These are fabulous...can anyone tell me if photoshopping is hard? I'm about to try it but I want to know if it's possible for a guy 12 years old before i spend 2 hours on it.

You will have to dedicate a considerable amount of time into photoshop to get the finer things out of it, and as i have observed even the easier things are hard for beginners (I have taught a lot of them. >_>). Then theres the fact that it's an expensive toy, something I don't see a 12 year old affording.(thats if you dont turn to the dark side of the internet.:P)

It's time-consuming to get something nice. not hard, just takes a while. (I'm talking about the basic editing stuff).Patience is needed, a lot.

Buying a tutorial book, or finding a good one online is very much worth it (or taking a cass, but I didn't have the opportunity at 12 to take 'classes'). Photoshop is only as hard as you make it :P (I keep it simple... don't need more stuff to remember)

I will admit, it does take both full knowledge of photoshop and a sense of design in order to make beautiful graphics. Things like tags are easy, but full-body vector works or wallpapers may take a longer time due to techniques used or the sheer size of the canvas.

A guy I know on another website does Wall Scrolls using photoshop and vector work. The size of some of this works is Mindblowing!

Bunch of random stuff posted in various parts of the forum for fun, collected in one place:

I typically use Paintshop Pro myself, seems to be easier to navigate around and can get more or less same end result as with Photoshop (free trial of it is available from corel.com probably these days) Mostly it doesn't take me very long but I don't spend ages making sure everything is perfect (it's just for fun on here hehe)

Biggest tip I can give to novices: use layers! Use them a lot! Layers are your friend You can composite a picture with many parts to it that way and work on one part at a time, without screwing up the whole thing (and you can undo/unpaint parts of layers if you mess up)

So...I decided to give it a try. This is my first attempt at anything like this, so my cutting was neat but the follow-on wasn't.



And this was a funny shot, so nothing really added.

I LoLed ^^

As far as the OP goes, I once read in a design magazine, that many artists see photoshop, not as a program, but as an opperating system. It is a program with a massive depth, and yet, adobe do a good job of making it as user friendly as possible. If you are lucky enough to be able to play around with it, I say go for it! I started using my first graphics package at the age of around 8 (admitedly it was on a commodore 64... and consisted of a mouse, a paintbrush tool, a fill bucket tool, and about 16 colours ).

Also, CS3 Beta is available for public download!
