will upload rar could you check it for me as i know you are a photoshopper!
if it is intact and its my incompetence that is stopping me using it could you give me a walk through(in laymans terms!!)
mmm keep getting error message saying upload of file failed

Actually my photoshop experience was limited to a 30 day trial which has since

been uninstalled from my computer, sorry I'm not really the one to ask.

I'm sure one the real photoshoppers will help you out though.

its funny you should say that ,pooman is currently downloading psd from source to check it for me thanks for suggestion though. i hate being beaten by my pc

Well I've opened up the psd file and it looks ok. I think what was maybe a bit confusing to some was the term "template" It's really just a psd file that you use as a template for making different see through covers for your desktop.
If you hide the layers "Artwork position" and "sample" you'll see what I mean.
Basically all you do is stick in your picture on that layer.

 

[boohbah]

thanks pooman the reason i was confused is that i couldnt see any layers do i need to click anything to show them
opps ive just been laughing at my stupidity for a moment my layers tab was minimised ....doh!
thanks pooman you are a star

Press f7 this hides/shows the layers window or click "window" on the toolbar then make sure the layers option has a tick next to it.

Don't beat yourself up as we all have been there at some time or another.
We should never stop learning. If you do will go brain dead!
Keep it alive...
