Playing with Photoshop

I teach a multimedia course and we've been using Photoshop for some assignments. I like the program though it can be intimidating.

I've discovered 'actions'. Which has made my life in Photoshop so much easier. Actions are recorded steps of things you want to do to an image - like make the image black and white from color.

So check out the action that I applied to this photo (and noticed how I added my watermark; I need to do that more often).

Also, I want to do some digital scrapbooking and I signed up for an online course with Jessica Sprague. The course is called "Up and Running". Good stuff. I've learned a ton so far.
