How do I edit photos in Photoshop V.6 and GIMP?

Alright well what you are first going to do in order to open things in Photoshop is right click a photo that you want to edit. And select "Open With" and select Adobe Photoshop 6. If it doesnt appear in the list, click "Browse" and find it. Now take notice of a few things. First, in the bottom right hand corner there is a box with layers in it. This is important for your sin city theme. Second, look at the tools in the toolbar located along the left side of the screen. Everything is pretty self explanatory except the Sponge/Burn tool with you probably wont be needing during this project anyways. The tools that you will most likely use are the magnetic lo tool. This is your best friend. This tool allows you to highlight different items based on color , so if you are only trying to get this one red object that is surrounded by blue objects all you have to do is click on an edge of the object and release then (not holding down the mouse) move your mouse in a circle around the item. Once completely around, click your starting point and your object will now be selected. Right click and select Copy as a new layer. Now back to the layers box. Select the BACKGROUND layer and now go into Tools, on the top Navigation Bar,I believe (Sorry this is all from memory, I am away from my normal computer right now. So if its not in TOOLS, then explore some of the other Menu choices on the top bar. ) And select Convert image to black and white. A screen will pop up and you can toy with the contrast and amounts of green in the image and what not, but once your happy, select OKAY and Walaaaa -- A sin city themed photo. Good Luck :)
