    Default Photoshop trial

    I am very distressed!
    After a 5 hour download for a 30 day trial of adobe photoshop, I can't find it anywhere on my computer.
    What can I do????

    What I recommend with any downloads, is to create a folder called "Downloads and Patches". I then create a seperate sub-folder for each and every download and save to that folder.

    I assume you've done a search on your machine and not found anything. If its lost you'll just have to start again (always save the download - NOT run it first). You may be lucky and a temporary file has been created with the partial download there and not need to re-download all of the file.

    Hope you resolve your problems. Photoshop is a great tool.

    I am concerned that I may not be able to redownload it as it was a trial?? But when I do try, I will make a special folder as you suggested, great idea.

    There are lots of photoshop tutorials on the net to get you started. Like any fairly advanced program it just takes time and effort (and luck) to learn your way around. I also recommend reading the help files when you hit a brick wall (which you will). Its amazing how many just don't bother.

    I have used the help, so I'm pleased to say I did think of that. But I have 30 days to see if I can make use of it, or if I should start with a more basic program.

    Its a superb program, incredibily powerful!

    Things to try:

    Layer
    Levels
    Curves
    Hue/Sat
    Layer Mask
    Cloning

    If you can do that lot you will be able to do a lot!

    Your best option (other than photoshop) is 'The GIMP'.

    EDIT: Whoops!! I should maybe mention that other than being almost identical to photoshop, being able to do almost exactly the same things.... GIMP is FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

    http://www.gimp.org/ And since it is opensource there is always improvements.....

    Paint Shop Pro (now owed by Corel) and Corel Photo Paint (normally supplied with Coreldraw) are also fine contenders in the image editing market. (And far cheaper than Photoshop).

    Another very reasonable to purchase photo editing program (about 35 Euro) is Graphic Converter. It is easily learned and will serve most amateurs very well:
