Canvas Size: Image MenuChanges the size of the page (canvas) on which the image sits. When increasing the

size of the canvas, Photoshop lls the new area outside the image with the back-

ground color. If the canvas is made smaller than the original image, Photoshop

crops the image.

Channels: Window MenuChannels separates an image into its component parts so that an effect or lter can

be applied to one of the colors in the image. The number and colors of the chan-

nels changes with the Mode you are using. If working in RGB, the channels

are Red, Green, and Blue. If working in CYMK, the channels are Cyan, Yellow,

Magenta, and Black.

Character Options:

Clone Tool: Options underWindow Menu (Clone Source)The Clone tool "copies" portions of an image to a new place in the same image or a

different image. Used to creates special effects or covers unwanted areas.

To clone an area, select Clone tool and make sure (Aligned) is checked on the Op-

tions bar. Hold down the Option key and click in the area to be cloned. Move

to the area in the original le, or a different le, where the clone image is to be

placed, hold down the mouse button and drag over the area.

When using the Clone Tool, Photoshop displays a cross-hair in the area of the clone

source, the area that you are cloning from, that tracks with the stamp cursor.

If you want to clone multiple times from a single location, then choose Clone (Non-

Aligned) from the Options bar.

Under the Window Menu, you can select Clone Source (See image to left). On this

panel, you have the option of choosing the way in which the clone tool selects

the area to clone.

background colors are displayed. Click on these selects which is changed. A

double outline surrounds the block showing it is selected. Drag the little slider

bar triangles under the color ranges to change the color. These vary with thecurrent mode (RGB, CYMK, Grayscale, etc.).

Magic Eraser:Erases (changes to transparent) the range of colors dened by the number set in the

Tolerance window at the top of the Photoshop screen. Tolerance sets the range

of colors removed. Selecting Contiguous on the options bar will limit the se-

lection to colors touching the pixel selected by the eraser, rather than selecting

across the whole image.

Eyedropper Tool:Clicking in a image with the Eyedropper Tool selects a color to replace the fore-

ground or background color.

File Bridge: Upper Right on Option BarsThe File Bridge allows examination of les on a disk, the harddrive, or other acces-

channel (see Channels).

Gradient Tool:To apply a gradient, use a selection tool to select the portion of the image to receive

the gradient. Select the gradient tool and then the type of gradient from the

option bar . There are default gradients that can select or gradi-

ents can be customized (see the image to the left). Click, hold, and drag your

mouse across the area selected for the gradient. The starting point and direc-

tion of this dragged line effects the way the gradient is added.

levels:Adjusts the range of a color, from light to dark, or the whole image. SelectChannel at the top of the Levels Panel (varies with the mode you are using). Se-

lect the specic color that you wish to affect. Use the slider bar, beneath the his-

togram, which provides three triangles, one each for the darkest, medium, and

lightest pixels. The sliders on this bar can be moved to adjust color/s in these

ranges. Photo filter: Applies the equivalent of camera lters to images.

Posterize: Reduces the number of colors in an image. The lower the setting, thesmaller the number of colors. Seven or less colors are best.

Brightness also can be controlled through this dialogue box. Saturation con-

trol is similar to Color variations, with the ability to saturate or desaturate the

concentration of colors from a ne amount to a course amount. The use of this

command is fairly self explanatory and easy to use.

Image Size: Image MenuIn this dialogue box, make sure Proportions Constraint is selected before making

changing to the image size. This ensures that no distortion occurs. If the File

Size constraint is selected, width, height, and resolution are linked together. If

not selected, manually enter the resolution. The higher the resolution the largerthe le size. NOTE: Sometimes it is better to use Scale (under Edit>Transform)

to rescale an image.

the Layers Palette. The active layer is Light Blue.

To hide a layer, click on the eyeball icon in front of the layer name. To display the

ing Text. The example to the Left, shows the Layer Palette and associated image

which has Text and a Drop Shadow added.

Layer Styles: Layer MenuApplies special effects to text, and selected areas of an image.

Magic Wand:Select the wand tool and click inside the image on a color or area. Photoshop selects

the area of continuous color that surrounds where you clicked. You can modify

the performance of the magic wand by using the options at the top of the screen.

There are three options- Anti-aliased, Tolerance, and Sample Merged (dont

worry about this last one). Anti-aliased softens the edges around the unselected

area, Tolerance instructs the wand to select fewer colors or more colors within the

selected color range.

Marquee and Lasso Tools:The marquee and Lasso tools allows the user to select portions of the image

to be edited. The Lasso can be used to select complicated shapes.

On Option Bar:Normal Select Remove from Selection

Scale provides 256 shade of gray.- Index provides 256 colors and is used by GIF Images.- RGB is used by monitors and provides millions of colors.- CYMK is standard in printing and provides thousands of colors.- Duotone 1-4 colors blends.

Navigator: Window Menu:Allows you to zoom and pan through a panel that shows a thumbnail view of the

total image.

Paint Bucket Tool:Lets the user ll an area of continuous color by clicking on it. In other words, it lls

one selected color with another. Like the magic wand, you set the Tolerancevalue and Anti-aliased is turned on. Another option you might consider is the

Fill command under the Edit Menu.

Paintbrush Tools: Airbrush ModeOption Bar

The pop-up menu in the upper left corner of the option bar provides access to thebrush styles. The Opacity slider controls the translucency of the foreground

color. A setting of 100 percent ensures that the paint is opaque, completely cov-

ering the colors underneath. When the Airbrush is selected the Opacity slider

bar changes to a Pressure slider bar and adjusting this bar varies the amount

of paint applied by the airbrush. Airbrush acts like a spray can. The longer you

hold the mouse button down over an area, the more paint is applied.

Pen Tools:The Pen tools allow you to create a path that can then be saved and changed to

a selection. Since paths can be saved, the same area can be reselected with-out having to dene the area more than once. NOTE: Selections can also be

changed to a path by rst making it a work path and then saving it through

the Path Options Dialogue box.

Pencil Tool:Draws aliased (jagged) lines which can be set to different widths. The Auto Erase

option for the Pencil tool lets you paint the background color over areas con-

taining the foreground color. It is very useful in making touch-ups with the

single-pixel brush.
