Hi to everyone (and a request for the most basic help...) :-)

Hey,

I'm very much a beginner with Photoshop. I'd like to branch out in to Digital Art - currently I work with more 'traditional' media (graphite/oils etc.) - but am not too hot with software and would appreciate any help you guys are willing to give... which leads me to my first question:

I've been designing a banner (760 x 100px) for a shop online. Everything was working fine until I went to change tools and now I am not able to paint on the background layer... all the menus are available; I can select tools etc., but when I try to paint nothing happens

Many thanks in advance for your time



 
did you select the background layer?
do you have your brush tool selected? (b)
is the opacity of your brush not 0%?
press f5 and see if everything looks normal, and if you have selected the right brush.


if not, just upload the .psd file so we can see if we can paint on it
