    different colours along the length of a letter

    Well I'm sorry if that reply sounded condascending, it certainly was not intended although on reading it back I can understand. I was trying to ( quickly ) answer your question without knowing the extent of your knowledge/experience of P/Shop. I simply wanted to reasure you that it wasn't too...

    different colours along the length of a letter

    It took me around 20 seconds to do this in P/Shop:- Make selection of your word. Isolate the letter you want to change. Go to SELECT/MODIFY/CONTRACT. Enter the number of pixels depending upon the size of the lettering and the thickness of the colour you want to apply. Invert the selection. Add a...

    Saving my noisy photos

    If you don't have CS2 with the reduce noise' filter, try this: Convert the image to Lab Colour - IMAGE>MODE>LAB COLOUR. You will now have 3 channels, LIGHTNES, A and B. Select channel A and give it a gausian blur of 4 pixels. It will look well blurred but don't worry. Do the same with channel B...

    Create layer: transparent, still grey as export

    I believe you have to export the file with an alpha channel which acts as a mask in fcp.

    Evenly distribute layers, but take into consideration their sizes...

    You need the option "DISTRIBUTE WIDTHS" which doesn't appear to be available in Photoshop.

    Need to replace writing in picture

    I would suggest you make your own wax seal. If you search on google for Photoshop tutorials, wax seal, there will be plenty of lessons. Here's one :- http://www.softwaretrainingtutorials.com/photoshop-6-adv.php

    Despretly need help finding a way to color replace in a 256 color mode

    When using 'REPLACE COLOUR', in the 'replacement' panel at the bottom you have the 'result' colour which you click to select a replacement colour. In the dialogue box that appears, you can tick the box for 'only web colours'. You also have the option of making your own custom palette. Don't know...

    Have you tried IMAGE / ADJUSTMENTS / REPLACE COLOUR. This can be used on indexed colour images.

    resizing down, adjusting levels best practice

    You need to allow for "dot Gain" when assesing how your finished print will look. This issue takes some getting to grips with and is not something that can be explained thoroughly in a forum answer. Do a search in Google. Here's one link which will help explain what your printer is saying;-...

    resizing down, adjusting levels best practice

    Try the SHADOW/HIGHLIGHT controls. Go to - IMAGE>ADJUSTMENTS and choose Shadow/Highlight. The default setting is pretty good, but play around with the controls ( on duplicated image ). Pushing up the "Midtone Contrast" slider works wonders ( for me ) on greyscale pictures.

    Centering a web page inside the browser window?

    Sorry - late in replying. In the Table Inspector palette set the 'width' box and the 'height' box both to 'percent' rather than pixels or auto. Type 100 in each box.

    Don't knoe why this is happening but try this. Select all the elements on your page. Go to 'Export' and check the option "export selected areas only".

    Is there a way to "curve" the corners of a rectangular image?

    oops, sorry, I forgot to add that you use the rectangle as a mask to crop your images.

    Is there a way to "curve" the corners of a rectangular image?

    In the tools pallette there is a tool ( to the right of the pen tool) which has a pop-out selection. Press Shift/U until this tool appears. Now you can choose from the various options in the top horizontal options bar. You can set the size of the rectangle as well as the radious of the corners...

    Centering a web page inside the browser window?

    Rather a late reply and you may have cracked it by now. Simple way is to position your page centre vertically and horizontally inside a 1 cell table. Set the table size to 100% wide and 100% high. The table will resize with the window and the page will move into the centre.
