I can't upload my advertisement. It says that my image is corrupt and I have saved it as a tiff image to try to compress it. Nothing is working.

Photoshop Frustration

I have had many frustrations with myself over photoshop. I really like the program but until I understand it, I believe I will continue to be frustrated. To help with my frustration I watch the tutorials suggested on the assignments. I have also put time aside to fully discover photoshop. I have this conspiracy that computers really don't like me, and it's not mine or the program's fault.
