I love Adobe Photoshop!

Psst! I have a secret . . I think I'm addicted to Photoshop. My darling husband gave me this computer program for our wedding anniversary and I've just begun playing with it. I had wanted it so I could learn to restore the old black and white photos that my parents managed to sneak out of Cuba. I've just begun to get into the program, with my son John as tutor-par-excellence. Even with my limited experience, the improvement is remarkable!

This photo is of my brother, Al, at age 8. I started with this one because it wasn't in too bad a shape. Still, it's easy to see the changes.

This is before . . .
And this is after . . .

Now you know where you'll find me in the foreseeable future . . .

Maria, The before and after is impressive. Do you have photo shop elements or photo shop something else?

CS4???? I'm jealous. . . of both the CS4 (I have CS3) and your tutor! Excellent job on this Maria! What were your steps? Photoshop only becomes more and more addictive over time. Have you ever gone to lynda.com and looked at its offerings? (In case John gets preoccupied with that college stuff come fall.)

Steps? I don't know what to say. I was just sort of all over the place. I'm hoping that as I get better, I'll get a system going.
