Can anyone give me a quick crash course on photochopping. I just want to be able to start seeing things or atleast get an idea of how things look, but I don't want to be bugging everyone. Can I do this witha standard windows paint program.
I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to help me out with this... So let me thank you in advance!

 

Good question... I too would like to learn the basics....

 

Can you do this with standard windows paint? LOL That's too funny. Nope, sorry, that will NEVER happen. That program is not worth the space on your HD. Delete that junk.

You need photoshop or a similar program. I use a free open soure photoediting program that does everything I need it to do.

Once you have a real program you should look for an online tutorial on how to use it.

 

This might be difficult to do through the forum IMO. My wife is a graphic designer and uses this program. It can be quite complicated. You might want to consider buying a book like photoshop for dummies.

As far as MS point goes, you won't get anywhere near the same functionality as photoshop.
