HI... I wasn't sure where to post this thread... However, here is my problem...

I'm opening my first PC Store in two weeks... Besides selling PC or office equipment there will be a department for design... I'm having hard time to find some to employ and to work for me a a professional, so I must give all of the candidates some photoshop test runs...

I'm asking if someone can give me an advice for what kind of tests i should I put.... And also are there any good sites where I can download some photos that are pretty good photos, that requires different level of skill to take out the background using channels, or some other technique...

Also a good site with video tutorial would be useful, to give the chosen candidate some good starting point to increase experience, cause I'm a such an Bad teacher, I don't have the temper to teach somebody...

I'll appreciate any advice... Thanks

Anyone .... Please ...
