The Photoshop symbol indicates a slice. Your image is one slice by default. You should also see a blue outline around the image. If you're not dividing your image up into slices then the indicator is irrelevant.

You'll find what you need under View -> Show -> Slices. You can turn it off there.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Generic inks


  Hi everyone,

  I've been away for awhile and it's good to be back. I recently had 
  twelve images hanging in a group show. Priced them at $225 for 16x20 
  and 20x20 framed and sold 7 of them. Yippee.

  I am in transition between permanent dwellings and thus have not yet 
  set up a CIS but plan to soon. In the meantime I found a place in 
  South Carolina called The Ink Warehouse that sells generic inks for 
  Epson printers. They have a two cartridge combo (b/w & color) for the 
  1280 for $12.95.

  Is this too good to be true? Has anyone tried any of these inks and 
  are they as good as the Epson brand? Clogging or fading issues?
  I'm wondering if, like generic advils, and cough medicines etc that a 
  generic ink could be just as good as the brand name. If so has anyone 
  tried the ones from this company or is there another company that you 
  would recommend?

  Also a quick photoshop question if you will indulge me. Somehow I 
  must have pushed a button or something but I'm suddenly getting a 
  little icon in upper left corner of my working images. It is an  "01" 
  with a little rectangle next to it. It is small and doesn't print but 
  it's annoying and does cover a little of the work space that I 
  sometimes need to access. What is this thing and how do I get rid of 
  it? Thanks for your help.

  Thanks also to those of you who encouraged me to keep the Wacom 
  tablet when I threatened to return it out of frustration. I stuck 
  with it and I absolutely LOVE it! Thanks guys.

  Tim (good to be back)

Hi Tim, good to 'see' you again! Congrats on the sales - get those prices
up! As to inks - you'll need new profiles, and you'd need to test fade data.
I'm using some generic dyes for proofing that I got from Mwords that work
well, so I'd try it and getsome tests done.

Julian
