I'm more than satisfied with one or two.

lol, I'm used to people "adjusting" photos; in fact if you look hard enough you can find some photo shots i had taken just for that hehe...

I worked for Adobe for a while on Photoshop, our training was actually photo manipulation

I have the Gimp but I haven't done much with it.

I'm a photoshop kid :nod:

Photoshop CS3 goes into Beta on Friday

stop that... I just upgrade to 2.3 Suite (Only updated really to Acrobat 8 with it)

I like updates, but spent too much money lately on upgrades. Need a break on spending.

With Photoshop CS3 just months away, new details emerge

I was a private beta tester for Adobe on CS because I am a former tech (was providing tech support on several versions ;)...

I have CS2 and was going over some stuff with one of our Graphics Artist guys - Amazing stuff when you know how to use it well.

Indeed... A good training manual to get to know basic features is the "Classroom in a Book" book series that Adobe ships out, they're really some of the best "get 'er started" guides that I've seen (and yes, all of the photoshop tech support people are trained using it)
