INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOSHOP

In your main project folder create 3 folders: input, working, output

 

- Top menus 

- Option menus 

- Tool Box / Tool Bar 

- Palettes 

NAVIGATION 

To increase the view size of the image hold apple and press + (plus) to zoom in and - (minus) to zoom out. Area in view represented with a red box in the Navigator palette. 

SIZE - to adjust the size and resolution of the image (image>image size) 

*300 ppi resolution for print 

*72 ppi resolution for web 

Change size of image in inches to approximate the original file size of the image. 

MODE - to adjust the image colors for print or for web, you can choose different color formats. RGB colors for TV & web. CMYK colors for printing. Grayscale for B&W. 

LEVELS - to adjust bright, dark and medium values of the image (apple L or Image>Adjustments>Levels) 

HUE - to adjust the hue and saturation on the image. No saturation=B&W image (apple U or image>Adjustments>hue/saturation) 

VARIATIONS - allows to adjust shadows, midtones, highlights and saturation by adding CMYK colors each one (image>adjustments>Variations…)  

SELECTING - use the selecting tool (M) in 2 styles square and circular. By holding SHIFT down while making a circle it will make a proportional circle. This tool is also called Marquee tool. 

LASSO - there are 3 types of lasso - Regular Lasso, Polygonal Lasso and Magnetic Lasso. You can adjust the sensitivity (edge contrast) and the frequency of the anchor points in the Magnetic Lasso. 

FEATHERING - for soft edges you can adjust the softness by increasing the number of pixels. 

CROP - in tool box allows you to cut a selected section of the image 

LAYERS PALETTE - the option menu for the layers palette in on the right top corner and is a small circle with an arrow in the center. A menu opens that allows you to create new layers, duplicate layers, merge layers, create folders (group) and more.

FILTERS - they are under filters at the top menu. 

MASKING - it's in the layer pallet at the bottom. Masking can be a little tricky, so you can check this site bellow - it has a step by step sample of the same effects we saw in-class. http://www.larry-bolch.com/mask-intro/
