? I gave up on it the last time I tried the program and have been using Picasa since then.

Note to Self: Do not measure flour and talk to husband and make lunches at the same time. We have to call out for pizza because I don’t believe dough is supposed to be a liquid consistency. Perhaps a cooking class might be a good investment?

    Super resolution! I resolved to do the same after getting soaked for so so pictures for last year’s Christmas pictures. Took my own this year and I like them better than the studio’s last year. Good luck. I’d highly recommend checking into your local camera club and checking out sites like DIY photography, and the Digital Story as you start to dig into photography. For Photoshop – check out Photoshop Killer Tips (short not overwhelming photoshop bits).

    I started out with Microsoft Digital Image or have even used Corel. They are more user friendly and have helped me understand Photoshop more. I love MDI but I’m not sure you can buy it after Vista came out, worth looking into though.
