Danny,

Wow

, I too was raised in Culver City (a humble duplex on Jefferson Bl)

Valuable, useful? Value in the case of the forums is based on intangibles. Yes I consider it valuable because the forums entertain me. They do contain a lot of information, tips, and nuggets that can indeed be valuable. However, they are of no use to me unless I decide to apply them.

I am a newbie so they are both valuable and useful.

I am extremely pleased that I fell upon this website/forum. Being able to view what I deem to be professional level work inspires me to continue studying and learning from the lot here.

I was trying to involve myself in another forum prior to this one and it seemed to be a bunch of kids talking about how cool their ipods were. No forum management and way to much slang and broken sentences for me.

Thanks for the forum!

Well I didn't really need to post here as you all know how much I've been enjoying this forum since I decided to jump in. Now I'm addicted!

You'll be seeing much more from me!

Very, very useful. I'm still reeling

There's so much to take in, I think I could spend a week here and still only scratch the surface of what there is to see and learn

I wish I'd found you ages ago, cos I could have done with knowing I wasn't the only person who didn't know one end of a pencil from the other, but who craftily used Paintshop Pro or Photoshop

This forum is highly motivating, educational, inspiring, and worthwhile. I only wish I could come here more often. I learned about it over a year ago through reading Eismann's retouching book.

This site is my new home, as this site is the most fun , and informative of all
the sites I found so far.

When I search for tutorials, I find how to make a holiday snowman, or christmas trees. Here you learn how things, work. I thought know how
layers, masks, and smoothing worked, but here I'm getting the "rest of
the story"

I started out with a 8008 based computer (Digital-Robin), no graphics,
but Basic, Visicalc (spreadsheet), and word processor.

Next came my first PC a 16bit 8086, (a Leading Edge), with MS-DOS,
again no graphic's. My next PC still with DOS, but now with a color
display. I now found a public domain graphic's software, from a writer
from Cal. I think it was called IMP, maybe not, it only ran on DOS,
He had some good filters, incorporated, and the one I liked most was
called plasma, and could generate good cloud effects.

Next I went out and bought one of the early versions of painter, and
was promptly over my head, also the computer was under powered.

After that I have had several comuputers, and versions of PSP.
Regards, Dick

I think this is a great place for eveyone...not just the newbie, the experienced person as well. It is very informative and useful.

I have really only had a quick look at most of the forum but there is one post which I am following now that is really helping me to dvelop my skills as a photo artist.

Thank you DannyRaphael and everyone else who has shown their skills in this forum. I can't wait to learn more and develop my own.

This whole place is quite simply, "the nuts!". I especially like the sort of sub parts of each category that list resources and useful hints and tips - it's kept me amused for a few months now and also encouraged me to do more and more things.

Thanks everyone for making this such a brill place.

I find this forum extremely useful, and have it one my bookmarks toolbar so I can keep checking it. I know I don't post much, but I read a lot! I do photo repair, rather than glamour retouching, and often find the answer to problems I'm having. I've bookmarked quite a few of the threads in my 'techniques' folder. Just this week, I had to change a car from white to black and it just wasn't working. I found the answer in a thread about changing the colour of boots.

I really ought to post more!
