    Masks & Selections

    Hi all. Just a few questions on masks and selections (PS 6). 1...Can I paste a black & white image on to a layer mask to control the transparency/opacity of that layer. I know I can paint on a mask with black & white but I can't work out how to use an image as my layer mask. 2...Is it...

    PS 6 questions??

    I've now "kind of" solved this. Basically RAM "is" being purged when an image is closed but, the Task manager is not responding to this. If Task manager shows 200mb memory usage, when I close the image I can open a new image and keep building the file size without adding to the 200mb figure in...

    PS 6 questions??

    I can see where you're coming from Eric. I just assumed if the whole image had changed with bicubic upsampling then 25% of those image pixels should also be different. I suspect PS is just discarding the same pixels that it added when upsampled, hence it appears the same as the original when...

    PS 6 questions??

    thekeeper, thanks for posting. 1...I'm not at my own pc right now but I remember there is an option to purge History, Undo and All, but nothing about RAM When I upsampled the image by 400% my memory in task manager jumped to over 300mb and remained there even after closing the image...

    Photoshop on a TFT

    Just to clarify a little. At the end of 2002 I had symptoms which in the New year (2003) were diagnosed as Glandular fever. This can last 6 to 12 weeks in younger people but, in us older folk it can drag on longer. It was November, last year, before I was fully recovered. As well as the...

    Photoshop on a TFT

    Yes, as phatkat explained, TFT is a flat panel display. I guess this term is more commonly used in the UK than the USA. Didn't know there was a difference between TFT and LCD though. I was always given the impression that they were more suited to text work than imaging. Not sure why. Maybe...

    Photoshop on a TFT

    Hi all. Last year I suffered with some health problems which I am now 99% certain are related to working on my PC's CRT display. I have been informed that TFT's are less prone to many of the problems caused by CRT's. Just wondered if anyone here works with Photoshop using a TFT. I'm...

    Photoshop (MAC) advice

    Thanks Welles. That's just what I wanted to hear. The seller seemed genuine, but after a year of problem free ebay dealing, I've recently had three bad ones in the space of a month, so maybe I'm getting a little too suspicious. Thanks again. Sark

    Photoshop (MAC) advice

    Hi. My niece has an old Mac and I've just purchased a copy of Photoshop 4 for her. The disc arrived today in a JC with the serial printed on paper. It's a genuine (bundle) version disc so i've no reason to disbelieve the original envelope with the serial sticker has been lost/misplaced...

    Upgrading to PS6 (Serial problem ???)

    Hi Eric. Thanks for posting... Firstly I should emphasise the package (Cdrom + Manual) that I purchased was an "Upgrade", to enable PS4 or PS5 to be upgraded to PS6. The following is a quote from the "Read me" file on the PS6 upgrade disc. If you are upgrading from an earlier version...

    Upgrading to PS6 (Serial problem ???)

    Hi all. Have today recieved a PS 6 upgrade package, this is genuine software which I want to upgrade from version 5. The problem is that no serial number was included. I haven't tried installing yet but am I right in assuming I will need a serial for this or do I use my version 5 serial. I...

    Difference between PS 6 & 7

    Thanks for the replies. I haven't yet worked with PS, I have Elements 2 and want to get the big brother. It was really a price issue, I can probably stretch to Version 7 if, as it seems, it is worth the extra cost. 8 will have to wait for now, but at least 7 will enable me be to upgrade to...

    Difference between PS 6 & 7

    Hi all. Are the differences between Photoshop 6 & 7 that significant. My interest is image creation and manipulation rather than web output. Are there any features in 7 that are really worthy of the extra price. Any opinions appreciated. Many thanks Sark

    Photoshop 6 PNG

    For what it's worth Erik. I've now discovered it's possible, in PP version 11, to resolve the issue by using a background colour that is the same as the exported object/s. Assuming the exported object/s has only one colour this apparently works. No such restriction in Elements and no...

    Photoshop 6 PNG

    I'm currently using version 9 myself Erik. The problem would not be noticable unless you were placing the PNG's on top of similar coloured objects. Applying a gaussian blur and exporting to PNG is naturally more noticable. Version 11 has more options, including the ability to apply...

    Photoshop 6 PNG

    Erik Hi. Just to be clear, my first post was a criticism of Corels PhotoPaint. Your link leads to an Adobe Photoshop tutorial, which would resolve the PhotoPaint issue but, no such option exists in PhotoPaint. Even working with a tranparent background in PhotoPaint, white is still added to...

    Photoshop 6 PNG

    Thanks for the replies. hedsteve?. I suspect it will be a while before PS 8 affects the price of version 7 but, I will certainly keep an eye on ebay over the coming weeks. theKeeper?. Photopaint doesn't handle PNG anti-aliasing very well. If you export an anti-aliased bitmap from...
