This is my printer set up, does a great job if I keep it all in order.

When using Photo Shop to cut a section of an image out of a picture, how do you return it to its exact position when finished changing its light qualities etc?
Sniper, I’ve had Windows 7 since it was released on October 22. I have not had ONE problem or ONE crash since then. None. It has been flawless. No need to go back to XP.
I use a constant ink supply on my printer, it isn't just a matter of buying another cheap printer from Walmart.
My printer was on the family network so we could print from all 4 work stations. My daughter and son in law moved to win 7 and the printer won't work for them. We had to buy another set up. It is ridiculous!
If you can keep a constant ink supply going at all you have my respect.
I continued to use the same (old!) printer after I got a new computer loaded with Win7. Just downloaded new drivers for it. It was trivial. I can’t believe Adobe doesn’t have an upgrade available for PhotoShop for Win7.
My ex uses PS professionally every day. I’ll ask him how he dealt with the change for you.
I could print text with the old printer and vista but could not make adjustments or run cleaning cycles.
Without the ability to set preferences you just waste photo paper. I set the printer to match a color chart and a Pantone Huey to set the monitor. If it doesn’t all work together print quality is all over the place. Photoshop version 7 is old stuff but it works fine. there aren’t any upgrades. The printer is the problem anyway. It’s taken a long time to accumulate software, I can’t afford to start over.

Thanks for the tips everyone, because with the ‘lasso tool’ it is to much for me to get it done.
Basically what I have is a very dark image of a person because the Nikon matrix exposure metering keyed in to much on the sky/clouds back ground.
I have an HP Photosmart but it’s a different model, doesn’t have all those separate vats for color. Anyway, it stopped working for awhile after some windows update (the kind in which Mr Gates breaks into your house in the middle of the night and messes with your machinery without asking your permission, and just tells you about it in the morning). I downloaded and installed new drivers and it worked again. Had to go through the same thing after I got the new computer.
Looks like there’s a lotta food stuff there to check out.
HP doesn’t make the ink supply system. they don’t even like it for that matter, it reduces ink costs to about 1/10 of the cost of constantly replacing cartridges. The throw away cartridge game is a shameless ripoff.
I haven’t had problems with it. It’s paid for itself many times now anyway. About once a month I run some windex through the print head and let if soak awhile, run a couple of cleaning cycles and it’s good to go.
Arggggh....that was the major downside when we bought a new PC and laptop with 7; printer incompatibility. We bought - and returned THREE - before we ended up with a Brother that could actually keep up. Very aggravating.
Otherwise, we love the simplicity of 7 after we'd had XP on the old machine.
I look for photo quality over speed, I don’t care how slow it is as long as the pics look good. That narrows down the choices though.
