Please help me with my project- I know nothing about PS!!!!

I want to major in Photography and have to take a Digital Imaging class. The first project is a Mr. Potato Head body with all the parts (eyes, mouth, hands, etc.) scattered around it. I have to create layers I guess to put the body parts in but have NO idea how to do it! I know how to create a new layer, but I don't know how to put the body parts in the layer or anything! The only thing I've done with Photoshop prior to this is editing photos but have no idea how to do anything else and have always been confused with the layers in Photoshop and never really understood the feature. (This is an online class BTW).
Also, I asked this somewhere else and the person told me that when I selected the part of the image I wanted to put in the new layer, I can select the copy via layer and a new layer is automatically created. However, I can't seem to access that layer when I click on it and it doesn't appear to be locked. Why is this? (The answer is probably something obvious but I'm so new at Photoshop I know pretty much nothing about it!)
If anyone can help me, I would reeeally appreciate it!!!!

Hi,
Below are some tutorial link explaining layers.
http://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/layer-shortcuts/
http://www.tutorial9.net/photoshop/working-with-layers-in-photoshop/
For extracting a perticular part you have to create selection for the part and Press Ctrl+J to copy paste in new layer.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still does not connect to any network that indicates a hardware problem.
    If you only can't connect to your network that indicates a problem with your network.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • I just inherited a 64GB ipad. I have passwords for the deceased person but would like to sync it with my mac osx.  Know nothing about ipads. Help please

    I just inherited a 64 GB ipad.  I have passwords for the deceased person but would like to reset everything and start new. I use a mac/0SX but know nothing about an ipad other than turning it on.  I am in the same household as the deceased person but does not seem to be recognizing the wireless setup.  Any help would be appreciated. Any recommendations as to where to start.

    That's really enough information. You can update this iPad to iOS 6.1.2. If there is a microphone icon next to the space bar on the keyboard, you have an iPad 3. But if you are saying that it hasn't been touched for over a year, it probably is not the iPad 3. The iPad 3 is one year old this week IIRC.
    If you want, you can go to Settings >General>About>Model to find the model number and it you Google that, you can find out which version of the iPad it is.
    I just wanted to see what iOS you would be able to update to. I'm not sure what else to tell you other than what we've already stated. You should set this up as new, update the iOS and then start all over again with you own iTunes content.
    The link that Eric posted would be a good place to start so that you can get an idea of what the iPad can do. If you want to restore the iPad back to factory settings, you will need to do this with iTunes on your Mac. You must be running OS X 10.6.8 at minimum and must be using iTunes 10.6.3 (I think) in order to syn with iTunes on the Mac.
    This explains how to restore to factory settings.

    if you are that uncomfortable trying to do this on your own, and if there is an Apple Store near you, make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar and ask an Apple tech to help you with it. That is what they do. There is no charge for an Apple Store Genius Bar visit. The stores also offer classes for the iPad that you might find useful as well.

    I did go to their Web site and I see they have a support link. Perhaps you can get help there or in their forum.
    If you are OK with a DVD with a basic menu, you could try the Share>DVD option in FCP.

  • HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.

    HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.  I cannot find any new downloads for Safari that work with Leopard.  The newest ones only work with Lion.  My Firefox browser still works though but I would rather use Safari and cannot access any e-mails or send any e-mails via Safari.  This happened about 3 weeks ago and I thought it was just a glitch on Hotmail's site.  Now I realize Hotmail must have released an update that no longer works with Leopard 10.5.8.  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!  Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this and attempts to help me.  I do not know what to do....

    Hi Sue,
    What exactly happens when trying Safari?
    They did change it to Outlook recently, but while not pretty, I can access mine with Safari 4.0 still...
    You can also set it up in Mail so you don't need a browser at all if you want.

  • Please help me with an error 1418...

    OK I have iPod mini 4GB and I have the latest iTunes installed 7.02 or something I don't know anymore.
    Anyway a sad iPod icon displayed on my screen a few days ago and I managed to restart it and to put it in a disk mode and then iTunes finally recognized iPod and I clicked on Restore and then Restore and Updated and after a few seconds during the restore process it says:
    An iPod 'iPod' couldn't be resoterd. An unknown error occurred (1418).
    I am desperate and i don't know what to do.
    I read almost everything about this but nothing helped.
    Please help me with any kind of solution...

    I did a Support Search for that error number and this is what I got. I hope one of these links helps:

    Hey @10p,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you need assistance with the installation of Norton Antivirus that you received with the purchase of an HP 16gb Pendrive. Did you get the Pendrive with a computer or just purchase the Pendrive on its own?
    Once I know if the Pendrive came with the purchase of a computer I will be able to point you in the right direction for support. Good luck!

