Tablet questions..

I know some of us have tablets for drawing, and I have a few questions to ask you guys...
I just got a new tablet for my computer *Which is Windows Vista*...

I was wondering if the screen on the tablet is supposed to remain black?
And also a quick photoshop question: I barely know anything about photoshop but the version I have Photoshop Elemetns 6.0...Its different then what my friend has. And its really confusing because it doesnt show layers like a normal photoshop does.

 

Do you have a Wacom?

If you do, the screen's meant to stay black. It takes a bit to get used to.

 

Yes, I do. And thats very hard to draw with Dx.....
Thank you for saying this though

 

No problem, and don't worry, you'll get used to it xD

 

>.< Mmmk.....
Thank you

 

Since your tablet question's been answered, let me try the Photoshop one. I have Elements 4.0 along with CS2 as a regular Photoshop. I'm confused as to what you mean by "layers" not showing. I keep thinking you mean channels, not layers, because you can make new layers on top of the other ones. And that's a default function thingy in Photoshop: both types do that. Only Elements doesn't show channels.

 

You might not have the layers dialog open. Try going into the "Windows" menu, and selecting Layers.

I got it to work ^-^
