@Foua: There are several different ways. I'll just show it to you via a video later. I'm sure a lot of people are curious about that one too.
@jti007: Cool! I've been using Photoshop for around 13 years now.

@smL: There are several ways I suppose. 1: download the trial. 2: ask google politely if you know what I mean loool. 3: have someone actually buy it for you (very expensive program) I just have my company let me use a license 
@Soo: You don't have to use a tablet, but it is much much easier on you if you do. If you keep using a mouse to draw you may one day end up with carpal tunnel syndrome, which in turn would cause you a great deal of pain just using your wrist and hand. |

I only slightly touch upon the differences in this video. I'll go more into depth in a later tutorial though. Raw image files are awesome though. They basically contain all of the information at the moment you took the picture at. Which means the FStops, Exposure time, and etc. All of that is retained in the image file |

The question is how do you retain all that when you convert it into a JPEG, or TIFF at most T_T
and Web Coloring Sucks.... XD they never retain the quality in which it is saved in.
Hence Manipulating color lighting in a photo to get a dull look when you upload it to place like facebook. |

It depends on the color profile you save it out at. After editing it in a program like lightroom, you might end up saving it with a standard color profile like srgb and not adobe's standard. That way, the quality doesn't change too much after exporting. |

Adobe standards? You don't say?... Hmmm that could be the case. |

Yea, sometimes Photoshop defaults to Adobe's 1998 color profile which isn't supported on all browsers. So to be safe, srgb is the best. I believe Safari supports most of the color profiles, but IE, Firefox and etc might not. |

Photoshop, Illustrator and Lightroom should be pretty easy to pick up and learn. The 3D applications are slightly harder. |
