Re: Photoshop 6

No, don't have that problem at all. It may be your graphics card. Check to see
that you have the latest version. One thing I noticed was that when trying to put
the palettes into the "palette well" on the options bar, the well -- is supposed
to highlight when the palette touches it . Well (no pun intended) : 1) the manual
has no illustration showing what the "well" looks like nor does it describe it.
Just says it's on the bar. I thought it should be the the empty box on the right
side of the options bar, but 2) mine does not highlight and can find nothing that
does.

My only real objection is Adobe's conversion to the school of MicroSoft, with it's
insistence to bring everyone online to the Adobe site. Despite their assurances to
the contrary, when I first updated per their instructions I saw the modem sending
a lot of information from my system. Did what I could by stopping automatic
installation and not checking automatically for updates. I really resent their
having capricious accesss to my system even though I have a good firewall. Haven't
succombed to online help yet and hope the gurus will rush their 6.0 books for us.
