A good read from RetouchPRO owner/admin Doug Nelson.

---------------------------

To reiterate some of Doug's observations: We WELCOME new threads, questions, issues, etc. There are many RetouchPRO members who are ready and willing to help or advise -- in all forums, not just this one that focuses on manipulation.

Rookies, newbies and those with little experience take note: There's no shame being at or near the bottom of the learning curve, regardless of the topic of interest. All the "old pros" started at the same place you did: The Beginning.

So if you're sitting on a question, why not take a leap of faith and start a thread? There's no risk. You won't lose your job -- unless you're at work, posting on company time and get caught! :) Be assured you won't get bashed, hassled or laughed at like you did at school or perhaps other online venues. We do "respect" well here at RetouchPRO.

I believe you will be pleasantly surprised and there's a great chance will learn something.
