Is there a way to get CS4 to use variable length LNZ compression for PNGs? |

I'm a self-professed Photoshop guru! I've been using it for 17 years, and I feel confident that I can answer any questions you might have! |

Yes, with a plugin: http://www.fnordware.com/superpng/ |

How'd you become a PS guru? |

I've been using photoshop for a few years now and I'm also self taught. I wouldn't say I'm a guru, but using photoshop is pretty easy. |
|
I use it very rarely. Past two years or so. I suck very badly. |

What'd be helpful would be to compare aspects of Photoshop with the program I'm stuck with, Paint Shop Pro...if you know anything at all about the latter, that is. It seems whenever I seek out a coloring/shading/effects/etc. tutorial, Photoshop is the only thing digital artists use. I have no idea how to replicate what is shown in their tutorials because PSP operates completely differently...or so it seems. |

"Take atheism, for example. Not a religion? Their pseudo-dogmatic will to convert others to their system of beliefs is eerily reminiscent of the very behavior they criticize in the religious."
Paint Shop Pro is horrible. |

If and how is Photoshop better than Paint.NET? |

Lëzen - I don't know of any way to compare Photoshop to Paintshop Pro. I recommend targeting your search keyphrases to include "Paintshop Pro" (in quotes) or -photoshop. |

Tell me about subtlety of lighting in pixel elements. One-pixel highlights, carefully colored shadows, sure, but any other tips? |

Realistic lighting in three-dimensional web design elements, in short. |
|
I would open the image in Photoshop and create a new layer, then on this new layer, use the pen tool to trace the outlines that you want to keep. Once you're happy with your outlines, stroke them by right clicking the path with the pen tool and selecting "stroke path>brush", or hovering over the path with your brush of choice and hitting "enter". Note: It can be helpful to stroke one path at a time and delete them as you go - this will allow you to select a different stroke for each line (the stroke is equivalent to the brush settings you have selected), and will keep your work area less cluttered. |

When I design for web, I almost always use various combinations of layer styles to achieve cohesive, easy-to-duplicate lighting and 3d effects - but not knowing how you're constructing your elements or what look you're going for, I'm really not sure what information would be most helpful to you! |

Thanks buddy! |

It's all about the pen tool! |

Best of luck on your creation - I'd love to see the finished product! |

The pen tool is a very powerful tool. A lot of my friends are scared to use it though. |
