Hi There!

I need your help once again in Photoshop.   How can I make the White part of the pic Transparent so I can ovelay it on a different layer?  I am trying to make a new Scene List for the Collectors Edition...

In this particular case, you can just put the layer with the Brokeback logo in Darken mode.  (Go to the top of the layers palette to the drop-down menu that says 'Normal' and click 'Darken'.)  Voila!!

Hi Patrick, put the layer with the Brokeback logo in Darken mode.  (Go to the top of the layers palette to the drop-down menu that says 'Normal' and click 'Darken'.)  Voila!!

Thanks ever so much.  Everyone who finds uses for it will benefit!

Help! German Brokie wants to create silly pictures for a Bettermost thread but, all of a sudden, can't use her text tool in photoshop anymore! 

It worked yesterday, but today I just can't write anything in photoshop. I can click on the picture, but the curser appears either diminutive or giant, and in either case no text appears. Damn it.
Can anybody help?

Pipedream, it sounds like a font problem. Go under "Window" and click "Character" if that palette isn't already showing.  When you have the text tool selected, what does the Font field in the Character palette say?  At what size is your text set?

Also, the type tool will usually create a new layer on top of all the others. But maybe it's under another layer for some reason, rendering what you type invisible for the moment. Let me know if any of this helps.

Hey Laura! 

Thanks for your reply! But nothing helps. I've tried everything with fonts and layers. But alas. I even reinstalled the whole software twice with no result. Maybe the programme just needs to rest until tomorrow? Lol. Just kidding. It sucks.
