    Thank you so much for all of this information! This is my first year in business (I recently started my blog and I finally have a website up and running) and I really enjoy reading your helpful tips and suggestions! I haven’t been able to check your blog in a few days so I just went through the posts I have missed and I REALLY enjoyed the one a few days ago about shooting RAW vs jpeg. Thank you for all of your help!

  15. Diane Stewart on April 23, 2009 at 9:41 pm

    Jodi, These tutorials are awesome. Thank you so much. Just little bits of info that really help!! I do have a question, I noticed in your texture tutorial that you have the textures in your windows dropdown (I think that is right) how do you get them there? Or more basic, where do you download them to and how do you organize them. Also, did you download each texture one at a time or can you download in sets? Thanks for any info……..

  16. Alanna on April 23, 2009 at 10:03 pm

  23. Katy G on April 24, 2009 at 9:08 am

    This is awesome since I’m fairly new to reading your blog. I had no idea you had so many great tutorials on here! Don’t know if you’ve ever covered this or not, but I’m trying to resize my images so clients who buy the files can only print to 11×14 and not sure how to do it (don’t know max. pixels there should be to print up to that size, but not any larger). I don’t want to necessarily crop the photos, just want to limit the size they can print for themselves. Any ideas?

  24. Jackie Beale on April 24, 2009 at 9:22 am

    WOW this is wonderful!! I am always looking for things to learn in photoshop. It’s an endless journey for me but you have just made it so much easier 🙂 Thanks so much Jodi
