New User looking for assistance
... bought FF today.. What I want to do is create a Normal map fr om an Image. However, when I try to load the image it only shows me the default filter when FF opens. How do get my image to show so I can create the normal map?
Is there a beginners tutorial shows how to get started? I've viewed some tutorials however, they all assume you know wh ere to begin.

New FF user -> any advice as to great tutorials?
Author: topazdan. I have used FF to adjust 4 images. I hope to use it mostly for portraiture. I also have come to a brick wall in the learning curve. A few comments.
1) It seems that there are lots of tutorials for developers and very few for users. Users are the customers I would think. I would like to see lots (or at least more) of tutorials showing results of using filters and how the effect was created. Preferably on Youtube.
2) I don't know ...
