  1. Why doesn't my special effects brushes work? I tried using Grayscale like they said, but nothing shows up on the page after I try using the brush. Why is that? 2. What does the sponge tool do? Thank You!!!

As for question 1: not sure what you mean "special effects" brush... As for question 2: the sponge tool changes the colour saturation of an area. If you're in greyscale, the sponge tool will increase or decrease the images contrast by shifting away from or towards the middle grey. it's part of the "toning tools" along with the Dodge and Burn tools.

Ooh thanks! "Special Effects" Brushes you can select when you pick what size brush you want by hitting the arror button... if that helps. lol

huuum, mine works in greyscale and RGB modes... though something trippy happens in INDEX mode... is it just that brush set that you're having trouble with??

Yes, just that set. It doesn't show up. I'll have it set on black or purple, and it wont' show up.
