    Photoshop Layers Not Working Properly!

    I have a weird situation. A Windows 10 Update fiasco somehow wiped Windows from my laptop. After many hours on tech chat, I finally got windows installed again, which means I lost ALL my files on my C drive, including several PSD's I was working on. Re-downloaded Photoshop today, but the layers...

    Hummingbird Migration

    I'm guessing the hummingbird migration has begun, because I had 7 birds at one time fighting over my feeder yesterday! I just wanted to show these pictures, which by the way, are SOOC. I use a Canon Powershot SX400IS. I love these little birds! These were taken on Low Light setting, since that's...

    Just Want to Say Thank You!

    In the past several days, maybe a week, I've learned so much about Photoshop, much more than I expected I would! I know how to download and install fonts, I've installed and used Pixel Squid which is freaking awesome! I can also make my own backgrounds (did a camo earlier), and I've learned how...

    What Input Devices Do You Use?

    My laptop is, unfortunately, not a touch screen, though I imagine it would make doing some things in PS a little easier. I'm currently using a roller ball mouse rather than the built in. What do you use and how do you like it?

    My First Work with Photoshop CC

    Okay, so this is my first book cover built from the ground up in Photoshop CC (I always used Paint Dot Net or free PS CS2 before). It's just a work in progress; I wanted to play around with settings and features and familiarize myself with all the options available in CC. Be gentle with me, I'm...

    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...

    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 really new here, and to PS too (about 2-3 months' experience). But the other day I purchased an e-book reader mockup (at a good price, too), and was at a bit of a loss. It uses smart objects, so of course I had to google that. But once I did, I was surprised at how incredibly easy it...

    Hello, New Here & to PS!

    Hello everyone! My name is Markie, and I'm an author and publisher. This means I'm also a cover designer! I learned how to build book covers by layering with the use of a free software called Paint Dot Net. When I got really good at it and realized it didn't quite have everything I needed, I...
