Hey Thanks SONY!

I'm an amateur photographer. And I love taking snaps. But sometimes I feel like giving my pix some cool effects. So, I've downloaded Adobe PS CS3. But couldn't give my photos the effects as I had no idea about Photoshop. Then I thought why not give this course a try. So, I did, and after that I learned so many things. Actually now I can do pretty much anything I want with PS3. And all the credit goes to this course - SONY. :D
So, if you're like me and want to have some practice, this course is perfect for you. OR if you know photoshop, I'd still recommend you to have atleast a look on it.

Have CS 3. Still don't understand the Eyedropper tool. Could not use it properly.

All other aspects of the course were very beneficial.
