Photoshop for Dummies
I don't know how to use Photoshop at all, but i'm making an effort to start. I have a few relatively dumb questions on getting started out.
1. Sometimes, when I try to import a .jpg or .png, it says it's not a Photoshop document so go to hell. 2. When I save an edited version of a former .jpg or .png, it tries to save it as a TIFF or PSD and gives me guff when I try to save it as PNG or JPG. What's up with that? 3. I'm having problems separating images from backgrounds flawlessly. Using magnetic lasso isn't working as well as I hoped it would. Do I have to just do layers? Any decent tutorials for layers you guys know of? |

1. Just open it. Should work fine unless you are doing something wrong.
2. When you save anything, the default format is PSD or TIFF. Try the "save for web" option. 3. It is always difficult to cut out an image. The newest version of photoshop has an easier way to do it. Check out this video for more info. |
