Overwhelming? I would say so..

So yesterday I got the full Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium. Let me start out by saying that the only Adobe Software I have ever used is Adobe Reader, and Adobe Photoshop Elements.

So I loaded the package on my computer which includes:

Adobe Bridge

Adobe Acrobat Pro.(Way more than the reader thingy)

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Illustrator

Adobe In Design

Adobe Go Live

Adobe Designer

Adobe Acrobat Distiller

Adobe Image Ready

Whew!! That's a LOT of shit! And all I really needed for my class was the photoshop but I figured if I was ever going any further with Graphic Design I would need the rest...and they sure are fun to play with...especially illustrator, and photoshop.

I must say though...there is a HUGE difference between Photoshop Elements, and Photoshop CS2. I was never that great in Elements(basic batch processing, red eye editing, and stuff was as far as I got) so CS2 is VERY overwhelming to me(hence my enrollment in the class)..I can't wait to wade through the books and figure out how to do some cool stuff in this software...

Here are some of the shots I have done some cool(to me at least) stuff with..

This is a picture of me with my new camera...and I can tell already that my favorite thing about Photoshop is the Glowing Edges thing...but I'm still playing and I'm sure there's WAY better stuff in it...I just haven't found it yet..
