      Photoshop Manual - Steven Bright

      AUTHOR

      INTRODUCTION

      Photoshop is a raster graphics software application use to manipulate or retouch images, Graphics Designing, and Painting. The files created in Photoshop can be printed, optimized for use as web images or in multimedia presentations, digital images, and in creating animation projects.

      It has a lot of tools (as illustrated by the Photoshop Toolbox diagram under the chapter Photoshop Tools and their Functions) for different creative uses and also has the ability to interpolate with Adobe Illustrator through its Open command when you go to the File menu and click on Open and then navigate to the location of the Illustrator file and open it or by copying and pasting the Illustrator work into Photoshop.

      It is therefore a great tool for professional graphics designers, Photographers, and Paint work Artists. Although complex, it is also quite easy to understand and use once you put in the required interest and effort.

      To set Photoshop foreground color, click the foreground color button at the bottom of the Toolbox (as illustrated by the Toolbox diagram), click on the desired color and then click the OK button to set it as the foreground color. The process to set the background color is similar but this time you use the Background color button. You can also switch between the foreground and background colors by clicking the keyboard key X.

      There are many file formats in which you can output file from Photoshop but the most commonly used ones are listed below.

      Photoshop document (PSD) which is the default file format.

      Photoshop PDF (Portable Document Format).

      Image and Web Files (JPEG, GIF, PNG).

      It is good to introduce you to the major components of Photoshop’s workspace and this is illustrated by the diagram below.

      The main components of Photoshop workspace are listed and described here. Note that there are some other ones like the Minimize, Maximize, and the Close buttons as well as the drop-down menu list just before the Minimize button from where you select the type of Photoshop workspace you want that is (Essentials, Basic, Animation, Color and tone, Painting, Proofing, Typography, and Web).

      Menu Bar: This contains all Photoshop menus i.e. the File, Edit, Image, Layer, Select, Filter, View, Window, and the Help menus.

      Toolbox: This contains the list of all Photoshop tools and positioned at the right-hand of the workspace.

      Option Bar: This contains information about the properties of the active Photoshop tool.

      Dock Panel: This contains docked Photoshop layer and color tools.

      Document Window: This is the rectangular printable area of the workspace where you insert a new document and perform your tasks or create your designs.

      Color Management

      Photoshop complies with the different color formats recognized by computers and the three most important of these color schemes are described below.

      RGB color: This lists a value between 0 and 255 for each of the Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) components of a color. Note that (0, 0, 0); which means the absence of all colors, is completely black and (255, 255, 255); which means the presence of all colors, is completely white. RGB color model is suitable for digital works that is graphics not meant to
