I have my problems with Photoshop. I've tried several times to take some on-line classes with very minimal success. The fact is, I suck. I saw that Jessica Sprague was giving a free class with Elements (which I've had for several years and never opened) so I figured what the heck, if I fail yet again, at least I didn't pay for it! LOL!
Tonight I finally had time to check in and try to do the first class which started yesterday. I managed to download and unzip the class files with only a little trouble. Actually, I did it correctly, but I hate it when the sample they use doesn't reflect what's really going on. So I thought I did something wrong, when in fact, I did it right. I know, I'm anal (I prefer that to being Elements challenged).
Yesterday's class was on using .png files which basically create a transparency-like look which can be layered over images. The first picture is the one where I followed the instructions completely and the second was basically following the original instructions but choosing stuff of my own. The first one is okay, but I don't think you can read the words very well on the background of the pic I chose. The second one is better....I think.

Whatcha think? Pretty cool, huh?
