# I just want
something that makes me want to go on after I start something then realise it's going to take days as opposed to hours. I lose interest.
I have got this far.

# a sense of self satisfaction?
thats the most i hope for after i've drawn something.
i greatly respect anyone who draw something original, i find it impossible to create anything of any substance because i can't work what the finished product on the paper/screen will look like or what i need to do next

# I think that
after about 4 years of slogging through countless tutorials to learn photoshop techniques that I've learned enough to knock out one or two good images every now and again but I have spent a good deal of money on DVD's to learn from the experts.
At the end of the day it's better to get the techniques drilled into your head so that when the ideas come it takes little thought as to what it needs to get the effect.
For instance adjustment layers. I took no notice of them in the past but I've realised how valuable and time-saving they are ( not to mention you don't bastardise your layer/work to get an effect that you like. It's all about technique and I can't learn tattyshop as quickly as they can sell me the next version with more bells and whistles.

# No point.
Save your money. The casual photoshopper ( and I mean me ) has no need of anything beyond Photoshop 7 ( unless you can make use of and justify the extra expense for the warp tool ) and PS5 airbrushes are still considered the best.
I upgrade because I can. but I'd not had CS2 for much more than a year before I paid £724 for CS3 design premium as an upgrade. It really wasn't worth it and I still use Illustrator CS2. I think I've yet to open dreamweaver and flash.

# Also they've now got rid of IMAGEREADY!
I loved imageready.
Plus CS3's GUI seems to make things run a lot slower and generally just looks all streamlined and horrible.

# I would..
..tell you i know the feeling.. but i think you ignored me.. so instead i shall let the people who haven't ignored me know that i also am suffering from this problem. The end about two more complicated frames.. and then one fair simple four frames to loop... damn my want for over complication.. although I'm currenly working at about 6-10 mins a frame.. I have been at 15-20.. not sure if thats because thats how long it takes.. or my only just getting to grips with photoshop...
