Yes. What other Photoshop is there. Oh and I recently upgraded to CS3.

[goroos1994]

i use photofiltre

[Retroman]

My mums partner works for a skip company, and found a perfectly good computer with microsoft office, photoshop, itunes and plenty of other essential programs ^_^ so im finally happy to say I own a copy of it...

Ive constantly downloaded trial versions in the past, although my college lecturer offered to put it onto USB for me to take home, but we never got round to it.

Id advise everyone to watch video tutorials, especially if you're impatient/not willing to read vast amounts. Actually seeing someone perform the techniques and processes is a lot more beneficial than reading about it...in my opinion.

Youtube may have some, or any similar websites.

[Grazoink]

i have a huge list of photshop tutorial sitesbut i am not sure if i am aloud to post them here

[Hugo]

I need help. Whenever I paste an image it comes out black and white does anyone know why or how to change it?

[Hugo]

also it won't let me have coloured brushed ect.

[Hugo]

:blush: Resolved. I was in grayscale mode.

[MarkWaldorf]

^I was going to say that. :laugh:

[Hugo]

I'm making a video avatar so there are like 90 frames / layers. How do I add text or a border to all of the layers at once ?

[Hugo]

Please help LOL

[Conor]

Instead of importing it, open it instead then to edit go into

Layer>>Layer style (And whatever from there)

Layer>>New adjustment layer (And whatever from there)

&&

Filter>> (And whatever effects from there)

Oh and remember to go into :

Window>>Animation and switch from the storyboard mode to timeline.

You'll find you should be able to recolour, crop, edit and do almost anything you can already do to normal images.

Yes. Thanks Conor! :spin:

[Hugo]

Conor, have added colour and text but where do I go from there so I can crop the video and save it as a gif ?

EDIT : Done it :laugh:

[0x-Darnell-Too-Win-x0]

can someone make me a banner

[Xander]

Well... I'm asking if there is anything I can do, I have been without Photoshop for 2 Months, which for me is a long long time partly because I can't seem to find a proper cracked version that will allow a serial and won't say "Product License Expired"
When I had a PC it was much easier as I could patch it, and then it would work, but seeing as I'm using a MAC its alot harder to get it too work, and I'm pretty fedup as I have downloaded all sorts of things and the serials really do not want to work and none of the serials/key generators seem to be compatible anyway, any suggestion what I can do?
I really can't afford $999, as I really do not have that type of money. I refuse to downloaded PSP, GIMP etc, as there basically crap for what I need it for. :)
It would be appreciated much as I NEED it for college, although its installed on there Macs, I still need it for when I'm at home + enjoyment.

[Chemicle]

I downloaded a working one and i've kept the torrent since, because i hate formatting and having to find a working one again :rolleyes: i'll have a look for the one i downloaded and u2u you the link :bigsmile:

[Hugo]

I downloaded a Crack for CS3 Extended from a tutorial on youtube. you have to have the free trial first though, and thats on Windows.

Thank you!
Will give it a try and let you know what happens! :)

[SiaSiaSia]

I have the same problem.
urgh
and it's like
"e-license required"
I HATE HAVING TO GO ONTO MY WINDOWS COMP :/
whenever i remove it off the system + redownload it it's like "you already have photoshop on your system" and it's cos adobe products on mac STUPIDLY don't uninstall by taking them to the trash can.. but... urgh.. even worse, you have to use an uninstall thing [which i DIDN'T do]
isn't cs4 out now? might try that instead

I know, i'm gonna try CS4, might download tonight, hope a cracks out for it soon.

[Xander]

^ Good idea, I'm going to download the trial just so I actually have photoshp on here.

[Chemicle]

I'll let you know when a crack is available for CS4 :spin2:

[Xander]

^ Thanks, although you can't try it out yet?

[Edit: Yeah you can on the uk site. :)]

[Hugo]

Xander even on the UK one it just sends a reminder.
Could you send me the link s'il vous plait?

[Xander]

Update;;

Right, My mum downloaded a cracked CS4 version and it worked!
So yay I have CS4 now!

Thanks Chemicle for that torrent link, it was taking ages to downloaded but thanks anyway. :hug
