Finally i got adobe...

Hello fellow designers:
After a long wait, i got the adobe creative suite premium, wich includes: Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, Indesign CS ect.
But now i have to learn photoshop cs....any of you have some tips? if got alittle problem that i don't know how the adjust a new picture in size...when i just paste that picture into cd front cover template...
But i saw some terrific font things, things i can't do with my old software...
So if any of you can tell some basics....please feel free to tell me :D

Cool! I hope to learn both pieces of software real soon, allready asked some people at my work (who are at design schools, 1 is working at jan de bouvrie) how to do somethings in photoshop, like scaling pictures, playing around with the fonts ect.
But very cool of you Ron to show and learn me somethings about these pieces of software, hope to learn much more from you, cause at the first sight it's a pretty diffecult piece of software.

Thnks for all those good points here, as you can see i made my first .gif avatar (used the same pic) but made this one in photoshop, yeah! Still a long way to go for i can show you a cd design made in photoshop or illustrator..but learning hard to understand this software a little.

There's a line of learning cd's made by a a company named (I believe) Lynda. These cd's cost a LOT of money, but are amazing tools to learn professional programs like the Adobe suite. They are a bit interactive, and use videos to show you how to do it. That's very handy because you can actual see how to do it.

I will PM you with more info today or tomorow ;)

Thanks Albert! never heard of those cd's, but always good to see some things on video, than it is a little easier to understand it.
BTW long time i've seen you here on the board...everything allright?
