Re-Learning

I came into the Navy as a still photographer, and I learned how to use Adobe Photoshop in school and it is what we used on the ship.  Adobe Photoshop 7.0 was the last program I had experience with.

So when the Navy merged and I was no longer a photographer, but a "Mass Communication Specialist" I moved from Italy to Greece and had my first run-in with broadcast journalism.

Found I had a knack for Anchoring the news, very much enjoyed it... but everyday I was learning something new I was forgetting my old skill set.  The program costs a lot of money and I just didn't have it to spend.  So I waited, and waited while reading about all the new updates and watching the prices skyrocket and thinking I will NEVER have photoshop again!

And one day... in Korea I FINALLY got my hands on Adobe Photoshop CS4!  I have only read about its wonders!  Then I tried to use it... I remembered how to use its basic functions but jumping from Adobe Photoshop 7.0 to CS4 was a bit of a challenge.  So I got some refferance material to learn from and practice with. 

Soon enough I will be a photoshop master again!
