Hey all,

I...have EVOLVED.

I just installed Photoshop CS5 Extended and I'm trying to figure out how to use it for vehicle-drawing purposes.

Does anyone know of good resources besides the generic help topics?

No idea, but a couple questions: how do you like it, and was it worth the $ to upgrade?

Using PS for drawing is futile, especially if you only have a mouse (no tablet). You can use if for rendering though. For drawing I'd stick to traditional stuff like pens/pencils.

I didn't upgrade - I bought the full version with my student pricing. As for if I like it - right now I'm impartial because I haven't actually worked with rendering my own drawings yet. I probably won't upgrade from CS5 for a very, very long time.

I guess I said the wrong word. Would you know of any resources that could give me some insight on rendering?

I found this page helpful when I started my first render.

Bear in mind, though, that I had some prior knowledge of PS (what the tools do, and, somewhat, how to use them) when I started rendering, so it might come harder for a newcomer.
