Editing Fun #1

Thanks Newt, but what do I download, there's a lot of links around

There is also Photoshop Elements. This is a 'lite' version of Photoshop that has most of the tools that you need on a day to day basis. I think the latest version is v4. should only cost 45-50 nicker, there is also Paint shop Pro X. Normally £99.99 but Amazon are selling it for £44.97.

 

Like Newt says though The Gimp is free

 

Click on this link. You need to download the gimp and the relevant gtk libtary for your version of Windows.

You need to install gtk libs before you install Gimp.

Steve

 

Can I use a third party filter, or must I stick to using built in tools?

 

Cory

 

Sure why not, its a fun thing so the less rules the better.

I have been sat here three hours !!!! with the tutorial disc and my book Photoshop for Dummies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am ashamed to say Photoshop and I do not get on!!!!

 

no wine only caffeine and I have not been able to produce anything.

 

So please Steve give my place to next in line,perhaps I will give it another go when less stressed...too much going on in my head I think.

Sorry

Judith

Okay Judy, I understand as Photoshop can be quite daunting at the start. We move onto Finepix then, Julia...your go..

No apologies needed, Judy! Even after having had a class in PhotoShop, what MrWiggly did may as well have been written in Greek. I would have been able to add the sheep but all the layer stuff is way beyond me. I'm sure Steve will have another go in the near future. Your (our?) turn will come.

 

Can I be a pain in the arse and swap with Hellbelly?? I'm away all day (and probably most of the early hours) Saturday and it's my Birthday Friday (don't be embarrassed to forward any cards and gifts ) so I'll probably be away from the pc then aswell ................ ta

 

Julia, my birthday is Saturday but bet I'm a whole lot older than you... Have a happy!!!

So that means it is HBs turn now then???!!! He'll be nervous, he thought he had a day or two to think about what to do.

 

 

 

I've just had a go and am happy with what I have done so I was wondering seeing as how Nurse Judy wants to opt out and Julia wants to swap with HB, could I please take Judys turn, and then HB, and then Julia. HB will want to do his own thing so I don't want to step on his toes. Will post the pic, but if this is not okay, I will remove it so HB and/or Judy can have their turn. Thankyou.

 

 

I'm rather proud of that, my very first effort at photoshop.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA AND JAN

Don't give up Judy. If my 12 year old son can pick it up from a book written in a language that on the whole he can't read (the book is in English, William speaks English but can only read and write in French) then so can you.

 

That goes for you too JanV

Judy,

 

Do a google search for Photoshop tuturials, i picked up a lot of what i can do (still very limited) from going through these.

Sorry to hear that Judy, I'm no expert, but if there was something you had in mind but just couldn't get your head round the manual (and we've all been there) give me a shout and I'll try my hardest to help.

 

Steve It's all getting a tad confusing here so I'll wait for your instructions as to who is next ...