  • Please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"

    Can anyone please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"
    I've followed the instructions by removing all Apple files from my laptop, but when I reinstall the iTunes software it still comes up with this message:
    "Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2"
    Thank you

    iTunes "Apple Application Support is required... Error 2" and possible fix.
    I know this is a bit late but I came accross this thread trying to resolve this same problem and came up with a solution that worked for me, so thought I would share it here too. I hope it helps someone else.
    I just resolved this on Win Vista (should apply equally for Win7 too). Please uninstall iTunes before proceeding though. I'll walk you through the process I followed, if you like you can jump straight to the Solution section.
    Problems:
    The initial error during the installation of iTunes was:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F
    The error (after installing iTunes) when trying to run iTunes was:
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
    After trying various fixes around the forums I came across this MSKB article, which relates to the first installation error:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688946
    This lead me to trying to install MS Visual C++ but I received the following error trying to install that:
    Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type=”win32”,version=”8.0.50727.762”,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”amd64”’. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070BC9. Assembly interface: IassemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {837BF1EB-D770-94EB-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}
    Note: The installation of VC++ rolls back when it fails.
    Solution:
    Through this error I found this MSKB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414
    The Automated MS "Fix It" msi package didn’t work.
    Note: Please backup your registry first (see the above MSKB article for instructions).
    I opened the registry and (as instructed in the MSKB article) deleted the following keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\
    PendingXmlIdentifier
    NextQueueEntryIndex
    AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
    Reboot and reinstall iTunes.

  • Hi Everyone...Please help me with this query...!

    Please Help me with this doubt as I am unable to understand the logic...behind this code. It's a begineer level code but I need to understand the logic so that I am able to grasp knowledge. Thank you all for being supportive. Please help me.
    //Assume class Demo is inherited from class SuperDemo...in other words class Demo extends SuperDemo
    //Volume is a method declared in SuperDemo which returns an integer value
    //weight is an integer vairable declared in the subclass which is Demo
    class Example
         public static void main(String qw[])
              Demo ob1=new Demo(3,5,7,9);
    //Calling Constructor of Demo which takes in 4 int parameters
              SuperDemo ob2=new SuperDemo();
              int vol;
              vol=ob1.volume();
              System.out.println("Volume of ob1 is " + vol);
              System.out.println("Weight of ob1 is " + ob1.weight);
              System.out.println();
              ob2=ob1;
    }Can someone please make me understand --- how is this possible and why !
    If the above statement is valid then why not this one "System.out.println(ob2.weight);"
    Thanks Thanks Thanks!

    u see the line wherein I am referencing the objectof
    a subclass to the superclass...right? then why we
    can't do System.out.println(ob2.weight)?You need to distinguish two things:
    - the type of the object, which determines with the
    object can do
    - the type of the reference to the object, which
    determines what you see that you can do
    Both don't necessarily have to match. When you use a
    SuperDemo reference (obj2) to access a Demo instance
    (obj1), for all you know, the instance behind obj2 is
    of type SuperDemo. That it's in reality of type Demo
    is unknown to you. And usually, you don't care -
    that's what polymorphism is about.
    So you have a reference obj2 of type SuperDemo.
    SuperDemo objects don't have weight, so you don't see
    it - even though it is there.So from ur explanation wat I understand is - Even though u reference a subclass object to a superclass, u will only be able to access the members which are declared in the superclass thru the same...right

  • Please help me with spry bar menu

    I have laid out my page with the div tags in Dreamweaver. I defined the  different sections by putting colors in them until i am ready to put stuff into them however when i insert the spry menu bar into my navigation section, the area below it is behaving like a drop down box  of color. What i mean is that the area below which is supposed to stretch from left to right as a single box is now broken up by a different color box the width of the spry bar and goes down to the next box. When i preview it in the browser the page appears normal. How can i get rid of the intruding box in dreamweaver.

    HI
    I am practicing for the webmaster design course pratical exam. The web page i will be asked to construct will consist of a home page with two or three other pages pages in the site it will have to link to.  I know how to do most of the steps individualy but i do not know in what order some of them are done. What i mean is this. ... after setting up the root folder..images..laying out the divs .. i would like to know ... at what point do i do the various things like, set up a styles folder...make a template... make the other pages of the site ..etc. I think i am able to do nearly all of these things but not sure in what order they should be done so the site will work.
    I have reached the point where i have established the site and layout, i.e. the wrapper, logo, navigation,header,bodycontent,right and left columns, clearbar, footer. i would like someone to list the sequence i should follow after this. I am praticing on a trial CS5.5 which seems to simplfy to a freat extent what we learned on the course because it is a later version. The version we used on course was  CS4  and if the pratical is in this version then i will need to know how it is done in this format.

    Hi People!
    Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
    It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
    The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
    And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...

  • Please help me with simple program

    Can someone please write a simple program for me that opens up a webpage in the center of the screen , with a set size, and then asks the user where they would like to click on the screen. Then once the person clicks it asks how many times they would like to click there, and then once they enter the # the program opens up the webpage (in the center at the same spot as before, with the same set size) and automatically clicks on the predesignated spot , and then closes all open internet windows, and keeps doing it for however many times the person chose. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!! If you could, please post the source code here. Thank you so much to whoever helps me!!!!!!!

    If it's not to learn, then what is the purpose of
    this project?well, if it's not HW and its not for learning java, then why the hell would anyone like to have a program that may open a webpage and then repeatedly click on predefined place...
    let me see...
    now if he had asked for program that fakes IP as well, then i would suggest that he tryes to generate unique clicks, but now... i'm not sure... maybe just voting in some polls or smthing... though, i would not create a program that clicks on the link or form element, but rather just reload url with given parameters for N times...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
