Boy...this group is a great bunch. I want to extend thanks to all for your help, enlightenment, and encouragement. This site will be a daily stop from now on. As far as myself, I am a traditional artist and am now getting my feet wet in computer artistry. I find many of the programs very frustrating. I do have 3-D Max, but I am only 20 or so percent adept with this at this point. I have been working in Photoshop for about three years now, I can get by with everything except masks, which I guess I need to learn in order to composite. After effects is next. I love the computer medium, and will continue to plug away at it. Again, thanks to all. See you on the screen. Sincerely, Steevler

Welcome I have been working as a graphic artist on (and off) the computer for about a decade now....and have only in the last few months started with Poser and bryce. I agree this forum is a great place to learn. I have learned more here than from any manual ;) ..and making and using masks is a very very important function to effectivly use photoshop. I would highly encourage to take the time to study and practice with them. Rawn

Yes, I agree. There is an invaluable amount of tips, links and wisdom wandering around here. Plenty of passion too, as can be seen by flaming posts a couple of times a week. All part of the forum fun. ;) Regards and Welcome.

Absolutely correct, very passionate place and welcome to the party....it is wonderful here. Sharen
