pse8/7

Well the new pse(pse 8) has been around for awhile but is it really that much differient than 7. Take a look at the link http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pixelbased/gr/pselements.htm
This link will direct you to an article of what people think of the new pse. I dont really like the new one because it is SO much like 7. Disagreing with the article, i think that pse 7 is beast. And it is not for amature photographers. I have seen the better photo-editing programs and i think that the pse seires are much better, but that may just be for the type of editing i do, but i do a wide varitity from
photo-manips to simple retouches to full-out renderd things. Its really up to the user.
I NEVER really use the organizer, i think thats there for people who wanna say that they use pse but just always press organize unstead of the edit.......wooow. Okay, it is beginer friendly if you want it to be, but if you know what you are doing and have a plan for what you want, then it can be much harder.
Photoshop.com is for people who are too lazy to use real photoshop.....and i say get a life!!!!!!
I just use it for editing purposes.

Simple Animation in Photoshop

http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/333/6/1/Icon_for_breadfrommypants_by_pieface75.gif
above is a link to a simple animation i did awhile ago!
here is a simple animation i did as an avatar in pse7. To create animation you make a seprate layer for each frame, when you save you can ither save for web or save it as a gif file. When the panel there comes up, click the checkmark box that says animate, below.....towards the bottom you can choose the frame duration. Then save.
Please tell me if you cannot see the animation because if not i will post a link to where it is animated!!!!!!
