After that I havent' really messed around with photoshop for a few months, but due to this new forum and signature requests I've starting tooling around with it again
This past week I've learned even more new tricks, such as blending images and furthering transperancy of images.
I made Sarah a new sig with the basics of the prior tricks.

Once you learn a few tricks here and there it's really amazing what this program can do. And i've still got a TON to learn. Let me know if anyone needs any help with anything, and I am always curious to learn new things as well. I'm sure there are some pros on this forum some where... so start spilling the info!
