I think have photoshop anxiety!

[TessaW]

I have been using photoshop for some reason or other for 20 years and I am still unraveling the depths of it's mystery. When I watch youtube videos, I too have to pause it and watch it approximately 100 times before I get and remember what they are doing. I've never taken a class, so there's no pressure, but I can understand your anxiety. I suspect it's hard for most people. Just focus on learning the best you can and give yourself a pass no matter what grade you get.

I heard this on the radio the other day: Do you know how you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Take it slow... There is no need for pressure. You are not being graded for this per se; your job does not depend on this class (I assume). Take it slow, and have FUN. If it is not fun, you need to stop. Plain and simple. You won't enjoy it, and you will dread every time you open Photoshop. Good luck!

Just like what @TessW said, I having using photoshop since college and 17 years later I am still learning new things. I learn something and forget something else and have to relearn it again.

@tombarrettillo Thanks Tom. I just need to remember that I don't HAVE to learn it and try to enjoy it because, actually, it would be so helpful to me if I did in many ways. BUT, I need to be patient-that, is true with everything I do. So, I will cerrtainly try to relax, take my time and enjoy it.

I finished my homework!!!!! Yay! Working with layers, transforming and moving things around and colorizing them. Now if I can just remember how to do it! I took notes but....anyway, I am feeling much better now that it's done! Tomorrow morning I can work on my painting for my dummy. Whew! What a relief.
