- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
so i've been using CS3 for a few years now and just switched the CS5....i dont think the version matters for this though.
I have a photo in PS, i select an area (using quick select) and ctrl+j to get it into its own new layer.
I'll then hide the background layer clicking the eye off, and manipulate the new layer.
Say i do a photo filter, some curves and a gradient to it. I then merge all visible and have my what was selected layer all done and ready to go.
I then make my background reappear and all of a suddent he changes i made to the new layer with the filters and gradient, they change the ENTIRE background, not just the selection area I had previously created.
What am i doing wrong here?
