Are you on Mac OS X? This is a wild guess, but maybe try repairing permissions. If you’re not in the habit of repairing permissions, you need to do this daily, or, leave your computer running 24/7 so it’ll automatically do this nightly. https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1452
Also, try trashing your preferences, or try re-installing your version of Creative Suite – and, if you had prior installations, try doing a clean uninstall of prior versions…and before and after any install, repair permissions.

Build the static images in Photoshop using the same dimensions and pixel aspect ratio as your project. Save them as Targa or TIFF and try that.

I’d look into a variety of things such as: selecting the hair and creating a new layer, filling it with the brunette color you’re after, changing blending modes, masking areas if needed, dodging, burning, and possibly adding additional duplicate layers until you achieve the desired look. Adjust levels, curves, whatever until you get what you’re after. You’ll probably find it’ll be a combination of tools/filters/etc to get what you’re after and to make it look believable. One thing you can consider is to bring in a target image of the brunette hair look/color you’re after, so, as you’re editing, you have a reference to go by.

I use Lightroom which is great. Also take a look at Aperture from Apple.

What were your settings when you exported? 300dpi? 150 dpi? Try exporting something a little more common for printer/prepress such as a TIFF in CMYK mode (or Greyscale if this is a monchrome image).

Lots of layers! Create rough edge newspaper clipping rectangles and drop in text using similar fonts. Link the layers together and rotate accordingly. Add layer effects – drop shadow or an outer glow in black, multiply (my preference)to the newspaper clipping layer to give it depth.

Sounds like you’re doing everything right. Did you accidentally select inverse? Are you painting/filling with white accidentally? Is your airbrush set to normal? Start a new document and try again from scratch and see if the problem occurs again.

Hi Jane! What exactly is 2:35? Aspect ratio?
You said 1080i, that leads me to believe that it should be 1920×1080.
For your file format, it needs to be a format that holds an alpha channel so transparency will be preserved – so try something like PSD or PNG format.
