HELP IS FOR THOSE THAT HELP THEMSELEVES!!!

1. Click on Help on the PhotoshopCS menu.
2. Click on "Photoshop Help..."

If this is two slow so far, skip steps 1 and 2 by pressing the F1 key.

3. On the left side of the screen, find and Click on "Search".
4. Enter "airbrush" in the "Find pages containing:" text box
5. Press the "Enter" key or Click on the "Search" button
6. Below the "Search" button will be displayed a list of "Pages containing:
airbrush"
7. Click on the first entry "Creating airbrush effects (Photoshop)"
8. On the right side of the screen read the first two lines...

The Airbrush option in the Brushes palette lets you apply gradual tones to
an image, simulating traditional airbrush techniques.

Note: The Airbrush option in the Brushes palette corresponds to the Airbrush
option in the options bar.

Within about 20 seconds you would know where the Airbrush is located. A lot quicker than waiting for a response to a posting here.

Thanks folks for the quick info to get me going for now.
Purchasing this was a long-thought-out decision but made on the spur

the

moment in the end. I will certainly be getting some sort of book -- or
two.

Yes, I am finding that the brushes work differently. Opacity seems to require different settings, for example.

Its even better now as lots of things can have an airbrush effect.

I have just upgraded all of the way from 6 to 8 (CS). Where is my
faithful

air brush? It's not even in the Help files or the manual from what

can

see. I constantly use it in masking.

Thanks, Jasper

None of this stuff is covered in the manual??

No doubt it is, but air brush wasn't in the index for sure (well who knows -- it may have been under b rather than a), and I was sort of in

the

middle of a project and had a number of chores on the go at the same

time,

so I asked a quick question and got enough of an answer to tide me over

for

the time being. I will curl up with the manual when I can breathe a bit.

some ways it may seem like an odd time to make a switch, but I have

already

found the Shadows/Highlight adjustment helpful, so I'm not sorry that I

did.

For the last few ittertion of the PS manual, a lot has been omitted. Adobe assumes that everything important can be, and is, covered in the Online

Help

files. Trouble is, you have to know the exact conventions used to be able

use it effectively and quickly - case in point "it may have been under b rather than a). When one is on deadline, trying to navigate the Help files

not as easy as having a printed reference on hand and open to the subject. That is usually why I have at least one copy of the previous ver on the machine, so I can complete the work, then spend time over a few glasses of wine, learning the new ver. CS was the first new ver that I pressed into service out of the box, and kept saying a "thank you Adobe," when most of

the

interface worked like 7 did. Years ago, I had Layers on my newest ver 4?,

but

didn't get to them until I had completed three major projects. Now, each

those would have benefitted greatly from Layers, but there was just not

time

to explore and learn - it was all DO! Besides, the Upgrade CS Premium (or whatever it's officially named) does not ship with manuals. They are

available

for an additional purchase of ~US$ 60. To paraphrase almost everything in

the

PS CS manual - "See Help Files... "

For books (especially for the photographer using Photoshop), I'd also recommend Ben Willmore's "Photoshop CS Studio Techniques," Adobe Press.
