Friends

Heyyy, I'm really hoping someone can help me out here.

How do you achieve the look in the following icons?

Particularly the second one, how her eyes and lips stand out. How is that done? I use Photoshop CS3. Please explain in dummy terms lol

This is kind of an odd problem that I've never seen here before.

I use Photoshop CS2.

Somehow, I don't know how, I managed to mess up my save dialog box and now it's huge. There is no minimize button to make it smaller, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a keyboard combination that will get it to go back to it's regular size because this huge size is really annoying.

The dialog box to open a file is huge as well.

Example: click the thumbnail

Thank you for any help.

Note: This is how I blend. It's the only way I blend. I can't get blending to work by having both layers set to normal and by erasing the parts I don't want. I think it looks weird and the blending isn't smooth. I don't know how other people blend and if I once knew another way to blend, I don't know it anymore. In other words: this tutorial isn't the be all and end all to blending.

Note: This isn't image heavy.

I'm new to Photoshop - just got it (CS3), and was totally excited about working with it, but then it turned out I can't get my brushes to work properly. They show up all right where they're supposed to, but colour-wise they're messed up. No matter what I do, they're all transparent, and brushes that I download from DeviantArt look nothing like they do there.

Screenshot here. Example of a preset brush that came with the programme in the above picture, and a brush downloaded from DeviantArt in the one below. The DeviantArt brushes especially confuse me - why do they look like that? It's a santa hat like the ones I see in so many icons at the moment, why is this all screwed up?
Another problem is that on that image, I can't change the colour. As you can see, it's grey - and no matter what I do, it won't change. When I click on the colour square down at the left, it shows that I've chosen red (as seen in this screenshot), but it won't actually paint in that colour.

I'm sure the first problem at least has something to do with opacity, but I've used the Photoshop help and looked through old entries here, and I cannot for the life of me figure this out. Anyone? Bueller? Any help greatly appreciated!

(I did read this post from the archives, but I'm not sure if it's the same problem that I'm having since it's PSP, and I didn't really understand how to solve it.)

I want to make an animated GIF but the screencaps I have are of poor quality.
But when I change the coloring of one frame, I want it also to do the same to the other frames.
(I opened the frames as layers)
Is there a way to do that instead of coloring the caps one by one?
I use Adobe Photoshop CS3

Thanks in advance!

Alright, so I'm in Photoshop 7.0 working on an animation request for a different site. The animation is huge, at least 6 MB -and I have it all prepped and pretty. So, I go to Jump To > Image Ready 7.0, and I turn the layers into frame. I delete the frames with the background, border, text, and adjustments, leaving me just the animation part. Now, I want to make the background visible for the first frame. I click on the eye- And it doesn't become visible. Same with the border layer. However, the text and adjustments are allowed to toggle between visible and invisible. Is it because the file is freaking huge? Any thoughts, it's driving me mad?

Screenshot can be provided.

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.
