Hi, i'm ban, moving to PS!

[BAN]

Hey, i'm ban, 19i've been using another program since a little bit, and i've had tons of fun making images for people from my gaming community.
They've been requesting my stuff alot but I don't think i'm good enough to make quality images, so I decided to start using photoshop

Heres what I made in the last 3 days










So thats what I do

I am here looking for someone that could help me transition into using photoshop (that would help me apply the techniques I know but on photoshop)
If anyone has a little bit of time for me, just a couple of minutes that would help me so much !

And your works look good. Welcome to the forum.

Xara's GD is OK.... I'll call it a gentler version of Corel Draw.

If I recall correctly how it works, you may need to learn new things or adapt your Xara know-how to Photoshop's workflow. Being a gentler version of Corel which I use, I have to do a bit of tweaking to adapt my Corel procedures if I were to do the same work in PS.

But it won't be that difficult as you may imagine. Start with the PS basics..... get to know the PS tools and how PS layers and masks work (it's kinda different in Xara).

Play around with Photoshop and don't be shy to ask questions - big or small, silly or complex.

Glad to have you aboard......
