The Library of Congress just put a ton of images from their archives up on Flickr. It's amazing to see the photos from the 20th century - most are gorgeous, without the aid of tools such as photoshop. Here are a few of my favs from a search for "Texas":
I am excited about Photoshop personally though. I recently tried a couple of tutorials and here are the results:
Original photograph with slight edits from software that came with camera
Here it is with some tweaking
Another tweaked version with no color & more blur
I'm very excited to learn more about Photoshop and I'll get to attend two classes on this in Feburary.
