    Web page design help

    I am playing around with a new (to me at least) PS plug-in called SiteGrinder. It's a web site building prgm. that helps novices like me design and build web pages via a PS plug-in. I wanted to create the pinstripe look in the background of Adobe Lightroom. How do I get that look? As always...

    Gradient shadows???

    I evidently do not do enough of theses to retain the information. Either that or my age is starting to show - your choice. :D Anyway, when I do a shadow I put my subject (selection) on a new layer. I then use Command Delete to turn it black. Transform>Distort to lay it down and place it where I...

    Bridge opening problems

    Bridge has always opened to my main photography folder. Lately it has been opening to a sub-folder I rarely use. I have no clue why it started doing this but does anyone know how to make it open to the folder last used or my main photo folder again? Thanks

    This is embarrassing but my curves dialogue window went from tenths back to quarters (dividers inside window) and i forgot how to get it back. I can't believe I forgot something so elementary. ;\ Thanks guys Lee

    Monitor and Printer calibration???

    I have had three computers using Photoshop (both PC and Mac) using both Epson and HP printers. The color calibration was not perfect on any of those setups but close enough were only minor tweaks were needed between the monitor and printer output. My new Mac G5 and Epson R1800 however is WAY...

    Better way to resize and sharpen???

    Someone told me that when you resize you should select Bicubic Shaprer (instead of regular Bicubic) when going down in size and Bicubic Smoother when increasing the size of an image. I tried it but did not notice a big change but that doesn't mean it doesn't do a better job. I also did not...

    Lost images???

    Until I installed Aperture everything worked fine. I would alter an image, use Save As, specify the folder where it was to be saved and then select the type of image (jpeg, png etc). The image was always in the folder I specified. Now when I do the same thing I can't find the image. I use the...

    Icons - Creating a tranparent background??????

    Okay, I have worked on this for longer than I care to admit and it's making me more than just a little crazy (more than normal, that is). It seems so easy to solve and I can't. Here's the deal. I have a bunch of icons made for PC's that I'd like to use on the Mac. When I download the icons and...

    Batch renaming question.

    I just did a batch rename in CS2 on my Mac from 001 to 300. Everything worked fine except for one thing. Right in the middle of the 300 images PS added the following - 140 (1) to 179 (1). Does anyone know why parentheses were added to that group of images? Thanks in advance for the help. Lee

    Batch convert to another format?????

    I know you can batch rename in CS2 but what if you just want to change from jpg to tif? I tried it on some test images and thank goodness I did a test first at it didn't work and I couldn't get the images back. Now, considering my considerable knowledge of Photoshop (or lack of.? .? . [shhh]) I...

    Plug in folder in CS2

    I finally got everything set up in the new Mac and am ready to start adding stuff to specific programs. What I don't want to do in CS2 is put every plug-in and action I have into the PS folders. It just makes the program take WAAAAY too long to open. Isn't there a way, like with fonts, that you...

    Another new to Mac/Photoshop question

    Where the heck is PS storing my images when I hit "save." This morning was the first time I have had a moment to check out CS2. Saved a test image and couldn't find it. LOL A little embarrassing so be sure. ;\

    Photoshop CS2 question

    I finally got my new Mac and have been installing software and getting it set up for two days now. I installed CS2 and opened it to just look around a little. Then it hit me, this program opened without a backdrop. I just have my work pallets and tool bars over the desktop. Is this how it's...

    Genuine Fractals question

    I'm just getting some plug-ins for my new Mac system and Genuine Fractals came up. Does anyone have any experience with this? It sounds great assuming it actually does what the marketing hype claims. Your feedback is always greatly appreciated. :)

    Favorites folder

    Hmm, I thought it would be easy.......then I remembered, it's never easy for me when it comes to computers. [confused] As I mentioned a few days ago, I'm switching to a Mac in the next few weeks. Planning for the "big" change I wanted to see how easy it was going to be to move my Favorites...

    Mac procedure question

    I was playing around with PS in the Apple store over the weekend and noticed one of the differences in Photoshop on a Mac and PC. On a PC you right click on a tool in the tool palette to get the other choices. You can't do that with a Mac one button mouse. How do you get the other tool choices...

    Changing the color of something question

    I was hired to do some pretty basic photoshop stuff for a local retailer. Kinda boring but it helps pay the bills. When she showed me what she wanted done I was thinking to myself, "pretty basic". Then came the reality.............. [confused] There are a million ways to select something. I...

    Cursor doing something strange - Help

    I've been playing around with PS for over 18 months and I've never had this happen. My cursor changed to cross hairs and will not change back. Even when I pick a brush that should be round like the Clone Stamp Tool, Eraser, Healing brush etc. I thought maybe my Preferences got corrupted and...
