I have been watching your work on Custom wallpapers
Good work
But could do some wallpapers without the "7" maybe?

I’m happy to see a topic like this.

Your welcome

I wouldnt mine seeing a couple of links to useful sites got to do with CS4 (downloading atm) before jumping into it

Got any good ones post them up please :)

There are just so many resources on the web. I haven't used them much for a while so its hard to recommend.
As I said before - Adobe is probably a very solid starting place - they have very good videos and tutorials, which at the least will bring you up to date with what is now in PS and Premier and get you running.

After that I'd suggest an hour in a good computer bookshop (or there's probably a Borders in Newcastle) and plonk your $A70 or so down on a book that appeals to you. I've always liked the Peachpit Press Books/lynda books - HOT (Hands on Training) but my last volumes were the 8 series so I'm pretty out of date.

I've got a copy of the PS Layers Bible for CS3 by the loo. Its 800 pages and got lots of good stuff which filters thru to everything one does in PS. Never bored on the crapper!

As usual best of all is to sit next to someone who's more advanced than you and watch. Not very practical tho.

I run Adobe CS2 on mine. The Photoshop application is stable, and to me, less confusing that the newer versions.

I edit video on the computer too, with Adobe Premiere Pro, which came out in 2003. Is stable, and works better than in my XP laptop
