    Improve readability of cheatsheet pdf files – remove shadow from behind text on page 2. The par that starts with the words ‘Did you lik this CheatSheet?…’ I would like it much more if it didn’t appear blurry because of the shadowing behind the text….

    Perhaps a nice idea for those who are so inclined but there are many of us who don’t use those so called social web sites and who still believe in the old (true) meaning of the word Friend. Are there any access options for us?

    I have been a Photoshop user for some time now, but keeping an older copy as my mainstay, upgrading took me for a spin with new features! So far this guide looks promising to cut to the chase!
