Really cool (pun intended ) Tiff! I especially like the first one; nice work!

Hi floody (James), No, I don't think your sRGB color setting was incapable of displaying that vibrant color, but to do so it would need the right color numbers. Normally, Photoshop will convert from one color space to another with no problem, that's what color management is all about. But, when we c...

James, I looked at your files. I think what's happening is that the file you received from the photographer has an Adobe RGB (1998) embedded profile. And, the new file that you're pasting into has a different embedded profile (that of your workspace) that can not show that bright color using the num...

Hi Steve, I think small text is harder to work with in Photoshop. But anyway, when you have the Type tool selected, you'll see a pop-up menu in the options bar marked with two small a's (anti-alias). You now have that set to "None". Try one of the other settings to see if you like any of t...

I agree with Jerry, it's probably a color management problem. My guess would be that there's a profile mismatch between the two files. If that's so, you should have gotten a warning (see attached) when you pasted into the new file. If there is indeed a profile mismatch and you didn't get that warnin...

Hi photojones573, you're very welcome; glad you have the problem solved! Hi jerry, thanks for that post. Ya know, I really like the fact that we have several people who often post helpful suggestions here. We can learn a lot from each other that way, I know I've learned from some of your post! I thi...

When you choose the Pen Tool, you'll see four choices (right side of options bar), they are: Add to path area, Subtract from path area, Intersect path areas, and Exclude overlapping path areas. You probably had "Subtract from path area" selected when you made your path; that would result i...

Hi Igor, Yeah, accidentally double clicking when using the polygonal lasso tool can really be a pain. That happens to me a lot, if I use that tool, and I don't know of any way to re-open the selection. However, there is a different way to use the tool that you may like better. Just select the regula...

Here ya go...

Hi Pat, I still don't know if the disk you have is an original (genuine) Adobe install disk or a copy someone made. Is the disk in a case, with a serial number on it? If it appears to just be a copy, I don't think you'll be able to activate it. And, since you said "The disk came with a used mon...

When you say you have a "copy" of CS 8, what do you mean? Did you purchase a retail version of Photoshop and you're trying to install from Adobe's original DVD? Or, are you trying to install from some sort of "copied" DVD?

Photoshop's preference file may have somehow become corrupted. To the best of my knowledge, Reinstalling Photoshop does not create new user preferences. If the problem is due to corrupted preferences, they are probably still corrupted. So, try re-creating the preferences yourself: Note: This will se...

You're welcome aneuryzma

From your attached image, it looks like you're probably making the selection with the Rectangular Marquee tool and then choosing "crop" from the Image menu. I often crop that same way, but you must make sure that "Feather" is set to zero, in the options bar, or you will get the e...

Very nice work iDad, I like the way you did the top part; I too thought her complexion was a little light, especially after adding the stockings That may be partly due to the lighting as well?
