Hi there. I'm really new to cartography, but have jumped in at the deep end.

I downloaded photoshop yesterday and I have a wacom tablet coming tomorrow.

I figured it would be healthy to ask for any tips, from the people who have probably already made mistakes and thought 'God I wish I'd known that when I began'

I've had a good trawl through the tutorials and had a go at making some maps already but I figure it's best for me to learn fully once my tablet arrives.

So any photoshop presets, or tablet presets? And little gems of advice which will make me learning easier?

Thanks you Hope to be here for a long time!
