I have been an Elements user since the first Deluxe Photoshop debut. I have upgraded to every new version and yet I am still learning how to use all the fantastic tricks of Elements. I recently stumbled on to this forum and have learned more than all my previous experience has provided. A great forum with a lot of intelligent contributers. My first digital camera was an Olympus C-2000, 2.1 Mp. I recently received an early Christmas present of a Nikon D-80 and needless to say I am very eager to put it to use. I have just submitted a few photos taken with my old camera to the Gallery under the user name billd2. Thanks to all you wise people out there.

Welcome to the Forum! You are going to love it here - everyone is so informative and willing to help any time of day. I've learned so much here and I would never have done it all on my own.

Saw your gallery - gosh, how adorable they are! They are certainly going to provide lots of opportunities for great shots!

Bill, what a face on the little guy in the main image. They are all adorable subjects for you to use your new camera on. You should add a link to your gallery under your signature for us to view it easier. I will post back in a minute with a link to Wendy's great instructions on how to do that.

In the mean time, Here is the link for all else to see.

Hi Bill -- and welcome aboard to the best forum on the web. The people here are so nice and helpful and I'm sure you will find endless sources of inspiration here just like I have any many others before me have. Like you I stumbled upon this site a few months ago and since then I've been back here almost every day to learn something new. You'll love it here.

I looked at your forum and it is clear that you are an accomplished photographer. Your facials are great - and I love how you used the dark black backgrounds to create stunning focus on your subjects. I know you'll find a new level of features and performance with your new camera and with the tips you learn from the folks here. My advice to you is to check out the forums of all the people who have responded to you so far. They have some truly amazing photos and ideas captured on their forum web sites. I'm still slogging my way through most of them trying to learn the techniques they used on their pages.

Enjoy and again, welcome aboard.
Ken

Ken, and all you folks that have offered compliments and advice, thank you. This forum is one of the best that I have observed for learning and receiving tricks of the trade. I am amazed with all that can be accomplished with PSE 5 and all the knowledge that you contributors offer on this forum. Also, the informative videos offered by Elements are really a learning experience. I know that I will never master the program but every visit here I learn something. It seems the more I learn the more fun photography becomes.
