Re: was Re: [APML] Layers (8 vs. 16 bit images) not Photoshop books/astro
Hey Dick,
From the ads I ran on astromart, I found that PS7 Bible was highly
recommended. I've already found a copy and will continue to look for
Classroom in a Book. Greg Hartke has also been kind enough to mail me
some manuals he was able to use. If these don't work, I will keep
trying other reading material until it all makes sense. That could take
awhile though.
One way or another, I will muddle my way through this stuff.
