TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I say if you got it, why the hell not learn it? Photoshop is used fairly
widespread, and obviously not just for tech writing. One profession that
immediately screams into my head is web authoring/design. Most of us seem to
be morphing into that field anyway, as web delivery continues to ooze its
way into the tech writing profession.
So yeah, go play, have fun, and learn. Might also be time to get yourself a
plot at geocities or some other free web community and practice some HTML as
well while you're at it. :)
Check out the Adobe User to User Forums on their web site for Photoshop info
(some good FAQs and tutorials up there). Check out Builder.com for some good
HTML authoring info as well.
Good luck! Play hard! Have fun!

I'm going to try to turn my unfortunate state of
unemployment into a golden opportunity to learn a new
skill. I have access to Adobe Photoshop software and
some training CDs that accompany it. As tech writers,
do you find this to be a prominent software in the
profession? Also, do you think it's a good choice in
which to invest my time?
