OK... I have been in awe of the fantastic photos on Pbase but I have also been fascinated by how many of you use your creativity in photoshop to manipulate your images. Some names come to mind: tomr-photos, Johnebones, Fabienne, Carabias, jp DeLoof, and Thierry Lucas. These are a few of the artists I have stumbled upon that have me returning to their sites and I know there are many of you out there. Since I am totally intimidated by technology (as in, can't teach an old dog new tricks), I have been hesitant to give it a try. But I want to learn and have decided to fumble along and give it a go. If you can help me, I would appreciate it. All advice would be appreciated. If you have a favorite book to refer to, please let me know. And how do you come up with such clever ideas?
