A question - photoshop 7.0
Is anyone familiar with photoshop 7.0? I'm trying to mess with the cel painting tutorial but I've never used photoshop before, and all I have is a trial version of 7.0.
The problem I have with it is each time I make a pass over an area with the pointer it gives me a shade of the color I chose. If I let up on the mouse button and click again, it goes a shade darker. It's very handy except for when I accidentally unclick, and all of a sudden I have a dark shade in a wacky spot that I didn't want and can't undo.
Does anyone know if there's any way to keep it from getting progressively darker until I'm ready for it?

turn off the airbrushing feature, or set the opacity to 100%... or... uhm... yeah thats all i remember.

Thanks! That seems to have worked. :)
Another question... now that I've colored my picture, and I want to add in a background, I've made the background and after some head-pounding figured out how to actually get it into the background... however the colors on the background keep tinting everything in the foreground, altering its original color.
Does that make any sense? Is there a way to keep that from happening? I don't want my background colors to keep washing out the other layers. :)

Are you sure the layers aren't set to transparent? And that they're layered properly?
This is how it should look in your layer window:
dragon
colors for dragon
background
So that the dragon is on top of the background. That make sense?

Yeah. I have a few different layers. I've messed with the transparencies, the background is in the right spot, I've pretty much clicked every button I can think of, re-ordered the layers, re-re-ordered the layers, and I still can't seem to keep the background from bleeding through the colors of the other layers.
That said, I deviated from the tutorial during the shading section because right around that point I stopped understanding it. The first page was good, but the second was confusing. Either way, I would think I'd be able to slide my background underneath, no?
I looked up all the help I could find for PS 7.0 online, and still couldn't seem to get it working right. :/

IM me and we can figure it out if you like. You can send me the .psd if you want or we can voice chat or something.

Thanks Mai, Roz helped me sort it all out. :) I think I ought to stick to large boxes of crayons in the future though, and very big sheets of paper.
And stick figures. ;)
