Newbie Q

[ness]

I browsed a few pages and didn't see the answer I was looking for. Basically I have two layers, I want to turn view of top layer off, make a selection on the second layer, but edit the selection as the top layer, if that makes any sense.

 

[Steve]

Turn off the top layer, make you selection on the second layer, turn on the top layer and select it.

I didn't think it was that simple, thank you.

Going to just bump this, as I saw no reason to make a new thread. How do I add fonts to my CS5? I have the font downloaded, but I don't know where to put the file.

If it's Windows, add the font to the system font folder. Reopen PS and it will be available.

 

[ness]

The control panel fonts?

 

[hawkeye]

That's the one. If it's Windows 7 just right click the file and select install.

 

[ness]

I'm on Vista, so I assume just drag into the folder. Thank you.

Hi ness, actually you're better off starting a new thread for a new question.

 

[ness]

Why is that? Seems like it would make sense since the thread was only a couple hours old and the title wasn't very specific.

 

[ibis]

others may have use of already answered questions, and it is good thing to have the matching title. most of the people first browse for the answer than ask.

 

[ness]

I see. Well I didn't know what to title it for my first question, or I would have. But I'll keep that in mind from now on, sorry.

Back to the question, I might have seen it even here on the forum it is not a good idea to put fonts for Photoshop into Win folders, since it slows down some Win applications, I think it is better to put it into Photoshop directory structures.

 

[peta62]

I found the directory, so in case you decide to use fonts for Photoshop put them into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\fonts

I actually don't have that file location, in either Program Files or Program Files (x86).

 

[peta62]

I have it in Program Files, but where I found it was written you should create it if you do not have the directory.

I don't have it in either of my Program File directories, but adding it to Program Files (x86) worked. Thank you.

When I add fonts, I open the font file, and there's an (administrator) INSTALL button. I just click it, and it installs automatically.

 

[peta62]

Yes, but it goes to windows installation, not to the Photoshop directory, correct ?

 

[agentmoeller]

Mine go straight into Photoshop, I think. Brushes I need to put in the folder - fonts go automatically.
