Ok, so I went out and took the plunge, bought CS4, cuz I have some ideas about what I want to do with this. So I know ziltch about this only what I see here and what I know in my head and heart what I want to do and I'll do it, just gonna take time. So some guy with a head full of ideas, no background in this, sort of working idea as to it, is there tuts here that can take me step by step through this so I can learn and create what I desire??

 The city I live in has a very old section to it many buildings that date back to the 1850's, I want to be able to restore them in pic form, I have photographed  over 1000 ships on the great lakes for over 30 years and want to use them and other forms of transport.  I know I am rambling here but these are all the things i wish and will do. Anyway I'll shut up now and see what sort of responses I get back, cuz am very excited to get on with this and see what I can do and contribute. Have enclosed some of the things I want to do      Thanks
