I use Photoshop all day (on good days), and I've been using it since 1994, version 2. I worked as a photoshop professional in the mid 90s on some very high resolution images, and I've created all kinds of graphics for all my clients since then. Now I'm putting effort into printing my own photographs, working again on very high resolution files, but now with the advantages of years of experience and a much much faster computer, not to mention the improvements in Photoshop over the last decade.
When I printed large format photographs in the darkroom, I was a master at manipulating contrast through chemisty and paper choice, and making a print sing with dodging and burning, techniques I learned through study with Ansel Adam's assitant in the early 80s (and Ansel's technical books). As I started using photoshop, I found that the fact that I knew in my mind what I wanted helped me work efficiently. Now I've got a very fast dual G5 Macintosh with a few GB of RAM, and I consider working with photoshop like playing a musical instrument. My fingers move, and the instrument responds quickly; I know what I want and how to get it.
I can manipulate images from complex masking, layering, repairing, dodging and burning, layering. Anything you need. Aside from layout and adding design elements, I can improve the printability of any of your images. I'm happy to work freelance at the rate of $110/hour, billed by the minute.
Below are a few things I did as fooling around. My photos (especially when viewed as large fine prints) show the fruits of my photoshop skills; most of my web designs are created in photoshop too. I'm good at it. email me to discuss your project.
