I use PSP 6 instead of Photoshop, but it's very similar and I'm very comfortable with its interface (I don't really care for any PSP versions above 6). I used it to fake the old grainy photograph appearance in the piece called "Arthur" in my gallery. And I used it to create a simple strap for the guitar in my piece called "Rock Me". The one thing I wasn't able to do though, is create footprints in the snow for my work called "The Way Home" I'm sure if I had more patience, I could have done it though. I want to try some of the effects folks have described here, too -
