I have a weblog and one of the other bloggers on that community is Deshone. He had cool pictures on his blog, mentioning they were for a photoshopcontest. I looked at it and thought it was very cool. That was ages ago. But my entries weren't that good, I only had Paint to work with. A couple of weeks ago I needed to find something to do, or go totally crazy (to depressed to do anything), and my daughter gave me a copy of a cool shop program. I have been learning to use that and spitting out images here ever since.
You might say I discovered it twice.

I found PSC through google looking for tutorials to learn photoshop. Found the PSC tutorial page, then took a look around rest of the site. ReyRey's rose vase image did the trick

I forget exactly how I found it. Probably Google image search or something. I lurked for about a year before ever signing up though. Every day I'd look at the contests and decide which one I liked best, without knowing how Photoshop worked. Then one day I discovered the Gimp, and started using it, and joined in the fun here. All of my earlier chops were done with Gimp.

to much spare time i guess....

I was looking up tutorials on how to make snow

i googled photoshop contest. cause cutting and pasting friends heads on porn stars and shit got old.

Fortune cookie.

wanted to do something with photoshop. I thought a contest would be fun! Searched photoshop contests and there it was. Pretty amazing I know...

PSC came 3 moths later from a link I found somewhere.

Near two years ago,i was studying a course of PS and saw a review in TV about a contest, when i was to search at google i don't remembered its name.. searched photoshop contest and i found more than one.. but i chosen PSC! . It was very difficult because i dont speak english , this difficulty continues today Sorry.
