    inport a jpeg as a layer

    Bozha.. When you opened the second, guitar image, your first doc did not dissapear, it was still there. Just click the "Restore down" button on the newly opened doc and you should see both docs, which will enable you to drag the guitar layer onto the original doc as Sheba described. The...

    Mac procedure question

    Maybe I've misread, or am missing something (very likely [confused] ), but there's a little triangle in the corner of each tool button, when you click on that the flyout for the other tools appears. Edit...Actually I'm wrong, that's CorelDraw. PS is even easier, just keep the button pressed...

    Another photoshop challenge...

    The fish will always take on some of the colour from its surroundings. Blue water will give a slightly bluer tint, this is natural. Here's my attempt at a Mediteranean look (7 seconds). Add Hue/Sat Adjustment layer. Check "Colorize" Hue 200 Sat 35 Lightness +15 Set Hue/Sat...

    How is this done?

    I've had an interest in photography for over twenty years and all I see are photographs. The seascapes water has an etheral look due to the 1 sec exposure causing blurring due to movement. The pink middle area of the sky looks slightly unnatural due to downsampling, likewise with the yellow...

    CS2-favorite feature

    I'm still using PS7, but would be interested to know if CS2 has the ability to import a folder of files (images) as layers. This is something Adobe should have added long ago. IR can import a folder of files as frames, so why not PS as layers. Once in IR you can revert to PS and the frames...

    Draw and color like MARVEL

    The best way to dodge and burn is to add a layer above your image. Fill with 50% grey (do this via Edit/Fill where there is an option in the drop down box). Now if you paint on this layer with black or white paint you will increase or decrease the contrast. Shades of greys have a subtler...

    Need help in finding a lost technique

    If you add a new layer and fill with a Black to White gradient. When you set it to Overlay mode, it will effect the contrast of the image below, according to whever the image below is under the white or black part of the gradient. Opacity and the way the gradient is applied both effect the...

    Run PS from a CD without installing

    It has to install in the registry, so I'm not sure how you could achieve this via a CD. I doubt it's possible. Having said that, I know there was a version of linux that could be run from a CD. Some apps don't need to install files in the registry, I have a couple of small apps that I run...

    Illustrator buddha illustration

    Yes, it's common for illustrators to use a tablet, particularly for more artistic illustrations. From my own experience, I recommend you buy a decent unit. You don't need a large pad, even 5" X 4" feels bigger when you're working looking at the screen. Wacom 5" x 4" pads are reasonably...

    Corel Knockout

    Thanks Lee. There's very little difference in price, so v2 seems the best option. Just wondered about the plug-in issue, which thinking about it, can't be that big a deal. Thanks again. Sark

    Corel Knockout

    Welles, thanks. If the diiference is significant, as you say, I may as well go ahead and buy version 2. I guess if you have extractions to perform, these can always be performed first in PS, before closing and reopening PS to carry out editing. I think it was Foster Coburn on a...

    Corel Knockout

    Hi all. I'm thinking of purchasing Corel Knockout. I know there are a few users who post on these boards so hopefullyI can get some advice. I've heard that version 2 can only be installed as a plug-in, whereas version 1 was stand alone. I've read that the advantage of the stand alone...

    WYSIWYG with Color Profiles

    Welles, Hi. Welles said diarrhea said Welles, while diarrhea mentioned screenshots etc, his initial question suggested this was as an attempt to resolve other issues. I had assumed he was maybe scruggling to get his Save for Web images (jpegs) to look the same as his open PS...

    WYSIWYG with Color Profiles

    Hmm, like Welles I'm a little confused by where you're starting and where you want to go. All I can add is that if you're set up for a Printer profile, which is how I work, as print is generally may final destination, then use the Image/Mode/Convert to profile dialogue and choose sRGB...

    Graphics Tablet issues

    Stu, thanks for posting again. If you read my original post you'll see I mention it is a budget unit. By budget I mean it cost me ?30 (UK). About $55. You can now buy them from the same store for just ?25. Although the pad got great reviews, these were naturally, partly based on their price...

    Graffiti Tutorial?

    Don't know about the example posted, but as far as colouring goes, you can throw a stack of colour onto a layer, either with a soft brush or just a bunch of coloured shapes. Next, type your text and place it below the coloured layer and group. This method works best for the airbrushed...

    Graphics Tablet issues

    Mark Now that I?ve checked the specs I realise I made a mistake regarding the sensitivity settings. The actual figures are: Resolution = 3048 lpi....Sensitivity = 512 steps. I suspect these figures are no worse than the Wacoms, so maybe I?m just expecting too much from a tablet. I had...

    Graphics Tablet issues

    Mark, thanks for posting. Unfortunately this unit doesn't have any sensitivity settings other than how hard I need to tap the pen down to simulate a click. There is a pressure sensitivity test area, but this is just for pressure sensitive brush strokes, and even this doesn't do a great deal...

    Graphics Tablet issues

    I?ve been using a budget Graphics Tablet for a while now. Whilst this is fine for general brushwork I don?t get on with it enough to use as an alternative to a mouse. I find that every time I click the button, the pointer moves. Icons move when I open an app, and objects or layers move when I...
