Photoshop aint working properly xD..
 

What exactly does it say? Does it say it creates a copy?

I know a little about Photoshop. What is the name of the painting software you are using? I've used Corel , and it works fine in TIF format. You can also use Photoshop to get some awesome effects. Try using the smudge tool (the hand with finger pointing to the paper). You can really get some great results with it, I've used it on photos of people and flowers, and they look like paintings afterwards. If I can find the tutorial, I'll post the link.
Thanks!

Hmm I have Photoshop CS2 and don't really know what 5 is like but is there a sRGB option that you need to click? This is a type of colour profile.

In CS2 I get that option when i'm saving the file. It knows what colour profile to use when it turns the image into something else.
Here is a picture so you can see if it is clicked when you try and save.

No problem. Did it work though? :)

lol sorta huh.. ok :p
*hugs back*

You also need to check to see if the image is 8 or 16 megapixels make sure it is 8 - you can check this at the top toolbar under IMAGE.

Personally I'd recommend upgrading to a newer version. All the features will be worth it. Especially if you're using it often.

This is also a good point.

I worked on 5 years ago, moved to 7 then to CS2. There's a few more bells and whistles, but pretty much the same. I work with Nikon cameras, so I'm not familiar with Kodak formats. Nikon is Photoshop friendly. I also work on a Mac G5 at work, so I'm not sure about the PC side of Photoshop.

I'd have to ague. There's a huge difference between photoshop 7 and just CS. (I actually skipped from CS to CS3 so I can't comment on what 2 had as far as improvements). You get more control over your colours, more control over the lighting, brightness, clarity, and over all it gives you a better hold on your work.

When I was in my media arts class in the end of highschool the computers were running Photoshop 7. A few of my works I actually had to take home and use CS due to the restrictions of 9. Since that wasn't always an option it actually left a few of my projects feeling incomplete and under accomplished. I wasn't satisfied at all.

Same base for the program? Sure. I wouldn't call the improvements bells and whistles. I'd call it getting a pencil set and CS having the B6, 8 and 9 where it's predecessors do not. Sure you can get the work done but it just doesn't look the same.

Though it does really depend on what you're using photoshop for as well. I would probably have to spend at least twice as long making my signature in Photoshop 7 and end up with a lower quality finished product due to the restrictions I've found.

I know what you are saying- I meant the operating system is basically the same- with the improvements you mentioned. I work on CS2 right now
(we are wainting for the newer improved version of CS3 (there's still bugs that need to be fixed with it) I photo edit and color correct photos all day,
so CS2 IS way better than 7.
