About New Finish Photo

I first started getting interested digital imaging about ten years ago when I had to put together a photo slide show presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint for some work I was doing. I discovered how much fun manipulating pictures and various images could be. Then a friend introduce me to Paint Shop Pro (5) for image editing. I Learned a lot in about two years. Then the thought came to me "I could make a living doing this" so i started asking professionals about in this field. I was told about this program called Adobe Photoshop (7) at the time. I studied that for about five years learning photo restoration and colonizing. Then upgrading to Photoshop CS3 was really cool learning more glamour retouching. Now I'm currently using Photoshop CS4 using layer masking and facial reconstruction. So I have about ten years experience in the digital photo editing field.
