Select the layer (or part of image) you want to resize, then hit Ctrl-T, or select Transform Selection from the Edit menu. Then adjust the bounding box and click the checkmark when you are done. You can hold down shift before dragging from a corner of the box to constrain the proportions of the image as you resize.

press W for the magic wand, if you don't see a wand in CS2+ right click on the tool that's selected and than make it the magic wand.

or

L for lassoo , I use the one where you do it manually (theres 3 kinds)

or

ctrl + A (select all)

those are your three options without going into layers or colors.

ctrl+shift+Uor

cmd+shift+U (on mac)

This makes anything inside the layer you have selected, black and white, grayscale.

But there is a difference of a grayscale color mode and grayscale layer contents.

Grayscale sellected from mode window, refers to the whole document. It is different than having only a layer or two in B&W and everything else in color.

To switch to grayscale or any other color mode you can go to

image/mode/*Grayscale (RGB, CMYK...etc)

You can download a trial for 60 days but if you want the full version you have to illegally download it through a torrent

The Options bar is located right beneath the Menu bar (File, Edit, Image, etc.) and wil display different options depending on what tool you have selected.

Type Tool is how you type letters, numbers, symbols, etc into a Photoshop document.

Side note: Photoshop 7.0 is 11 years old.

You can download the newest version of Photoshop at Adobe.com.

Keep in mind that there are different types of Photoshop available. CS5 is the fancy, professional version. CS5 extended is the same, but with some 3D and motion capabilities. Lightroom seems to be for photo retouching and organization. Elements is a basic program. It is the one I have. As of version 6, it does not have animation, masking or vector-like line tools. It does however, have pretty much everything else and is extremely powerful.

You can buy these programs individually or bundled with other programs. You may also be able to get a discount if you are a student or teacher. Click around to see what the best deal for you is.

You will also have to download their install wizard. This means at least two downloads: one for the wizard and one for the program. Give yourself plenty of time.

The Brush tool is above the Stamp tool in the Tools pallate. You may not see the icon for it if you have the Pen tool or one of the other tools from that group selected, and will need to click and hold the icon to bring out a pop-out menu, from which you will be able to select the Brush tool. Alternately, the hotkey for the tool, or to cycle through the tools in that group, is always B.

Found in the left side menu normally at the top the wand when selected and clicked on a picture or layer will highlight all the same colour as youve clicked on. However, where there is no liknk to the colour ie. in a try where you can see the white of the sky it will only select where white is touching white (or the colour you want to select)

Copy and paste "Find a serial number - Adobe" into your search engine hit enter on your keyboard. Click on the "Find a serial number - Adobe" link in the search results, it will take you to an Adobe support page that will help you get your serial number.

Selection tool are used to select a portion of image. With this portion allocated (selected) you can do what you want without affecting rest of picture.

See related link for detailed explanation with snapshots.

You can create new blank layer which is transparent by clicking Create a new layer (page) icon in LAYERS palette or from Layer > New > Layer (Ctrl + Shift + N). To make existing layer transparent or with some level of transparency (0% - transparent, 100% - opaque) use Opacity slider (or type number in text field) in top right corner in LAYERS palette. Another way to make layer transparent is to remove its fill using Fill slider which is below Opacity (click triangle on right side to appear slider). Difference between this two methods which may seems to you as exactly the same is because Photoshop does not treat layer effect as layer fill so you can for example add Drop Shadow layer effect to an object (circle for example) and setting Fill to 0% will remove object fill (will make it invisible) but drop shadow will still be visible, on the other hand setting Opacity to 0% will hide (make transparent) and object and layer effect.

To Flatten your Layers in Photoshop simply go Layer>Flatten. I recommend saving your image as a psd before you flatten so that you can refer back to your layers. Then flatten and save as a jpg.

Every image shown in Google images has a different type of copyright. Your first job is to find the website it originates from, and see if the website is or shows where the image originally came from. Chances are, if the artist/ photographer has not directly stated that the image is free for use, then it is protected.

Ask yourself what the image is for. If it is just being worked on for fun and will never be posted or shown anywhere, then have fun! Don't worry about it.

If you will edit the image and then post it or display it either on or outside the web then it is common courtesy (and even required) to first ask the artist/photographer if you can use it. If your intentions are good, then most original uploaders will be quite accomodating. If you do not ask, you might be required to take it down later.

If you plan to use the edited image for commercial work, then you MUST and MUST MUST ask the owner of the image. They may have you pay an inexpensive fee for it. Make sure both parties are satisfied with the agreement. Put a signed agreement on paper if you feel it necessary.

There are two common misconceptions about google images,

First: "All google images are public property" In fact, google simply takes every image it can off the web, regardless of its source, and displays them in one place. All images are copywritten.

Second: "As long as you edit an image at least 7 times, or only take 25% of it, then it is yours." This is heavily debated, but if you can still see a piece of the original image in the work, then it can be said to still belong to the original artist.

Be careful and be nice, and you should be fine.

It depends on how much money you are ready to spend. You can get a not bad video card with 256 Mb. But if you want to work efficiently it's better you have at least 512 SLI (1024 together). The best and most expensive is 1024 Mb vido cards which are create for video editing and gaming. It can cost as much as $700-1000 depending on brand and type.

It depends on your point of view, and which operating system works better for you. I personally would use it on a Mac because of better memory management and core 64-bit in the operating system. Those things tend to speed it up quite a bit.

Photoshop can do many things such as adding things to photos, improving the look of people in pictures, edit videos and do the same thing, make crazy photos like on the internet etc plenty more i absoulutely recomend it

Photoshop 7.0 is an older version of the photo editing software by Adobe.

There are a multitude of websites offering Photoshop training, but these can cost several hundreds of pounds. One may be able to learn sufficient simply by watching instructional videos on youtube for free.
