Photoshop is a very known software for processing pictures
and such. Photoshop can be used for many things like editing photos, graphic
designs, and making illustrations and graphic stuff. Apart from that, photoshop
is used by laboratory forensicdocters and scientific research institutes for
cracking cases.
And now for the noobs, HOW TO OPEN THE PROGRAM
- You click the start button on the left bottom side(you can figure it out! i know you can! you n00b XD)
- Click on the photoshop CS4
- And ur done :D
Now you're probably going to end up with something like this....a bit -__-
without the picture and stuff ~__~
and let's talk about the panels and bars(?)
- Tools Panel
a panel with tools to 'manipulate' photos
- Option bar
you can set MANY settings for the tool ur using. The option bar changes if you use a different tool! WHAT SORCERY IS THIS D:
- Application bar
-cue LoZ get *name of item here*- ba da da daaa~ CONGRATULATION! You acquire a task bar upgrade! And it's called APPLICATION BAR! 8D So this thing here can find tools to set the display and such. And this thing can also ZOOM and PAN!
- Tabbed window document
So basically, you don't use the floaty floaty tab anymore, but you still can use it though. The tabs are now aligned like a tab on the internet ^_^
- MANY panels
panels filled with many commands/tools to 'manipulate' photos ^_^
- Workspace menu
through this menu, you can pick a workspace that fit ur needs ^_^
Now before we start talking about other stuff, let's learn about digital imaging!
photoshop-ing revolves around DIGITAL IMAGING. And DIGITAL IMAGING is like minecraft ^_^ all the square blocks, or in this case pixels and such! And PIXELS is a short term for Picture Element :D and HOW MUCH pixels are there in a pic is determined by the resolution =w= and it's usually counted by dpi as in dot per inch, and as they say 'THE MOAR THE MERRIER' the more pixels are in a pic, the better the quality ^_^ Nowadays, there is so much format for images like JPEG and such :/ yea so much, like Pokemons
well, not really THAT much...but still....
OKAY, now it's time to learn about....OPENING PICTURES!!!! Let me put it simple because i love my fingers =w= le file > le open > le choose pic > le open =w= see? it's easy! yes? now, if you wanna learn how to change the display of the 'tabbed windows' you can always change it back to the floaty floaty dwarf--i mean floaty floaty mode like this! le menu windows > le arrange > le all in windows :D
now if you feel comfortable with the new tabbed windows thingy, you can change it back by doing this! le menu windows > le arrange > le consolidate all to tabs
Well that's probably the basics of photoshop
SO...
sayonara~ =w= until we meet again in the afterlife---i mean next post ^_^
