[QUOTE="bobmielke, post: 49208, member: 8952"] I've been using the full version of Photoshop since version 4.0 or about 16 years. It is what's called an open ended program. This means few, if any know all it's nuances or capabilities. The more you use it the faster your work flow. On simple edits it takes me about 15 minutes per photo to get where I want o go. I've done this so many times I have a routine I follow.
