I just recently got PhotoShop CS2, I have no clue how to use it and the built in help doesn't come up for some reason...
I know some of you guys use PhotoShop for you Sig\Avatar, could someone tell me how to make Shadows, I cant find "Drop Shadows"...
I'm trying to make a spray for Counter-Strike: Source...
PhotoShop CS2 v.9

drop shadows are in the bottom right corner of the screen, (by default) see the little italicized "F" in the pallette w/ the layers? thats the effects button...click on that and one of the options will be Drop Shadow.
Actually, I don't think it's worth it unless you're planning to go in the business. There are plenty tools that are more suited for the average user and some (like the GIMP) are free. So why waste 600 MB of your hard drive, 2 GB of your memory and support piracy when you can use something else?
I, for example, NEEEED to use it because there are no high-end alternatives. If there were free alternatives to Photoshop and Flash I would throw Winblows out the window and switch to Ubuntu in the blink of an eye.

I don't like Gimp that much either, Photoshop is MUCH better, and I think it took about the same amount of space?
FiveSeven were do you get 600 MB of hard drive and 2 GB of "memory"
and Windoes XP cant even handle 2 GB of ram right...
It's only 250 MB and I have 512 MB of 400 hz ram and it runs perfect even with other "consuming" programs open...

I wish people would stop needing a better signature!

Sorry for the late reply.
Well, let me break it down for you:
- XP can handle up to 4GB of internal memory by default:
Photoshop uses its own virtual memory, called scratch disk. If you say it works "perfectly", then you obviously haven't worked with large files
Once, I had a total scratch space of 8 GB.
If you only work on web-sized images, you shouldn't have space problems. Just remember to set your primary scratchdisk on a different drive than C: (or wherever you have your Windows pagefile set up).
Well, let me break it down for you:
- XP can handle up to 4GB of internal memory by default:
and with some tinkering:By definition, a 32-bit processor uses 32 bits to refer to the location of each byte of memory. 2^32 = 4.2 billion, which means a memory address that's 32 bits long can only refer to 4.2 billion unique locations (i.e. 4 GB).
- Where do you get 650 MB of external storage from? Try the System Requirements.However, systems booted /PAE can support up to 64GB physical memory. A 32-bit process can "use" large amounts of memory via AWE (address windowing extension) functions. This means that they must map views of the physical memory they allocate into their 2GB virtual address space. Essentially, they can only use 2GB of memory at a time.

What part of "64 GB of RAM" didn't you get?!
Anyway, I bet any man on the surface of the Earth would agree that the Mac Pro is the best piece of machinery one could buy.

Who the hell would have the money or system or motherboard for 64gb of ram.FiveseveN wrote:What part of "64 GB of RAM" didn't you get?!

The guys who run servers?
Adress Windowing Extension was developed with servers in mind.
Graphics stations usually don't go above 16 GB, like this one:
