Was it FDR or Churchill that said "there is nothing to fear, but fear itself"? Well, I have been very fearful of printing photos here at home, or of using Photoshop. First I thought the pictures printed here would be horrible and professional places like Wal-mart or Walgreen's would do so much better. (hah, was I proved wrong!!!) Also, anything technical has always intimidated me, so I have steered clear of Photoshop. I even signed up for a free on line tutorial, but was too scared to walk through it step-by-step. Catie really has never had the patience to show me and when Chuck would start, I would get all glassy eyed. I think it took a neutral party to show me and that was Celia on Friday night. I started with printing some photos on Tuesday with Chuck's help and then I was willing to print more on Friday.
So there, HP printer and Photoshop, we are enemies no more and may even be able to share a work space.....
(by the way, the above photo and all of the photos from PADS night were edited through Photoshop.....next I probably should work on my photog skills....one thing at a time, my friend)

Hi - got the link from Becky! I know your fear! I got PSE 6.0 LAST Christmas and am finally just learning to use it. The scrapbooks etc has a few tutorials adn check out creating keepsakes magazine on line - Jessica Sprague is doing a tutorial each month. I made my first digital layout from last months issue but it isn't printing properly - keeps cutting off the side. Keepup though- i've actually been inspired by all the things that Becky does with PS - like multiple photos on a 4x6. Anyway - good luck! I'm right there with ya!
