Because if you purchase an educational version you're acknowledging via the EULA that you're in full time education at the time of purchase and that you then may not transfer your license of the software. It might be a saving, but it's not a legitimate saving. Willingness to pay doesn't come...

Just turn off the background layer in photoshop or delete it. As long as you can see the transparency in the image when you save as .png, then the transparency will be saved within this file format automatically. Basic workflow: New image. New layer. Delete background layer. Work in any layers...

Buying a second hand copy of CS3 in order to upgrade is just as dodgy as getting someone else to use their access to a discount in order to avoid payment. You have no idea if the original seller has deleted their right to use the serial number, or even if the copy you're buying is genuine. You...

lol. I didn't even watch the link so i didn't realise i was duplicating. People always forget you can use percentages and a good few other types of measurement in the dialog boxes. :)

This company i've used before for exhibition fabrics. I know they used to do brick and corrugated metal fabrics, but i'm not sure if they are still in their range. Might be worth contacting them. http://www.bbrown.co.uk/Home

I much prefer your alternative one above. I know you don't see all the gargoyle's features, but i love that it leads you to the tower. The horizon line is in a much better spot too. :)

You can add guides with a %age. So go to view>new guide. And create one horizontal guide and one vertical guide with values of (say)98%. Each guide line will then be 2 percent from the right and 2% from the bottom of your images. You will need to add a second guide for each axis for the other...

Are you working with other high ram hugging software packages open? By plenty of space, how high a percentage is the free space? There is additional help options here too: http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/cache-bridge-cs4-cs5.html...

I love the Gargoyle and Paris cityscape. I see what you mean about missing something though. I have a feeling you've missed an additional opportunity of choosing a different camera angle. If you had tried lowering the camera angle and moving fractionally to the left to make the horizon lower...

Sounds like you'll be fine for what you want to do. I've worked with PSB files that were 16gb. It was a huge background image for use in an After Effects project that was 50,000px wide. We crossed our fingers everytime we wanted to save. We reached the limit of After Effects on that project...

Photoshop will cope with an image size of 300,000px x 300,000px and a max file size of... loads! You're mainly limited by your ram really. Your poster size on one layer is still under 1gb for a file size, so pretty small for photoshop. Once PSD files go over 2gb, then the larger file format of...

Make sure you turn it off in your camera now :)

An interesting option that i haven't tried as i don't have pentax. I found it via google. You shoot using DNG with the pentax, then in LR you can choose the "embedded" option when you choose which profile to process the DMG file. Supposedly the pentax will embed the camera settings into the DMG...

Spot healing tool will do a best guess when you use it. So if it doesn't do what you think you want it to do after the first click with it, undo and try again. It will then automatically try a different area to spot heal from itself.

There are lots of moans online about how slow CS6 is in this respect. Most say they've gone back to CS5/5.5 as it's a dealbreaker on speed for them.
