I love PhotoshopâŚ. No really, I love it. I canât believe Iâm uttering those words but itâs true.
As a beginner photographer, I had a rough start with my editing. I had no idea where to start so I resorted to using free programs I found on the internet. I thought these programs were genius! They would apply these absolutely horrifying âAMAZINGâ filters. I thought my pictures looked fabulous. I wonât even tell you the name of these programs because if I can spare you the horrific step I made youâll thank me for it someday.
It didnât take long before my frustration set in and I realized that my images didnât look professional. I just didnât have the ability to achieve the results of some of the photographers I admired. When someone finally asked me to slim their arm, I knew I needed to bite the bullet and get Photoshop. Using it was another challenge, I was so green that I had to Google how to even open a photo. Thatâs how little I knew.
The point of this is that anyone can learn Photoshop. I knew absolutely NOTHING when I started with it. If you have a little bit of patience, YouTube, an ebook reader, and a computer, you can go as far as your imagination takes you.
