Question: Adobe photoshop help, Japanese print for backround layers?

I scanned some of my art into my computer and I am wondering how do you create layers that look like floral designs from a Kimono.

I make new-age Japanese art.

Answer: some designs art done with brushes you can make, some are vector art from illustrator designs, you can design these in photoshop with use of pen tool to draw lines, then convert to path and selection, save as psd files and convert to brushes if needed,

Question: Japanese Symbol Translation?

I Have 2 Kimonos With Japanese symbols On then Does Anybody Know Any Good websites To Help Translate Them?

Answer: Denshi jisho has the easiest kanji lookup. Just go to the "lookup by radicals" section and click on the different parts of the kanji that you see. It will give you a shorter and shorter list the more parts you click on until you can find the kanji in the list. Then click on the symbol to get the readings and meaning.
