Trying to learn...

My wonderful husband bought me Photoshop Elements when I first mentioned to him that I wanted it...almost 4 years ago!  And, I'm still completely intimidated and overwhelmed by it.  I have no idea what I'm doing with it.  All the actions, layers, filters...  I'm clueless.  I even bought a book and decided I'd work my way through it, but after just a couple chapters I felt like I was never going to be able to edit my pictures without needing to use the book every.single.time. and I gave up on it.  But, I'm motivated...  Jarrod mentioned recently how I never use the software, and I realize it was a complete waste of our money if I don't learn it.  So, I have to just jump in with both feet.  Here's my first attempt...

This pic was taken in Ohio, and I LOVE it!
After playing around for a little while, this is what I ended up with...




I love how it turned out, but I still have SO much to learn.  It's a HUGE goal of mine for 2012.

I am in the same boat. I bought photoshop elements a few years back and I have no clue how to use it. I tried it for a while and got a little discouraged. Maybe we can learn together. I love Rileys picture....
