Eventually I started asking specific questions , like how to make a strait line , blending pictures , ect.
I found that everyone here was willing to help me to get better.
Look for Guarnere , Cold , and Buckweed. These guys helped me ALOT!
But I have had advice and assistance from just about every single person I asked!
Now I put this togather for an old clan-mate , but I think it may provide you with some ideas also....
