    Going from Free Photoshop to...?

    So far, I have to say I'm highly satisfied with my decision to move to Photoshop CC instead of keeping the free PS CS2 I was using! I started rebuilding a book cover (rather than using the same file from my PS CS2) just to practice and play around with different features. One thing I noticed...

    A Question about Freebies and Plugins

    John, that is awesome! Once I got my (slow) high-speed internet to download it, I loaded it with no problem!

    A Question about Freebies and Plugins

    Thanks Fred, I will check those out! I've seen the styles but haven't played around much with them yet.

    A Question about Freebies and Plugins

    Okay, I'm about to post a link, and I hope it's okay. If not, I'll edit it. I'm looking at this: http://www.photoshoplayerstyle.com/horror-photoshop-styles/ because my youngest daughter is an author of zombie fiction (she's a teenager, what ELSE would she write about? ;) ) and I'm looking to...

    A Question about Freebies and Plugins

    Hey Thanks Fred, I'll check those out! I actually am signed up with Creative Market, as I've gotten a few stock photos from them in the past. But it's good to know where to go so I don't accidentally go somewhere I shouldn't!

    Going from Free Photoshop to...?

    Thanks for that info! I'm at 12 gb RAM, Mac for my laptop I'm afraid. But I ran several images yesterday, of the type I'll be using it for, and didn't have any trouble. But I'll keep that in mind and make sure I don't have any other programs open at the same time.

    A Question about Freebies and Plugins

    Thanks! I'm on my phone at the moment, but I bookmarked one site to check out later. It's all about layer styles, which I'm not really sure what those are. But I'm working through some photoshop tutorials so I'm sure I'll eventually figure it out.

    A Question about Freebies and Plugins

    So here's another newbie question that might maybe be on the minds of some others new to PS. I have located numerous different free mockups and seen a few free Plugins for PS. This thought never really occurred to me before I was a published author; I just assumed if it was marked free that...

    Odd Issue with Smart Objects

    Thanks everyone for trying to help. I didn't think the error message mattered, because I got the same message even on the files that did work. However, you all have convinced me, and I went ahead and did the Photoshop/Lightroom CC subscription, and maybe now I won't have to worry. Nonetheless...

    Sooooooo I just bought it! It's currently downloading Lightroom right now, so we'll see how long it takes with my not-so-high speed internet! Yahoooooo!

    Going from Free Photoshop to...?

    So if I click on the link you provided above (seeing as I don't currently have any paid PS programs), will the $9.99 monthly subscription get me PS as well as the LR?

    Odd Issue with Smart Objects

    I'm going to assume this is because of running CS2. I know a few of the mockups I found can't even be opened in it, just another reason I can use to justify getting PS CC!:thumbsup:

    Odd Issue with Smart Objects

    I do get several pop up windows when I first open the file: "Unknown Data has been encountered reading layer "Book Cover copy 3" and will be discarded. Continue?" Then I have three buttons: Okay, Cancel, and Read Composite Data. When I click Read Composite Data it tells me "Could not complete...

    Going from Free Photoshop to...?

    Thanks Sam, I think that was the one I was looking at as far as subscription ones go. What is Lightroom? I've heard of it, I think in regards to photography, but I'm not sure I'll ever use it. I do like to take lots of pictures with my camera, but they're mostly just for us, I have no intention...

    Odd Issue with Smart Objects

    I see what you mean, some of the so-called Smart Objects don't pop up as a psb. However, on one of them that does show up as a psb, I'm still having the same issue. I edit the smart object, remove the original image, save it, and the area in the mockup goes to a dark color. I feel like this is...

    Odd Issue with Smart Objects

    I double-clicked in the section that said "edit this". How do I determine if that was a smart object?

    Going from Free Photoshop to...?

    I've convinced myself that I'm going to graduate from the free Photoshop CS2 that I'm currently using to a paid version of Photoshop. However, in looking at things, it seems that you can either get Photoshop CS6 for the whopping price of $699, or you can do the monthly/yearly CC subscription...

    Odd Issue with Smart Objects

    Okay, I'm not sure what else might help you help me. I've spaced out my small windows a bit more on this one. The jpg file is my original book cover file. The psd of the same cover is what I got when I double-clicked on the Smart Object, which I dragged my cover into. Then I deleted the blue and...

    Hello, New Here & to PS!

    Hi Iamsam! Happy to be here! I think I've just talked myself into purchasing the full Photoshop, though it will have to wait until the beginning of the year. I tried out the free version just to see if I'd be able to learn how to use it, and if it would be useful enough to me. Now that's I'm...

    Hello there.

    Welcome! I'm new here, also, and hoping to learn more about PS!
