And I have looked at the tutorials on masking, layers etc but can't try them, as PS seems corrupted. Got it already installed on the computer I use for PS.
ETA forgot to mode em down to 8bit, had them at 16. Thanks  Kelli! But Adobe Bridge seems pretty critical and I can't use it. Says Error 2: photoshop is undefined. Any ideas any of you PS wizards? |
I don't use bridge. I don't understand why you need it. Critical in what way? |
Uhmm I don't really know! the PS CS2 book I have, Classroom in a Book, came with a CD which I dutifully downloaded, which specifies that you start each exercise by going to Adobe Bridge.
Which, on my comp, doesn't work. So though I suppose I have the tools to help me learn, not the key to unlock the toolshed, as it were, which is why I generally keep my PS skills to a minimum...and have been Pm'ing you all day with probably very basic PS questions! And Photoshop Help doesn't work either, and whenever I did consult it in the past, gave me loads of info in very poorly written technospeak, that I just can't process. That's why I need babysitting. |
If it helps at all....I don't use Bridge. I may open it up twice a year to see the thumbnail of a PS file that I want to open....but that is it.

I used to use Bridge for viewing RAW files, but I discovered that IrfanView can view them much more easily if you install the RAW plugin.

ETA: Oh yeah, my point was that I don't use Bridge at all any more.

I only use DPP for viewing raw images.....and I only use PS for editing.

| So Susan, as you can see you can pretty much just skip over the Bridge part. LOL! |

Oh you're not the only one whose entry will look like a Terry Gilliam creation! I am pretty sure I won't even come close to ribboning, but I don't care. I need an excuse to learn PS, and am now actually having some fun, so it's all good :-) |

Awesome! If you're having fun, it's all worthwhile. Heck, if winning a ribbon were the only point, I'd have thrown in the towel long ago! |

Frankly I am still amazed that I ribboned, even moreso with a pic that I shot when I had no interest at all in the challenge. I was just keeping the bf company on a cold morning while he tried to get a very difficult shot. And I had the D90 and Siggy on, both new to me. I thought it a neat shot and entred it. And will probably never ribbon again on this site, but I'm OK with that...:-) |

1am here but I've just submitted my entry. My first expert edit. The image feels like an achievement for me but I doubt it will live with the competition.
Really looking forward to seeing the other entries.
Good luck all. |

| Ugh, my eyes hurt. I've been sitting in front of the computer for the last two days trying to recreate what I saw in my head. 36 images went into it and a lot of things changed as the process took place, but I have an entry! Can't wait to see all the submissions. |

Just promise me you will give me ur shoulder even if you ROCK and I fail miserably! -- I was planning on doing something else... but landing in the ER 2xs in 2 days has kind of stopped that idea... so I went with my first shot... its not top notch
