But I'm satisfied that I can make it do more or less what I want it to, and that's enough for me. I would really like to get into the deeper mysteries of Photoshop, but it's far more important for me keeping up with the advances in translation memory and terminology management software like SDL Trados, and how to make MS Office jump through hoops - in a way, my life as a translator depends on it.
