I am used to PSP & I am trying to teach myself to use PS CS2, & there are still a few things I cannot work out in PS, that are really easy in PSP & it is pain having to jump between the programmes.

1. In PSP if I select something with their equivalent of the lasso tool, I can then right click it & choose "promote selection to layer" & then a copy of what I have selected is on a new layer by itself - How do I do this in PS?

2. Colourise - in PSP if I want to change the colour of something, I either use the colourise button, or the "change to target" brush - where the item is colourised to whatever colour is selected in your colour palette - basically how do you colourise in PS?

3. If I have 2 images open & they both have alpha channels, in PSP, whatever image I am working on you can uses the alpha selections of any image open - can I do this in PS & how?

They are the basic things that are frustrating me at the moment. I just wish PS wouldn't make things so hard to find LOL

Thanks
