computer question
 

afternoon all ;)

iv just installed photoshop 6 on my lappy but cant seem to get the programme to run. there is no desktop icon to click on and when i go into the folder where its installed all i can see are loads of icons but no idea which one to click on to get it running.

any help would be appreciated :)

Re: computer question
 

anything in the Programs menu, ie from the Start button ?

or you could change the display settings in 'My Computer' so that it shows details rather than icons. Anything ending in .exe or .bat is worth a double-click

Re: computer question
 

should be in C:\program files\Adobe\Photoshop- whatever

Re: computer question
 

well ive managed to get it working, just no idea how to use it now :(

Re: computer question
 

Can I suggest the manual that came with it?

Re: computer question
 

Ok, to stop messing about.

Photoshop is a HIDEOUSLY complex piece of software.

It IS however VERY good at doing what it does.

However, unless you are doing it for a living, I find it VERY difficult to justify the time, or the money, and ?500 is a lot, to learn it.

If you are just wanting a GFX/Pain proggy, can I suggest The GIMP

I find that 99% of what I want to do can be done in that, and its FREE.

i had it given to me, no manual tho. wouldnt pay the money for the programme because i cant get a mortgage :rolleyes:

iv loked at gimp before but if i remember rightly you have to download bits n bobs aswell as gimp

Re: computer question
 

Nope, theres a windows installer to take care of getting you all GIMPy

http://gimp.org/windows/

Only addition you may need to download is the manual

Re: computer question
 

I taught myself photoshop, and I am still learning, and I know about 2% of it's features! It is such a great program, but will take ages to learn unless you have a mate to show you some essentials.

Bwahaha.

Try CAD in "Ideas" that's a proper git?
