What This Group Is All About:
We have decided to start a group dedicated to Photomanipulators of all levels. The main purpose of this group is to teach and be taught. We, the founders will dedicate our spare time in helping new members get on their feet and teach them everything we know about Photo manipulation that they're willing to learn. We hope that other members will be able to teach us a thing or 2 and we hope even more that they will take the time and help other members. We will be throwing different competitions once we get started and hopefully have many more activities.
We want everyone to feel absolutely free to contact us about anything at all!

By joining this group you are saying that you are willing to help.
Here are a few examples of ways you can help other members:
Giving useful comments/critics to other members art.
Answering questions other members may ask.
Helping step by step through MSN or some other IM.
Writing a tutorial.

GROUP HELPERS
These people have decided to take some time to help anyone in the group with any type of photomanip problem. Feel free to get in contact with any of the members below.



BIO:
My real name is Jessie, which i prefer. I'll help you however I can, whether it be through notes, MSN or Yahoo instant messengers. I can give step-by-step instructions if needed, or just a good critique if that's what you want. I practically live on the internet, but I'm not always in the chatroom. If you need some help or advice, feel free to note me about anything. If you're interested in me making some kind of a tutorial, tell me and maybe I'll give it a shot. I'm not too good at finding stock though, I'm usually the one looking for it! Lol.

BIO:
My name is Madness and I'm willing to help anyone, from suggestions to critiques to step-by-step instructions. I'm also very good at finding stock, if anyone needs help with that. I've pretty much been in the chatroom whenever I'm online, talking to people when them come in, if anyone wants to come join me, that'd be awesome. I've been planning on making a huge list of *good* stock artists by category and stuff. I was also planning on doing a simple tutorial on blending with the erase tool and layers, because I get a lot of people asking me about it.

BIO:
My name is Andrew Schepers and I'm a professional freelance graphic and web designer with experience as a photographer as well. For the time being, I work more or less exclusively for bands in the Midwest, USA. I think there is as much to learn from teaching as there is from being taught, so if there's anything I can do to help a struggling designer/illustrator/manipulator, it benefits us both for me to lend a hand. I can help with anything from basic illustration suggestions to advanced photoshop tutorials.
