    When you make them, click Save as... then choose JPEG from the drop-down menu for file type. ^_^;

    She was only trying to help. Now that he knows how to save it the basic way, she may have thought he would be interested in save for web.

    Yes, Photoshop can indeed be a very, very powerful program once you get the hang of it all... I've been using it for years now... Combine the powers of Photoshop and Illustrator, and you can achive some ungodly beautiful effects with them. I mean, how else do you think I made my avatars? ;)
    I just can't wait to get Adobe CS though... (the CS stands for 'creative suite' or something like that) It's like the MS Office and the new Macromedia products... The main programs are all bundled together for ultra-easy use and incredible interactivity between them... Which means that I can take my AI files from Illustrator immediately over to Photoshop in just a few clicks... and probably retain most of the layer data within them...

    BTW, what's your method for getting extractions? Do you use the Extract command, or do you just outline what you want with the lasso tool? I personally make my outline with paths, then make a selection of that... so much more control that way...

    For example, here's the original take of my current avatar, at half the original size, 300x300 (my 600x600 version was too big, even when zipped)... You'll need Photoshop to open it...

    Well, I have learn alot about photoshop by playing around. (aspecially when want to use the align freature under layers). It's a very simple program to make stuff like wallpapers, images, banners, and avatars.

    I use it to make high resolution realistic textures for a retexture project for Quake 2 (an old, but violent game)
    Though I use it for all kinds of general-purpose image editing as well... MS Paint makes me sick (I loathe that program), and I can't get the hang of PSP... I'll even use PS to edit out a couple of pixels...
