Default Adobe Photo Shop CS2

Anybody using CS2? If so share some tips/tricks. I just swapped to CS2 from ver.2.0 & it is by far different. Im trying to change the background but cant seem to find where to do so. Post up anything thing special that you are doing, doesnt have to be changing backgrounds just anything cool.

If you want to use CS2 to do photos, there are several books advailable that deal directly with digital photos.

Just trying to make custom backgrounds, sigs & etc. Im trying to figure out how to get a under hood pic in the back ground of a pic of my car. I kinda want it to fade not just a sloid pic in the background. Hope this makes since.

I know it has to do with layers, but cant seem to figure them out.

this is simple to do. The girl is one layer, the cars and the road are another, and the type is on another layer. Then change all the colors to reds. Do a save for web and your done.

Are you trying to make like a see through hood where you can see the engine underneath?

Basically you take a pic of the car with the hood up, then take another pic of the car with the hood down. They need to be from the same angle. Go into photoshop and put the hood down car on top of the hood up car in layers. Then get the eraser tool and turn the pressure down to around 10-25% and start erasing under the hood.
