I first had the opportunity to play with Photoshop when I was working on Star Wars - Episode One. It was installed on the PC I was using for databasing the props and costumes. I then quickly discovered a forgotten folder of production stills from the film and used them to learn how to add lightsabres and laser blasts, removing unwanted crew and replacing the actors faces with my friends.
Since then I have developed a high level of skill in Photoshop, able to design film posters, flyers, dvd covers, party invitations, postcards, websites and marketing packs, as well as restoring old damaged and faded photographs.
