Copyright Conundrum

Dear Debbie,

I get into trouble on step 2 of the June issue Cheat Sheet: Copyright Ready. When I try to make the Circle C by holding down the Alt key and typing 0169, nothing happens on my screen! I have successfully made the brush with my name, etc., but cannot get the Circle C! Is there something wrong with me?

Sincerely,

RAWs in a Batch?

Dear Debbie,

I have a bunch of RAW files that I want to e-mail as small JPEGs. Normally I’d make an Action and batch process the images, but I can’t do that with RAW files. Help!

Thanks for your help,

What's Wrong With Brightness/Contrast, Anyway?

Dear Debbie,

Photoshop “experts” are always telling me not to use the Brightness/Contrast sliders, but they seem to work fine to me. What gives?

All the best,
