I need to get help learning Photoshop.
I have PS CS2. I've used it ... a very lot. But I need to learn
it properly. I have decided to upgrade to CS5 when it comes
out, skipping 3 and 4.

I already posted this question in rec.photo.digital.slr-systems, but to
reach a wider audience, let me post it this here too, sorry if it is

very powerful machine is requisite.  I'm told that a 64 bit system with

I was looking for this software and found out that the company that made

Does anyone know of a similar program that is freeware?

How do I save a PDF diagram to JPG using  when I get the Adobe Acrobat

The original is a BMW shop manual that I paid $100 for the CDROM.

I have a few questions that I couldn't find the answer on the net...
