There has never been a better time to sign up for an online Photoshop training course. If you haven't already heard, there's exciting news from Adobe for Photoshop novices around the world-CEO Bruce Chizen has announced that Adobe is planning to put a free version of Photoshop on the Internet before the end of 2007.

The first time I tried to do a simple job with Adobe Photoshop, I was in for a shock. I had watched Photoshop artists and digital editors create stunning images and visual effects almost effortlessly-or so it seemed to me. One of them invited me to try my hand with a simple Photoshop job. My assignment was to select an object and paint it. What could be simpler? An hour later, I was ready to give up. I was so frustrated that I thought it must have been simpler to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel than to do what I was trying to do without Photoshop training.

The first time I tried to complete a simple job on Photoshop, I did everything wrong. When I was left to do it on my own, I found myself in deep water and I sank quickly. The people peering over my shoulder as they walked by didn't help. That's one of the tremendous benefits of online Photoshop training-no one is there peering over your shoulder all the time, unless you want someone to be there.

Photoshop has practical applications for professionals in every career field and every area of interest imaginable. A movie project is where you can best see the full flexibility and power of Photoshop. Remember that film is just "moving pictures"-one photographic image projected after another onto a screen at a speed of 24 frames per second.
