    Can't even get a graphic to print centered on paper

    Because you're doing something wrong. :) Seriously though, without all the details of how you're setting up the print and what the print is, it's nearly impossible to say for sure. My first guess would be that your margins are uneven (the default for most printers is to give a larger bottom...

    Selecting Hair...

    What I did was duplicate the layer, used a combination of hand painting with the brush and using curves to adjust it until I had the girl all white and the background black using the same methods as you would with alpha channel selections, then did a select all, copy, created a layer mask for...

    Hi there and maybe some help?

    Here is the tutorial for the Scanner Darkly effect from the actual artist that did it on the film. http://www.illustratortechniques.com/imitating-a-scanner-darkly.html

    Odd problem

    What format is the photo in? Bit depth, color mode, etc.

    obtaining only the outside lines of objects

    I think what the OP is talking about is taking a photograph and turning it into line-art.... which is much harder and there isn't a really good solution for. There are filters like "find edges" but they are more "artistic" than accurate. The best thing to do in that case would be to actually use...

    Wrapping text around an object

    Heh. Glad you got it worked out. :)

    Wrapping text around an object

    The easiest way to do this is to make a path and use the text on path tool, this is only available in newer versions of Photoshop CS. Basically you create the path you want the text to take, then places the text on path type tool there and type away. There really isn't any other good way to do...

    Cropping in CS3

    True... I dunno... habit I guess. I'm usually either cropping visually so units and ratio doesn't matter or cropping for a specific output where it's strict... so I rarely need an arbitrary size with fixed ratio like that. Either way will work, party on darth. heh

    Cropping in CS3

    Yes, the ratio will stay true, but once you apply the crop, it will resize based on the units, and I think what they want is to have it not resize after the crop occurs. I've run into this a few times myself, often in the middle of an edit, you want to crop out an area, but you don't want to...

    Getting video on canvas

    Yes it's possible, but it will take a long time. You could do this with Photoshop by exporting all the frames of the movie, processing them (in a batch if your lucky) and exporting them back out as a video. It's also possible that the effect you want is available as a plug-in for a video...

    Cropping in CS3

    Ratio only works with marquee, not with crop. Crop requires units. Use the rectangular marquee and you can put in arbitrary ratios. Welcome to PSG.

    Color change

    You can do it, but it will be time consuming and it will require some artistic ability to paint back some details by hand. What I would probably do is just start making shapes to overlay the image, and paint in some flat colors for the areas. Then go back and with clipping groups I would add in...

    Monochrome effect? Sin City idea with red only

    Not sure what exactly you did by the explanation... but since it worked for you... yes... that's right. ;)

    Monochrome effect? Sin City idea with red only

    Duplicate the picture on a new layer. Make it grayscale using your favorite grayscale technique. Apply a layer mask to the layer and mask out the dress. Voila. :) Welcome to PSG.

    Realistic cut outs

    First off, welcome to PSG. Yes, that topic is very frequently covered. Which is good for you since there are countless answers to the questions and tutorials on the subject. There is no one right answer. As you said the pen tool is great for smooth lines and the channel method is better for...

    how do you do this effect?

    There was a few tutorials around for a while explaining that... but I can't remember where they were. The basic idea is that you take a large image, run filter > pixelate > mosaic on it. Set the size of the mosaic to whatever even number you like that looks good but bear in mind that you'll...

    2 Questions

    If it's already rasterized, no, if it's still a type layer, then just look at the characters palette. You can try this though: http://www.identifont.com/identify.html Yes, but it depends on the image and it takes lots of practice and experience to do it right.
