Reflection, 2007/Nov/25 I’ve worked with Photoshop for about 10 years now. And I still don’t get it. I’ve taken a course, downloaded reams of tutorials, tried new things. Nothing seems to click. It’s like my brain just isn’t programmed for layers and masks and selections and gradients and stuff. So in the spirit of embracing a challenge I will try a new Photoshop technique every week (or so), until I either ‘get it’ or die trying. This colour-adjusted photo that looks like it’s a snapshot with a shadow is the first. The tutorial sucked: the trickiest steps were so vague I had to improvise.
