sooooooooooo i decided to try to use my laptop and a 7 or 8 year old photoshop elements to get some of the backgrounds digitized, because my tablet is pressure sensitive and that is essential to get the look im trying to accomplish.. yep, the tablet drivers are still yet to be installed on the computers in the mac lab (not impressed) so this seemed like a good option. or at least a half decent one. as long as i keep the layers right, all i'd have to do is transfer it to the maclab and animate it there. anyways, the selection tools on this version obviously are not up to par with that of CS5, so i decided to hand draw some new backgrounds and cut out the middle man. i found a pressure sensitive brush that works really well, and i was really excited with the results i was getting. so i went to add the colour and SURPRISE photoshop froze. i think my version is too early to actually have the "photoshop has quit unexpectedly" notification, so i just sat infront of my laptop for a half hour praying for that little blue circle to stop spinning and for photoshop to come back to life. but alas, it did not.
i just hope CS5 is better for it than CS3 was last year, i was on the verge of putting my face through the montior by the end of it. you'd think i would have learned to save excessively by now.
