Learning the New CS6

Tuesday, July 03, 2012
So have you upgraded?!?!  I am in LOVE with the new CS6!  Well.... after I figured some things out that is. lol  The new crop tool is the one that really threw me for a loop.   It will be great for all the newbie CS users, but will take some getting used to for us old dogs! But this old dog WILL learn to do new tricks!  LOL  

So in my travels and talking to other new CS6 users (Thanks Marcie and Renee!), here are some links I found very useful! 
If you have some more, feel free to comment here and link us up!
