The first time I was so scared I did not sleep all night. It was daunting for me, as I'm not particularly savvy with computers, and I was afraid to make mistakes, which, of course, I did. I am still awed by some of our photographers who do it so flawlessly and make it look easy. It is an illusion.
It's not easy and it takes time and effort = yet it gets better!

I look forward to your post of the finals, and will look for it in GD.
