Photoshop skills

Sometimes I feel bad about ignoring my mother when she needs my help in photoshop. I try to help her, but because she dont have sufficient computer knowledge to begin with, it is not easy to begin her encounter with what I will call a difficult software.

Even if I am using the software everyday, I am still not perfect at it, hence I am safely say it is not simple. I am not talking about the usual paint bucket function and etc ok, it is the colour correction that requires much practice and much learning.

I keep telling her that she have to either, learn computer skills from scratch, or keep practicing the basics of photoshop, at least 10 images a day.

I learnt photoshop the hard way too, hence there is no excuse, really. Especially when she wants to learn things the simplest way and feels it is enough to write down each steps.

Unfortunately, for each colour correction, it might not necessarily mean the same routine works. Kept telling her there's no fast route to 'success' but plenty of trial and error but she keeps thinking there is and I am not teaching her.

Sigh. So irritating.
