The plunge

[nolanc]

I too have taken many a persons advice and became a subscriber today:)

The amount of knowledge that is going to be coming into by poor brain just took a drastic jump:confused: That can be both good and bad but i think its all for the good.
I do have a question for Wendy though I have your custom shapes deckles down loaded and and unsure where to put it into elements. So i can access them. I know its a basic question but I need to learn.

Thanks Nolan

My suggestion is to keep a small spiral notebook next to your computer and start writing things down. That is the way I learned best in the beginning, heck, I still do it now! It makes for a great reference! Just don't move it from your comptuer space!

Nolan,

You won't regret becoming a subscriber - there is sooooo much information it is impossible to know where to begin.

Nolan --
Welcome aboard to the most friendly forum on the web in my humble opinion. You will learn so much here. I've only been here two months and already I feel like I've learned 5 years of information. To answer your question about custom shapes, put them in the following location:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 5.0\Presets\Custom Shapes

I have PSE5 and that is where mine are.

The notebook suggestion is a good one. My method is similar but in digital form. I keep a sub-folder in my photography folder that I put "keepers" from this forum in that I can pull up. I also keep a folder of images that use techniques that I would like to learn some day that I reference when I am looking for new things to try.

Enjoy your time here.
Ken

Thank you all:)
I knew a while back that this was the place for me, all of you people are more than helpful and friendly.
I have learned lots already and that is about to change for the better with your help and the help of so many others I too will be able to get more than outstanding results and be able to help others along the way also.

Thanks
Nolan
