I created a postcard for my business using PS6. I edited an old card that I had from what I think was a jpg or pdf. I now have photoshop cs2, and I need to edit the text on the card only, not the background. I have it saved as a jpg, and a pdf, however once I open it in CS2, what do I do to be able to delete the old text and begin typing new?
I'm using PS CS2 and windows Xp.
I created a new file, set my sizes and all that, 8bit and began...I literally am using the line tool to make a straight line vertically, I then want to use my brush at 2pixels and 100 hardness to "stroke path", I set my brush then select path selection tool and right click on the line, but "stroke path" is grayed out? I really don't understand. I am following these directions from a website on how to create postcard back.
this is what i was following:
Create a new document with the same exact specifications used earlier for the front. Grab the Line tool and draw a straight vertical line shorter than the postcard’s height, and then place it slightly off center. Set your brush to a size of one or two pixels with a hardness of 100 percent. With the Path Selection tool, right click on the line and choose “Stroke Path.”

I have designed a postcard which MUST be exactly 100mm x 150mm. This is being professionally printed mail-order in a batch of 60, so I don't get any tryouts - it has to be correct when I send it.The postcard consists of one image and some text. I want it to be crisp, clear and hi-res.At first I tried to do it in Photoshop 7, but I cannot work out how to get the text next to or around the image.
Then I made a beautiful postcard in Indesign CS2, setting the setup page to 100 x 150. This took 2 hours and it is perfect, HOWEVER, when I export it as a JPG or TIFF it comes out really tiny on the screen and I fear that if I send it to the printer like that it will get stretched to 100 x 150 and consequently get distorted and blurred.I tried exporting it as a PDF then converting that PDF to a JPG but the colours went all blotchy.
So I am back trying to do it in Photoshop 7 but I cannot work out how to make the image exactly 150 x 100 and also get text around it.
This problem will probably be very simple for a lot of you. Unfortunately, I'm not as adept at Photoshop as I should, or would like to be.
I want to design a postcard for my business, using several photos in a scattered arrangement on the card, with my business name on.
I'm using Elements 5 and have played around with the "create a greeting card" function. It comes close to what I want to do, but it does seem rather basic. As Photoshop always seems have more than one way of doing something, I was wondering if there is more effective way of going about it, buried in Elements somewhere. Or perhaps there is another, (preferably cheap) program that is better at this. One thing I would like to do is to change the background colour on the card and not have to rely on the background templates offered in the special effects palette. Ultimately, I will be getting them professionally printed, so I will need to supply the printer with the art work in the appropriate form.
I am a photographer and I am trying to straighten a postcard photo of the Washington Memorial.

I downloaded a trial version of Ps CS6 to use at work when I started to work on an image right. Well, to my surprise I couldn't unlock the only layer in the file. Double-clicking on it produced no results, and Ps wouldn't even let me rasterize the layer. Thought I might have had to do that. So I'm investigating the menu options to get a new layer and everything is greyed out.

Here is my problem. I take a lot of pictures of coins. Sometimes I have to tilt the coin slightly to get a good rendition of the color. So at time the image is slightly oval.
I can not figure out how to use a tool to outline the coin, cut it (or copy) and paste to another project. The part that I can't figure out is adjusting the circle marquee tool to the perimeter of the coin.
I just got adobe CS today, would be able to quickly edit Raw files, one after another (similar to how thumbs plus edits jpegs). So far, as far as i can figure it out, you have to open each raw file, correct it (or apply a pre-saved correction), save it as a jpeg, and open the next. I would like to be able to do all this, preferably using hot keys to save time, without the extra steps (and extra processing time)?
basically, i'm looking for a way to breeze through about 500 Raws at a time, just doing quick brightness/contrast/saturation edits.
My friend from Japan was recently in town and my friends and I took her to the local Japanese Steakhouse. While there we all took a group picture and wouldn't you know it the fire extinguisher sticking up from the skillet blocks my Japanese friends face completely! I have done minor touch up work with PS and taken classes on it, but I want to remove the extinguisher and have no idea how to even begin something of this magnitude.

I have several hours of video aerials shot with a JVC GY-HM750U camera. The camera creates a .MOV video file. Great looking stuff but I have some lens dirt showing up in everything. I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 because I saw a tutorial demonstrating how to use smart layers and the dust and scratches filter to get rid of the problem. Still working on the best settings for the filter to best take care of the problem.
But when I exported a test clip in an H.264 or QuickTime format, both rendered files only played part way through then the image froze but the progress bar in the player kept moving. The image changed abruptly to somewhere down the clip and then ended. I also edit all other video in FCP6. When I import the .MOV file into FCP it behaves the same.
Computer hardware newbie here: I do a significant amount of photo editing work and for a very long time I've experienced Photoshop, Bridge and Photomatix crashing constantly (usually due to insufficient RAM) or just generally taking forever (Bridge took forever to load the thumbnail/preview extractions in a folder full of images, Photoshop took forever to save images and Photomatix took ages to load/merge a set of bracketed photos). Here are the typical error messages I'd get: [URL] ........
As a professional photographer, constantly running into that sort of thing is quite aggravating, so to hopefully avoid ever having to deal with that again I invested in a new custom built computer. It's Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with 32GB of RAM and a 240GB SSD; I'm using the 240GB SSD as my boot drive/OS, all of my programs are installed there, and the page file. My photos and data are stored on several HDDs. I have yet to install any of my photo editing software (Photoshop CS6 Extended, Lightroom, Photomatix etc) to the new computer yet.
My basic question is this: what is the best way to take advantage of the SSD (and the computer in general) when it comes to my photo editing software?
Specifically...
1. If I have a folder of photos I'm working on, should I move it to the SSD and then work on them from there in order to take advantage of the speed of the SSD? Would this make any difference in terms of speed if the photos are located on the SSD vs. an internal/external HDD?
2. Most of what I've read online seems to recommend two separate SSDs, one for installing/booting the apps and one for cache/scratch. Does it matter if I use my 240GB SSD for both?
3. This is a fairly new computer and the SSD is already almost half full (102GB used, 120GB free) *WITHOUT* any of my photo editing software installed yet. I'm concerned about how fast that remaining 120 GB may fill up. As it fills up will I lose the speed advantage of the SSD vs. a regular HDD?
4. Sort of similar to #3, but should I bother moving any of my other non-photo editing programs/caches off of the SSD to a HDD and would there be any major difference in the speed/lifespan of the SSD if I did so? It's mostly Firefox and Chrome and their caches that I'm concerned may be a problem if they remain on the SSD.

I am trying to become proficient with PS CC 3D tools and am running into a seeming anomaly. After working a few minutes with the 3D file, the image switches to what looks like a mask layer. I don't THINK I'm invoking it by accident, but I am unable to recover from it. Here a screen image.My goal is to create a workflow to build isometric 3D maps with the flexibiliy of a layered PS file.My current workflow is as follows: Import .OBJ file from SketchupAdjust 3D settings in PS CC and convert to Smart Object (so I can scale the individual layers more easily). I did find if I go to "Channels" and temporarily click on any of the R, B or G channels, then back on the RGB composite channel, my image return.

In fireworks, I am easily able to manipulate and edit vector shapes with many different methods.
One of these methods is to have two different vectors, one on top of the other so I can apply a 'union' to them for example, as well as, a 'punch', a 'cut out' and some other ones too.
I fail to see this function in photoshop, but I really do need this..
