Introduction
Photoshop is one of the premier graphic software packages used by a lot of people. Here you
will find an introduction on what the Adobe graphic software is about and how you can use it for
your projects. You will be able to learn the secrets that can help you master this software so that
your projects will appeal to others.
Photoshop is not one of those software programs where you can easily start on your own. You
may want to take your time while using it because you don’t want to go too fast while learning
the ropes. You will learn how to add images, and other tips that you need to know in order to
become a professional in graphics.
There are so many things to do with this graphic software, but it’s important to know the basics
first before you start diving into more advanced features and functions. When you learn to do
one thing, you can move on to other tasks.
In order to get started, you must open the Photoshop software. You will see the Photoshop
desktop. Within the desktop, you will find the following categories: title bar, menu bar, options
bar, status bar, toolbox, image window and palettes.
Within the title bar, you will see the name of the software, along with the most recent name of
the file (if there is one). Each time a file is created, the extension will end with “.psdâ€.
The menu bar will have different commands to use for your file, such as edit, image, layer,
select, view). There are other commands, but the commands mentioned are some of the ones
that are used most often. You will find the options bar above the menus.
The toolbox bar has tools that are used for images that are in the graphics software. You can
only use one tool at a time. In order to activate it, you must click on the corresponding icon.
These tools are used for many of the Photoshop projects. Here are some brief details on the ones
that most people use:
· Hand – Dragged in order to move an image around.
· Move – To move a certain area, you must click and drag.
· Zoom – Zoom in and out by clicking or dragging.
· Crop – To do this, you must click and drag that certain area; to execute the crop, press
Enter; to cancel the crop, use the Escape key.
· Marquee – The selected images will be clicked and drug
· Type – Using the type tool, click the image where you want to include type.
· Brush – Used for painting brush strokes.
· Eraser – Gets rids of areas that have solid colors.
· Dodge – This tool is used for to lighten any picture wherever you select it.
· Burn – This tool is used to make certain areas on your image darker.
· Wand – This tool is used for colored areas. You can use it to select, erase, color or
adjust.
At one point or another, you will use these tools from the toolbox bar. They can help you when
you’re creating images, designs or other drawings. The more you use them, the easier it will be
for you to utilize them when the time comes. They can help to enhance the beauty of your work.
Palettes
You can use palettes to do different things with Photoshop. You can show or hide certain ones
by going to the window menu and selecting a palette name. Palettes are placed into different
groups.
For instance, one group would consist of layers, channels and paths. If you need to move a
palette group, you can do so by dragging the blue bar that is located at the top of the group. If
you want to shrink a palette group, click on the blue bar twice. Using the close box (“Xâ€), you
can hide a palette group if you wish.
The palettes have tabs and they can be moved around by dragging them. If you don’t want to do
that, then the palettes can be mixed into other groups. Or if you want to place them in a default
setting, you can do that also.
This graphics software also has rulers that you can use to see the measurements of your image.
You will be able to tell whether it’s too big or too small. If you want to change the size, click on
the ruler twice, or you can use the “Preferences†command. You can change the measurement
from pixels to inches.
Using the status bar, you will have information regarding the current file that you’re working on.
You will be able to view and use one of the tools. The status bar shows which tool that you have
chosen to work with.
