I also just read that you do these with Photoshop. I just signed up to take some Photoshop classes this fall.
Since getting Dublin my husband bought me my first digital camera that also makes videos. So I just got Photoshop Elements 3.0 with Premier Elements 1.0 so I can play with both. Since I have trouble with written instructions I can't wait for the classes!
I've used older versions of Elements (I have the original version here if anyone is interested-its from 2001, but does the basics and probably a lot more that I don't know about). The version in between with the sunflower logo is what we use at work. The only thing I really know how to use it for is to view and crop pictures, so I want to learn about layers, editing etc.
Do you think I'll be able to do things in Elements similar to what you do with the regular Photoshop? Do you work with videos as well as images? As I delve deeper into this hobby would you mind if seek your advice? The classes aren't until October, and I can hardly wait!
Sorry so long, but I got excited!!  |
Oh you'll love taking classes....I'm jealous! I've never taken a class on Photoshop. I've taken an Adobe Premiere class though and that was really neat (but I've forgotten a lot....and it doesn't help with learning photoshop, haha.)
Everything I've learned about Photoshop (and imageready, where the animations are completed) was just my own research and goofing off with the program. But my goofing off has paid off, haha!
You can PM me anytime if you need help! I'm sure with a basics photoshop class you'll get what you need to know about animations - they're REALLY not that hard once you know the basic photoshop tools and have an idea in your head......I love photoshop b/c of that. You can make an idea a reality!
I'll be working on your avatar shortly! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Dublin! OMG it's sooo cute. If I had thought of that I may have named Sully that, lol. I'm very proud of my irish heritage (however much there may be left of it in my mix of the world family haha!)
