Experience editing images

Computer's have always been an area of interest. Working with images however, have proven to be extremely challenging. I'm finding out that you can't suppress your creativity. I come from a background that does not allow you to express ones creativity. My job has always been to fabricate someone else's vision.
Now having the freedom to create my own ideas is somewhat difficult, since I really don't know what I want the finished product to be. I have been taking a lot of pictures of my son and have tried to put him into different settings. This has worked in some cases and in many it has not.
The biggest thing I would like to work on is learning the basics of the program, having run drafting software in industry for many years, having a good understanding of the basics frees you up to dream and not constantly fight the program due to lack of knowledge.

I agree that it's hard to be creative at first, actually I still don't know that I can do it. The hardest thing is learning the basics. I always have a road block in my mind when first learning something. After I know the basics, though, it's smooth sailing from there. Hopefully we'll get better at it!!
