    Hi

    I am getting to grips with all this but one thing is still getting the better of me.

    I need to edit a jpg file which has text in it and I need to add my logo. The background is not a solid colour but more of a pattern. I can't find a way to do this.

    Anyone?

    If there is a PSD file, edit that for the JPG.

    If not your best bet is to try and tweak the JPG in Photoshop or kindly ask the clever graphics depot on here.

    They work wonders :)

    I have made some the changes to the PSD file and up[loaded it but it makes no difference to the site appearance.

    You would have to re-upload the JPG.

    The .PSD (Photoshop Document), Photoshop's native format, stores an image with support for most imaging options available in Photoshop. These include layers with masks, color spaces, ICC profiles, transparency, text, alpha channels and spot colors, clipping paths, and duotone settings. This is in contrast to many other file formats (e.g. .EPS or .GIF) that restrict content to provide streamlined, predictable functionality.

    WHEN YOU FINISH EDITING THE PSD FILE - You save for the web as a jpg, gif, png or what format you require and upload that file. Browsers IE, Opera, FF, etc can not interpret psd files, so the can not be displayed.

    Also consider that if you upload a file with a different name and/or extension then that of the original one, you will confuse the browser. A browser reads the code in the css/html files and executes that code as written. (they can not think for them selfs - yet) example original 123.jpg you call it 123revised.jpg or 123.jpg to 123.gif - just won't work.

    So if you do change the file name you will have to also change your code.

    Hi

    Thanks to both of you for your help.

    I did manage to eventually work out what was need so I am sorted for now. I am absolutely certain there will be other areas where I will be lacking knowledge so you will hear from me again.:)
