I'm only here to offer you moral support
. I have Photoshop and I have *such* a love/hate relationship with it - I WANT to *love* it, but I'm pretty sure it *hates* me.
I just don't find it super intuitive to use - and you can really get into advanced use, if you want/need to. What I really need to do is take a class, and there is a wonderful one offered here in Phoenix...just can't seem to get around to it....
