Never cease to be amazed

I was told that photo shop is industry standard not sure what that meant to be honest but I am guessing you can do a lot with it ,for me I am just going to learn turbo cad and build from there

german guy Rainsco uses photoshop I think but seeing his stuff did give me the idea to go and try and learn cad drawing and my drawing board takes up too much room in my office, its slow going to be honest Rob I am starting getting used to the interface and drawing tools for the 2d drawing after buying some training manuals and tuition cd roms and I am going on a training day in January, hopefully after that I will be up to speed on the 2 dimensional stuff then its just practising before I try the 3d stuff, funnily enough I was told that Photoshop is a much more useful program to learn so as usual I am probably wasting my time lol

gary , i was championing rainsco not just as one of the best tilers on this forum some tme ago but also the way he is portraying himself by using the projected before and after imagery.
he is miles ahead in this field of any of us and i suggested a long way back that he has a great template to advertise his expertise.
I am not sure that if i copied his presentation it would help me that much but for a man that does the whole bathroom fit he is years ahead of any competition here.
i know you gary have worked in germany and i have but not as a tiler but i think we have both seen that rainsco is taking a different angle and if applied to uk market there is certain sucess.

gary i will look this up.
i actually think we are in a great and creative space in tiling world.
the last time i saw this was in early 1980s with terracotta and slate.
what we have now is a fanatstic array of material albeit stone or porcelain and i truly believe
that the new products available require an experienced tiler to fix.
I am confident in my prediction that there will be a reversal and true artisans will be appreciated
in the future
