    Buying Photoshop, which version?

    Adobe offers 30 day trials of it's software... if you are on a fast connection or have access to one, that would be a good way to compare their programs. I haven't worked with Elements 5 but I know that the main focus of Elements is to simply improve the look of photos... not make creative...

    Fake Error Message

    Yeah, Tahoma... I knew that. I'm on a roll this week. Maybe I shouldn't be answering questions when I'm in a hurry. *bangs head*

    Fake Error Message

    Gonna take a wild guess and say either Trebuchet or Lucidia Sans depending on your flavor. ;)

    how to save a file as gif!!!!!

    Yeah, I was reading quickly on the way out of the house, and only correctly read the first half of that. My bad. To actually lose the save for web feature (barring an actual corruption problem) you would be in something like multichannel as Guass mentioned. I would post the file as he...

    how to save a file as gif!!!!!

    I'm not sure why you need GIF ... it's an almost useless format other than for certain web applications... but anyway, just chose "save for web" and on the right hand side you'll have format options where you can choose GIF from the drop down. Then you should be good to go. Welcome to PSG.

    Illustrator Finding free images with redistribution rights?

    On the other hand, if you do happen to find someone standing around giving out handfuls of free money, let me know.

    black and white photo with touch of color question

    Take the photo and duplicate it on a new layer. Desaturate that layer using hue/sat or your favorite grayscaling method. Add a layer mask to it and paint out the areas that you want in color on the mask so that the color layer below shows through. Welcome to PSG.

    Quick Question about blending options for individual layers

    Uncheck "use global light" on each. Welcome to PSG. :)

    Color correcting layer groups

    Use an adjustment layer to do it.

    an attempt at veggiman

    Nicely done... the only thing I would point out is that there are some issues with light source agreement... some of the objects were rotated and their highlighting is wrong... makes it look flat. Otherwise, cool stuff. After looking at the Geiger-esque images... I'm thinking doing some natural...

    Problem with feather...

    Make sure the selection isn't feathered to begin with. Check the settings in the marquee tool also... and of course... don't use the "feather" function. ;)

    Gurus unite! Detailed thresholds?

    That pretty much looks like the threshold effect to me. One thing you could experiment with is make a duplicate layer, apply threshold... then do something like blurring it and then use blending modes to bring back some of the original so it's not so stark. To get it on the shirt like that...

    Computer crash

    Sounds like part of the back end system for Adobe got damaged. I would just remove PS and reinstall... good chance you can't restore it without simply installing again.

    Photoshop window lighter than when I save.

    First step in correcting this would be to make sure that you have color calibrated your monitor. Run Adobe Gamma or Colorsync and generate a calibrated profile. Then, make sure you are working in your documents with a standard color profile such as sRGB or AdobeRGB 1998. Try both of those...

    Cutting a tree

    That's going to be a major pain in the butt. It's possible that it can be done, but you'll have to use multiple techniques to do it, IMO. This tutorial might help you with some of it. http://www.thegoldenmean.com/technique/replace_bg.html Good luck. Welcome to PSG.

    re make

    Very cool depth to this piece. The only thing that throws me off is that the ball thing in the upper right looks like it's supposed to be a sphere, but actually looks like a flat beveled button. Other than that... nicely done.

    This is a real stupid question....

    They are add-ins for the program. They give extra functionality to Photoshop. The most obvious ones are the filters in the filters menu. Those are all plugins. You can get third party plugins that would add functions to that menu or others. Basically just think of them as little chunks of the...

    Help with blank PSD file...

    Wow... uh. I looked through the image channels... you have a stack of channels named "PNG"... and if you hide them the image disappears. I think what you have there is a proprietary Fireworks PNG (always thought that was a bad idea) or a corrupt PSD. If you only need the image. I would put the...

    Help with blank PSD file...

    Are they layers or layersets? There might be multiple layers you're dealing with. Can you post the PSD for us to download? It's really hard to say about weird behavior in a file without being able to actually poke at it. heh Welcome to PSG.

    New to photoshop, here are a few examples of my work

    I like the first and third images the best of the bunch. The rain effect is fun... nice that you added the little details like the rain hitting the letters. When dealing with black and white, using commands like grayscale or desaturate without a little user intervention does about the worst job...
