I (heart) Photoshop!

I am attempting to learn Photoshop. It is very difficult for those who have not gotten "into" it. My copy did not come with a book or anything so I found one on Amazon for 3.00 (shipping was 3.99) but who cares...for 6.99 NOW I might be able to teach myself a little more about how to edit all the many photos I take! I want to learn how to make a color picture black and white THEN bring back on of the colors in it...like Toby's yellow boots. But see what I've done so far...

My book has shipped...so when I get some time (where ever I can find it!) I will start teaching myself how to do oh so much more!
