How To How To

Did you know that Photoshop CS provides an easy way to add your own Photoshop tutorials to the Help menu? Check it out.

Choose Help > How To Create How Tos > Create Your own How To Tips
Your default browser opens with an easy-to-follow tutorial describing the process.
With some basic HTML coding and a text editor like WordPad you can add your How To tutorial. Adobe has even provided some HTML templates to make things easier.

I've created a few files that you can add to your Help menu. Click below to download a simple Javascript calculator for solving math problems quickly as well as a direct link to your favorite Web site, photoshopHelp.com

Start by downloading the following two files.
Right-click and choose Save Link As... from the context menu.

1. photoshopHelpCalc.html
2. How To File

When the files are fully downloaded, move both to the folder named "Additional How To Content". It can be found here- Photoshop CS > Help > Additional How To Content.
Note: The .howto file will replace one that is already there. That's OK.
Restart Photoshop.
Choose Help > photoshopHelp > Calculator
to open a simple calculator app.
Choose Help > photoshopHelp > Link
to open a browser and photoshopHelp.com

Export to Photoshop Problem
Deb writes,

When I export a file from Illustrator to Photoshop the layers come in flattened. What do I have to do to keep my layers?

Check to see if your Illustrator document has any objects with either Blending or Transparency applied to it. If so, that could be the culprit. Here's a workaround.
Change the Transparency, or Blending, to to a layer-based effect rather than an object-based effect. That should do

To Whom It May Concern:

I was unable to send an inquiry to your email address of: questions@photoshopHelp.com; looks like an error with a domain and it bounced back...

My reason for writing is: Do you know anything about doing a permanent font replacement for say Photoshop and/or Illustrator? I am looking at trying to replace a font that will apply to all images with a new font, as well as images that have a missing font.

Thank you for your help,

Loretta
