Thanks,

I am getting into bird photography.
It started with some hummingbirds, and now, I am planning on setting up a
blind this spring, and doing some serious photos.  I do it off the deck at
my cabin, so I can set up feeders, and a camera on a tripod with camo

I just bought my spouse Photoshop CS2 for her birthday. While she is no
novice to computers or cameras, she *will* be very much a novice to
Photoshop CS2. I am aware of three tutorial books: (1) Adobe's
