Mine have definitely gotten better over time with lots of practice. I just bought the PhotoshopCS3 extended version and I’m taking online college courses to get familiar with it and possibly using it for a future career move.
I don’t have Photoshop. I use Corel Paint Shop Pro. I’m not in the business so don’t need such a high-end graphics platform. And, I don’t do much combining graphics so I’m pretty rusty at it.
