Photoshop

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before, but...

After years of procrastination, I just started using Photoshop. I'd like to import my Photoshop pictures into Scratch. How do I do this?

Re: Photoshop

You have to save the Photoshop document as something Scratch can read, like a PNG or a GIF. I would recommend PNG if you're dealing with transparent backgrounds.

GIF can have a transparent background too but only has 250 colour (I think  tongue )

Re: Photoshop

Well, this is frustrating.
I have no idea how to use this program. Sometimes I'm using the brush tool and I can't draw. What do I have to click?

Re: Photoshop

Are you talking about Scratch? You do use the brush tool. Are you sure that the selected color isn't the same as the area you're drawing on?

Make sure you're drawing onto a layer! You can't draw onto a text layer or anything that's locked. What specifically happens when you try?

Nothing. I scribble all around, and nothing shows up... How do I make sure I'm drawing on a layer?

I'm talking about Photoshop, actually. I'm pretty good with Scratch.  tongue
