TROUBLESHOOTING - Things to pay attention to

You might experience a situation where Photoshop does not allow you to do what you wish and comes up with a No Entry symbol to stop you.

Instead of the symbol sometimes you might get a warning message.

• First thing to check is whether you are using the correct layer. You might be trying to copy or cut a selection from a picture but you are actually viewing/using a different layer. To solve this just click on the correct layer where the selection is in reality.

• Secondly - the problem may also be that the layer you are using is locked. This normally does not interfere but, depending on the situation, it sometimes might.

To solve this all you need to do is double-click on the lock icon and then click on OK.

• Another problem could be that the image mode is set to Indexed RGB. This usually happens when the image has been saved as .gif.

Photoshop converts to Indexed RGB automatically to reduce the file-size for storage. All you need to do is to click on Image/Mode and then choose RGB color.

[NOTE: SAVING...please save your work first as .psd (Photoshop format) and then as .jpg or any other preferred format. In this way you will always have a lossless version to work on should you need to further edit your work]
