Hi. I am a complete beginner and is still trying to get my head around this thing.

I have a particular requirement which I hope you can help with.

I need to create a picture being black in the centre rgb(0,0,0) and then gradually turn grey and finally white in all directions rgb(255,255,255) by the very edge of the picture. Can anyone suggest how to do this?

Thanks
John

No problem – when you have Photoshop figured out, be sure to let the rest of us know what the heck is going on!

You can use levels (CTRL+L); move the slider on the left to the right until it reaches the area where the information starts in the histogram. If the histogram starts right at the very left side it means that you have pure black. Another thing you can do is: with levels open, move the cursor over the area that should be black and read the information in the "info" palette (F8), now move the slider a little bit to the right and check again; keep doing it until the reading is 0 (I’m assuming that you are working on Grayscale).

You had me going Manuel. My first thought was, "hey, that’s the answer to question #9!" I know, you were just checking to see if we were paying attention, and to find out who reads the NG from the bottom up, when in Sort>Date. <G> Actually, I thought I’d re-clicked on your answer to question.
