Dodging???

[kristen]

I think this goes here (if not mooderators please let me know!) Does anyone have any suggestions for dodging in Corel Paintshop Pro? For whatever reason I cannot figure our how to actually get anything to show up!! (I am making a banner for here)

Thanks!

can you screenshot your screen and post it on here? i may or may not be able to help, but i'll try -- i use photoshop elements and psp.

If you could help I would be so grateful!!

okay, the first thing i would try to do is to 'flatten' the image, then dodge. it may be dodging your transparent layer instead of the actual babyz. to do this, click on 'layers'. there should be an option to flatten it. if there isn't, show me what's in the tab [: it may be worded differently.

before you do it, though, make sure the babyz are placed where you want them.

After merging lol

does it let you dodge now? you may have to dodge, then do the transparency if that makes sense

I got this far but now dont know how to get rid of the white background  haha (to make it transparent)

I am actually in the process of getting the free adobe photoshop trial. This program is Corel which I am not sure I am liking haha. Maybe ill have more luck with this other one!
