vmilan76 SISter Elle (1751)	# Posted: 8 Feb 2008 21:57 Hey girlie...Is it in photoshop? If so, hubs says there are so many things that could have gone wrong, you could be using white? You might be on a layer that is locked or hidden? He needs more info :)

It sounds, tho, like you're trying to stamp on a layer underneath what's showing on your screen... I'm am NO expert, but that sounded right, anyway! HTH! Jan :)
milkcan SISter Elle (1945)	# Posted: 8 Feb 2008 23:42 - Edited by: milkcan When you say sparkly outline, are you talking about a kind of flashing dotted line? If i'ts not a layer problem (look at the layers palette on the right), I believe you may not be using the brush tool. Several of the other tools look similar to the brush tool and use the brush shapes, so double check that you have the brush tool selected. Also, if you can take a screen shot and share it, one of us can probably help you out!
