Hi nicoli420, welcome to mobile9.

But just as a reminder, please don't use all caps when posting.

I use Psp8,but ive never used photoshop so i couldnt tell you how it compares,but its ok for me at the moment.
A bit limited maybe.

quick qestion

trying to make transparent highlight for single title screen in psp so you can see the background picture

having trouble

help please

There are several ways of doing this,but the easiest to explain is.....press 'X' which is the Eraser tool shortcut,(if not modified) then set the Opacity to 10% and the size to 300 (which is bigger than any image you will be editing in this case) and then just keep clicking the mouse anywhere on the image for the amount of transparency you need.

Dont forget to save as .png tho

Welcome
I use whatever gets my attention that day, be it PSP, PS7 or Serif Drawplus and its best to try and get a feel for the programs and use the tutorials. Good luck.
