Hi…I had an occipital stroke during a procedure last April and have many vision changes. Unable to work I am back at working at learning Adobe Photoshop. I tried your tutoral today and after many moments of “I can’t do this” I did it. It is partially my rendition as I had trouble with a few things…mostly my memorie and organizational skills (now). Thanks for the lesson…helps me go forward, again.
