Welcome JamesC!

[Silky]

We're glad you've found our little corner of the web, and even happier that you've found at least one of our tutorials useful! I hope you'll feel right at home, and will let us know a little bit about yourself....:)

That was quick! I'm guessing you monitor the uploaded files.

In a way...:) I'm glad to see you adding an avatar....that usually means you a) feel comfortable enough to show a bit of yourself, and b) there's a chance you'll stay and play a bit....both of which are GOOD things. :D

[JamesC]

Yeah, this will probably be another forum that I will come to alot. I'm interested in the contests.

You give the community a variety of things to do when they come here, which is one of the reasons why I will come here regularly.

And again thanks for welcoming me (another reason why I come here)

[Silky]

I look forward to some of your images showing up in our contests. I see in your profile you think Photoshop is THE program to use. As an avid PaintshopPro user, I may have to "challenge" you on that at some point. :)

[JamesC]

You would probably do much better, as I've only been using Photoshop for about 2 months. In my opinion I would be an advanced beginner, but that's my opinion.

I hope I can share some quality images, but I'm no match for you guys (hopefully soon I will be ;) )

No matter what level you're at right now, you'll find all the help and advice you could ever want here at PA. If you want Photoshop help, Jolt is an absolute EXPERT! If you want advice or critiques on images, all you have to do is ask, and everyone here is more than happy to give you advice, or share little tips and tricks that they've learned over the years. Also, if you have images that you've already done and would like to, you can start a gallery in our member galleries area, where you can display some of the things you've worked on. It's always a nice way to get some comments on your work. Regardless, I know you'll find everyone here very friendly and helpful. :)

I noticed that as soon as I found these forums, not many forums are like this one. I'll enjoy coming here. Thanks for welcoming me.

Hey there Siouxie, thanks for the kind welcome.
I'm sure I will end up addicted as well ;) and I do hope to learn alot.

I just had a look through both yours and Silkenfairy's gallery, and I must say I am really impressed. Some excellent work you have both done there. I hope to share some images soon, I just hope they are good enough.

Hi JamesC,

I'm new around here and was glad like you to find a friendly forum. Welcome aboard!

-B

BTW- I wish I was making designs as cool as your avatar at two months! Major props, man!

[JamesC]

Thanks Blix, but I think your avatar is better than mine.

[Siouxie]

you¥re welcome JamesC, and i¥m sure your gallery pictures are going to be perfect, and also feel free to ask if you want to know anything about PA, us, our pictures or what else comes to your mind :)
