    Fill or swatch that makes layers underneath transparent?

    The best way to do this would be to set up a mask in Flash (assuming that's what you are going to use for the animation).

    how to use brush tool

    You can't work with Photoshop images in Illustrator like that. The tools in Illustrator work over vector images, not bitmaps (which are the ones produced in Photoshop). I suggest that you take a look at some older posts in this forum for learning about the differences between these two programs...

    PSP Pro X2 - How do you Install Vector Graphics?

    Which format are these graphics in? Are they specific for PSP (preset shapes, maybe?) or just some generic files?

    Use eyedropper in gradient box

    You can also just drag-and-drop swatches onto the gradient slider.

    AI shutting down when I save files

    CS3 still had issues with the preferences becoming corrupt, so a possible workaround would be to reset the preferences. The file is called AIPrefs and is located under 'Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings'. It is a hidden file. Delete it with...

    Top Menu Bar

    From what I recall from AI 10 you would find those options under the tool flyout: click and hold over a tool in order to display the flyout; click on the button to the far right to make it permanently visible. If that's it, once you have it visible, place it where you want it and save this...

    PSPPhotoX2ultimate .. linking My PSP plugins folder

    Corel sure has a sense of humor... Will adding a new location to other tools work (any path will do for testing purposes)? If the OK button doesn't work for other tools either, it could be an installation issue as far as I can tell.

    My pen tool shows up as an X instead of an Icon?

    Uncheck "use precise cursors" under the general preferences (edit - preferences - general).

    One area color and the rest black & white (or sepia!)

    Here's one tutorial for that: http://teom.coningham.net/psp-x/greyscale-and-color

    PSP X2.

    Oh, I guess I didn't elaborate much on that one! When I say print jobs I mean professional printing, large-format posters, banners, outdoors, some processes that require color separations, etc. Photoshop's focus is on professional users (i.e. graphic designers). While PSP is aimed towards home...

    PSP X2.

    Unfortunately there aren't enough tutorials on photomanipulation for PSP. For some reason we haven't gone that deep yet (I'm working on a new tutorial site and intend to put stuff like that up, but there's no release date). What you can do in order to learn PSP is simply try out tutorials that...

    I am trying to find Illustrator CS1 trial dwnload

    Btw, if you can't find the trial on Adobe's site, you probably won't find it anywhere else unless you try torrents and such. Download sites usually link to the program in the developer's servers, not on their own.

    I am trying to find Illustrator CS1 trial dwnload

    CS1 is closer to 10 than to CS3. However, as long as you don't use effects or the live features (or use them but expand after use) when sending the file to the customer, there should be no issues.

    Ellipse Tool Question-PLEASE HELP

    You can use the Transform palette to enter new values for the Ellipse. I also like using the Convert to Shape effect, as it lets you preview the new size.

    Duplicate Items Detected

    Which version are you using? You'll probably have to reset the registry but depending on the version the process is a bit different (you can search the forum for the procedures, because those have been posted several times). Another thing you can do is delete PSP's cache files (you'll find them...

    PSP Lost Menu Bar - Again

    Shift + A will hide the menu. It is the "full screen edit" mode.

    Help, I can't see the colors, it's like a skeleton of my image

    What about your layer? Do you see a filled eye on the palette or does it show the outline? Last place to check is the appearance palette, to make sure that no effect is being applied to your shape. If all else fails, delete the AIPrefs file.

    Help, I can't see the colors, it's like a skeleton of my image

    You are in outline view, change to preview by either going to View - Preview or by hitting Ctrl + Y (Windows).

    website layouts.

    Basically the layouts are built through XHTML and CSS, and you use the element positioning techniques to place the graphics that you create inside PSP into the web page. It's like if you created the layout on a piece of paper, then cut bits and pieces of each element, and then placed them back...

    Embedding images in email

    Not an Illustrator issue and I don't think you are making yourself clear... Safari and Firefox are not servers. If you are using them to access your email then it all comes down to whether the service you use lets you embed the image or not. If pop3 is offered by your email provider you could...
