Hey all.

Last week one of my tutorials went live on the PIMA site.

Although I have written about the Liquify subject on the Retouchpro forum in the past, the pdf there is a more in depth and visual experience.

I will be posting new Tutorials/Tips there every 3 months, rotating with some other Photoshop Authors/Users. There are a number of very good tips there from the last 2 years or so to check out.

I will post a link here each time one...

It will be done, and yes it is delayed, and yes I feel bad about it and should have kept my hands off the keyboard instead of announcing it. Don't forget I am doing everything on my own, including distribution and burning copies, etc.

This has come about as over at least the last 3 months i have been experimenting more and more with my camera and learning more along the lines of what to do ! plus i always wanted to zoom in more on things and now have more capacity to do so
I could give a lot more reasons to justify my purchase but it is done now...

A few months ago I moved to a new house. For the first time in a couple of decades I have a proper back yard. I've taken to doing the standard things, mowing, planting a few pretties, but my favorite thing so far is I've started feeding wild birds.

I've noticed a lot of similarities between the birds at my feeder and the visitors to our RetouchPRO forums here.

There are the wrens and sparrows that feed lightly but often, chirp and tweet the best they can, then quickly...
