When I try to open a PNG file, Photoshop locks up, and I have to use task manager to kill it, then open it up again. Are PNGs not supported by this version of Photoshop?
Sorry, not PS 5.5
Try the shareware utility called "Graphic Converter"
google it and download. It works on pre-osX macs!
When I use photoshop and I'm trying to erase something sometimes you can se the circumference/border/limits/circle of the cursor so that you know how big it is and some times you can't see it. Why is this? how can I fix it so that it always shows?
Also, somethimes the program frezees... It works and everything you can work on the document but you can bring down the file menu or help or object or anything, why could this be happening?
I think you have the Caps lock on, turn it off and you will see it.
Does it just show crosshairs? I remember i had a similar problem with an older computer... it was just a bug when I was running out of memory space. Try shutting down all other running programs, even in the taskbar. Editting large multi-layered graphics takes up a good deal of resources.
I just downloaded some textures (ones used fir overlays) for Photoshop, and they are now in my WinRAR waiting to be unzipped. The problem is I don't know where to unzip them to and how I access them in Photoshop. Can someone help please!
Textures and patterns for Photoshop are presets. They go in the following Windows location:
C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Presets/Textures.
To retrieve the new textures once you've unzipped them and placed them in the above listed location, just click Load Texture (Pattern) in the popout for whatever tool or filter you're using. For example, for the Brush Tool, go to Windows/Brushes/Texture. Then click the arrow on the right side of the pattern picker box to open the patterns. Then click the arrow on the right to open those options. Finally click Load Patterns to get your new textures.
I want to know if there are any sites besides google's picasa that are free photoshop/like things that are better or equal to photoshop and if so what's the site?
Go look at File Hippo there should be some there
Gimp is equal to or better than Photoshop. And I do belive it's free.
oh you also need to be running Linux.
GIMP is supposed to be close to photoshop, but I never understood GIMP.... then again, I never understoof photoshop either. lol
But yeah, gimp is completely free and is supposedly feature filled.. so check it out, if you want.

On adobe photoshop 7.0.
Im new to photoshop.. and I really want to learn how to use it..
And also, how can I make something flash.. like two different colors?
Thanks for any help in return :)
You are rather ambitious to want to create something like your link and you are new to Photoshop. My suggestion would be to start with about one year of intensive instructions. You will then have learned about layers, text, text styles, selections and image styles. Images created by Photoshop, other than animated images, don't flash different colors.

fro the background used the gradient tool and make the shapes use the shape tool
I am familiar with photoshop and use it to adjust color balance, levels, curves, etc. But I want to take things up one more level and be able to eliminate a scar for example and do whatever is considered standard "retouching" when shooting human models.
The two questions on that are
1. What is considered "standard" in terms of retouching. I am not trying to turn my pictures into an illustration (as in I want to keep the image integrity).
2. What resource (online school/class/etc) would you recommend for improving my photoshop skills especially in terms of retouching. There are only about 10,000 books on this.
Thank you in advance for input.
I was a hobbyist until I found www.worth1000.com This is a site where photochoppers come to compete for fun. There are also tutorials on how to do some of the effects. After engaging in some of these I can create some incredible photos.
As for touchups, this is a great place to learn about touching up. There are a lot of tutorials on the internet, try googling for Photoshop Tutorials.
I find there are many ways to do the same thing. The question isn't how to do it, but How to do it in the most efficient fashion.
For instance there are about 100 ways to optimize the dynamic range of a picture. Some of those ways while correct will take up vast amounts of time.
To cut through the Hype I found the Photoshop Bible to be one of the most helpful tools I have come across.
1. it depends on the person. if they want their pics to look flawless then retouch if not then don't.
2. online tutorials always help. i go to
www.arraich.com/elements/pse_hhow1.htm
there are great step by step processes here, their easy to understand and they actually work! hope it helps!
