For some time now I have been using powerpoint, Gimp and Microsoft Photo Manager to make up brochures and graphics for church. The results have been moderate.

This week my friend challenged me to bite the bullet and start to use Photoshop. It is not dissimilar to Gimp, but is a steep learning curve.

Once I got some advice, I was away. After intially producing a document at only 72 dpi...and wondering why it was all grainy, I finally produced the document below, which we are having printed off. It has taken a while to get it, but now I have, I think I will be able to produce some much better graphics and other publications.
