Hello, Im a total noob to photoshop, but Ive decided to make it my new hobby and am trying to learn everythin about it I can, but the going is a little slow.. Ive been doing good so far, but I have had a proble with centering within selections or images.. is ther a shortcut key to place my selection tool in the exact center of an image? another problem i am having is creating my own patterns.. is ee the pattern maker.. but I make a pattern and cant save it it.. and cant apply it using the pattern stamp.. how dop i make my own patterns?? Thanks much..

Cheers!

hi, I don't really understand your purpose to put your selection tool exactly at the centre of the image. anyway, here is a trick to make your selection tool fall at the centre of the image:

1. choose crop tool (c) .
2. make a full rectangular covering the whole image. Centre of the image is indicated by crop tool.
3. place your cursor at the centre of the image.
4. cancel crop function (esc)
5. choose move tool (v)
6. click and drag.

Enlighten me if there is a simpler way of doing this.

To make your own pattern:

1. open any template pattern file noramlly located at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Patterns

2. edit the template file to the pattern you want.
3. goto "edit" followed by " define pattern".
4. name your new pattern and you can now use it!!
