I have taken Graphic Design classes, have an older iMac and two software design suites. They are getting out of date. I have recently purchased a new PC and am considering purchasing the following items after reading reviews and comparing products. I am listing these for you to look over and consider to purchase for yourself or for a Christmas Gift.
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE GETTING INTO PHOTO EDITING! Scrapbooks greatly benefit from edited photos - when a person develops some skills. This is why I have listed several DVDs and books to aid in learning the Software mentioned below. Many young women are diving into offering "professional photo sessions". If you know one, gift them with some of these products so that they can increase their income by learning how to develop photo editing skills.
I adore Photoshop and use it for photo enhancement, making buttons, banners, flyers, newspaper ads, and enhancing/editing photos for the Flash presentations that I develop for a website designer. Take a look at these items that I feel will be good products to purchase, learn from and develop quality work - from personal photo editing to creating products to give as gifts or sell.

Product Description (Partial from site)
This book (for Windows and Mac) breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers that's never been done before—it cuts through the bull and shows exactly "how to do it." It's not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge readers to come up with their own settings or figure things out on your own. Instead, it tells readers flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why.
