The dark ages of PhotoshopHaving spent my teens using word processors to churn out god awful horror stories and avoiding the predatory advances of grammar-failures in AOL chatrooms, when I hit university in 2000 I was a girl with fairly good computer skills.
Enthused by technology, I discovered Dreamweaver and started building a personal website, complete with every gif I could possibly find. It needed pictures. Sadly, picture editing software had never cropped up in my computer past. So, instead of cutting down the pictures on screen, I cut down every single one of my pictures with scissors before running them through the scanner.
I have since gone on to a happy and fruitful career in online journalism, but suffice to say, the beginning of it required a fairly lengthy introduction to Photoshop.
