Tutorials

I have been using Adobe Photoshop since 1996 when I bought a copy of Mac Addict which had a 30 day trial of Adobe Photoshop 4. I knew that I had one month to use the program and each day I devoted an hour to using it, sometimes doing the tutorials in Mac Addict and other magazines around at the time. I had so much fun that I have been addicted to Photoshop ever since. In this section of my site I included some basic tutorials with screen captures and files that you can download and experiment with.
