This is certainly exciting and very versatile. It makes me want to try photoshop! Do you have any other easy suggestions for experimenting with Photoshop for the first time?
Thanks for your comment. Sorry to take so long to respond. Since I had comments turned off, I couldn't figure out how to respond. Just goes to show what a complete NEWBIE I am. Ha ha!! -- In Answer to your great question. Because Photoshop is such a hefty program. I suggest that first timers just explore what tools are available first, by hovering over the tool bar on the left and reading each tool tip. Then explore a few of the drawing and painting tools first -- such as the Paintbrush and Pencil. Beyond that they will need to understand the Layers Panel -- or else they will immediately get stuck. So second, open the Layers panel under the Window menu. Click some other tool - like a shape or text and notice how it creates a NEW layer. To move forward and use other tools it is important to be on the layer that you want to effect -- otherwise they won't work. THEN once you know that explore the tools to your hearts content and make a mess! If you get stuck, check what layer you are on. Then move forward.
