I have photoshop cs and have started to, I am signed up for a class in the spring, that and how to take proper photo's....
james,
check out Pbase website. It'll show what settings (aperature, shutter speed) people use in certain picture scenarios/scenes.
I'm just gettin into photography and having alot of fun. I'm on a steep learning curve right now. I only shoot in manual mode and just starting to understand the concept of light. I've been given the opportuninty to shadow/assist a friend of mine with his professional studio. No time
Playing with CS3 is overwhelming and so is lightroom. I'll understand it one of these days.
