All the bad things I said about Photoshop...
 

Slating Photoshop and laying on that Fireworks and Illustrator are better.

Well, they are for web work. But - I am sorry Photoshop!
It took less that 10 minutes to change this:

It was surprisingly easy to do, once you get your head around it.
CS3 has some major differences to CS4.

I am suitably impressed by Adobe, yet again.

Could you post your work steps?

where is the difference?

didn't you just magic-wand-select the white spots with a small tollerance non-contiguous?

Er... Did what with the who-now?
I do that with my goldfish, whenever they get white-spot, if that's what you mean?

I'll write down what I did next time, though it sounds like I did it the hard way since there's a magic-wand involved somewhere.

Doing this white page was well different to doing colour. This paper is so thin...

http://www.oweiss.com/articles/image...s/zaubstab.gif With the Magic Wand, you can select all (or all neighbouring) pixels of a colour + the ones within a assignable colour tolerance. Then you can fill the selection with a colour. That's what russ meant.

You could also use Threshold, but that's too inaccurate.

Thank god that I found an English/German Photoshop dictionary.

Claire is an expert with Photoshop, but I've always used Imagestyler, Fireworks and Illustrator...

I need to catch up on the Adobe stuff, as Photoshop CS* is better than the ones I remember.

Cheers for the hints, guys!

You might want to try out Paintshop Pro instead. Seeing that one in action it seems to do few things better and easier than Adobe Photoshop. Didn't use it myself though.

even though it might be "easier" (i think the same) in paintshop pro, it's still specialized for final photo editing only.. and buying a separate program for that.. rather download some freeware tool for it

Why change back to Paintshop Pro..?

What's wrong with the results that Photoshop produced? I don't get it :dunno:
I thought it was a pretty good clean-up.

Maybe I'm not seeing something you guys are...
:mhh:
