wnaplay1647545503 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I have 7.0 and would like to do some basic editing. Never have used it and all the tutorials I have found show stuff that is more advanced than I care to do. Just basic stuff for beginners.

oldman09FZ6 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I've been 'photoshopping' for 15 years now,never used any kind of tutorial. 'file' 'open' a pic file and start playing. make sure you have a 'backup' copy of the pic you're gonna play with in case you accidentally delete it. photoshop files,once you start working with layers,can/should only be saved as 'PSD' files. 'edit' 'undo' will take you back to previous image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 youtube Couldnt find a decent one. Can you resize a pic without it becoming blurry? And I want to add text but after opening a text box, I can never see any words appearing in it. All I am really trying to do is those two things, enlarge and add words to an existing pic.

I can walk you through it sometime or if you need something done right away, send me the pic. pdqgp@yahoo.com I'll also pay it forward as was done for me and you'll have CS2 or CS5 if you have a multicore machine and can make best use of it.

Tractor Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 You can resize to some extent without causing pixelation, but not a lot. It will depend on how much resolution the original file had. If your starting with a 400x400 72dpi file your not going to be able to do a lot. A Canon 40D RAW file 3900x2900 or something like that, at 300 dpi in 16bit mode can be resized a good bit without any loss. Also if you have a good print of the image you want to resize you can run it through a scanner at a higher resolution than you need (say 1200dpi) and then resize it and reduce the dpi to something like 72-300 and you've retained your data and made a nice enlargement. The reason this works is due to the analog/digital conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
