I’m reading Louis Benjamin’s Photoshop CS5 in Simple Steps to get to know more about the process.

I’ve tried making notes as I go but they end up on scraps of paper or in various notebooks so today I’ve started an online notebook.

I won’t need to go rootling through a draw to refresh my memory. My experiments and notes will be beautifully organised in a mini-website. Well that’s the theory.
