An Experience with Multimedia

So far, I don't like any freeware photo editors... I don't like them at all. I think it is because I prefer more complex editing with more options.

I am coming from a slightly different background and went to school for graphic design. Therefore, simple to me in this arena is useless. I learned Adobe Photoshop and have always used that for any editing and imaging. I have to confess that I haven't been able to do much photo editing for some time because I've been so busy with work and school. I love to work with images but I often get lost in the process. For a while, I created jackets for funeral announcements. I would superimpose the a picture of the person (who was deceased) into an image that the family said "represented" him or her... So if that person loved golfing, I would take a picture of a golf course (or the course he/she frequented) and mask the person into the scene...

Doing this is something I truly enjoy but need the time to do it. I am now inspired all over again to get back into photo editing and to find ways to integrate it into my work as a librarian. Marketing is one avenue for this and teaching students is another. We have a "digital" art teacher, so I am excited to rekindle my knowledge and see what we can come up with together to take Photoshop to knew levels at our school.
