 Fun Fun Fun!
I had PSCS5

and returned it.
PSE9 is just fine for me.

Another Photoshop Experiment

This one has like 13 layers. I made a couple cool ones in between, tried to save them but lost them somehow. Egads, Photoshop is equally exhilerating and exhausting. Isn't everything tho? Kids, Men, jobs, even Shopping!! I don't like how dark she is around her eyes, but I try different blending modes, love one, but have to try others, lose the one I loved, can't find it again, say Fuck it, Make a Decision already, and just pick one!! This is after hours of deliberation. I'm very excited because Sunday I have a Phone Tutorial with Andre. Poor man, he is going to need Xanax when I am done with him. xoSusan
