It does provide a lot of information for beginners. I love this book. First of all, I have no experience with Photoshop. This book gets down to the basics without a lot of theory. Each exercise is challenging and very interesting. You could pay a learning center thousands of dollars to learn Photoshop and not learn as much as you will from this book. It is great. The book spends more time on telling you how to do the projects the difficult way instead of telling you the short cuts and more logical way to use Photoshop.
Many instances of material not matching the Adobe Photoshop Program. If you want to learn to use Photoshop get a better book, use YouTube and Google. For the record, I've never used Photoshop in the past. However this book has been really great at showing me the basics steps by step. I've been taking an online course in a local college and this books has been a great teacher. The only drawback backs i found were - The images in the book are really small and In October Photoshop CC got an update which changed some of the functionality.
Either way, great book. One person found this helpful. All the other information is invaluable. The media could not be loaded. I'm an intermediate PS user and this book really helped me with a lot of stuff I wasn't clear on.
I love the exercises and the images you can download and work on with each exercise. I also use the index a lot when I need help with a specific item. Definitely recommend!! See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. A disappointment. Mar 18, Claire rated it it was amazing Shelves: reference-how-to , nonfiction. This is the correct version of the book I read though the author is mis-attributed as you can see if you enlarge the cover. It was written by Lesa Snider. The book is not a complete reference on everything in Lightroom or in Photoshop, rather its focus is on how the programs work together, what tasks are best suited to each and how to pass files back and forth while maintaining the highest image quality.
I went into this with a good understanding of Photoshop and a fair understanding of Lightroom, This is the correct version of the book I read though the author is mis-attributed as you can see if you enlarge the cover. I went into this with a good understanding of Photoshop and a fair understanding of Lightroom, so I found working through the lessons with the practice files very helpful.
There are definitely sections I will revisit as the need arises. To get the most out of this book, you really need to do the exercises, not just read them.

Options bar C. Tools panel D. Workspaces menu E. Panels On Mac OS, the application frame keeps the image, panels, and menu bar together. The arrangement is similar on Windows, but operating system styles may vary. The default workspace in Photoshop consists of the menu bar and options bar at the top of the screen, the Tools panel on the left, and several open panels in the panel dock on the right.
When you have documents open, one or more image windows also appear, and you can display them at the same time using the tabbed interface. There is one main difference between the Photoshop work area on Windows and that on Mac OS: Windows always presents Photoshop in a contained window. Select the 01End. The 01End. The end files in this book show you what you are creating in each project. Do not close Photoshop. Using the tools Photoshop provides an integrated set of tools for producing sophisticated graphics for print, web, and mobile viewing.
We could easily fill the entire book with details on the wealth of Photoshop tools and tool configurations. Every lesson will introduce you to more tools and ways to use them. Selecting and using a tool from the Tools panel The Tools panel is the long, narrow panel on the far left side of the work area.
It contains selection tools, painting and editing tools, foreground- and background-color selection boxes, and viewing tools. The 01Start. Click the double arrows just above the Tools panel to toggle to a double-column view.
Click the double arrows again to return to a single-column Tools panel and use your screen space more efficiently. Examine the status bar at the bottom of the work area Windows or image window Mac OS , and notice the percentage that appears on the far left. This represents the current enlargement view of the image, or zoom level. Move the pointer over the Tools panel, and hover it over the magnifying-glass icon until a tool tip appears.
Click the Zoom tool icon in the Tools panel, or press Z to select it. Move the pointer over the image window. The pointer now looks like a tiny magnifying glass with a plus sign in the center of the glass. Click anywhere in the image window. The image enlarges to a preset percentage level, which replaces the previous value in the status bar. Hold down the Alt key Windows or Option key Mac OS so that the Zoom tool pointer appears with a minus sign in the center of the magnifying glass , and then click anywhere in the image.
Then release the Alt or Option key. Now the view zooms out to a lower preset magnification, so that you can see more of the image, but in less detail.
If Scrubby Zoom is selected in the options bar, click anywhere on the image and drag the Zoom tool to the right. The image enlarges. Drag the Zoom tool to the left to zoom out. When Scrubby Zoom is selected, you can drag the Zoom tool across the image to zoom in and out. Note You can use other methods to zoom in and out. For example, when the Zoom tool is selected, you can select the Zoom In or Zoom Out mode on the options bar. Or, you can type a new percentage in the status bar and press Enter or Return.
Then, using the Zoom tool, drag a rectangle to enclose part of the rose blossom. The image enlarges so that the area you enclosed in your rectangle now fills the entire image window.
Click Fit Screen in the options bar to see the entire image again. You have used the Zoom tool in four different ways to change the magnification in the image window: clicking, holding down a keyboard modifier while clicking, dragging to zoom in and out, and dragging to define a magnification area. Many of the other tools in the Tools panel can be used with keyboard combinations and options as well.
Zooming and scrolling with the Navigator panel The Navigator panel is another speedy way to make large changes in the zoom level, especially when the exact percentage of magnification is unimportant.
The slider under the image thumbnail in the Navigator panel enlarges the image when you drag to the right toward the large mountain icon and reduces it when you drag to the left. The red rectangular outline represents the area of the image that appears in the image window. When you zoom in far enough that the image window shows only part of the image, you can drag the red outline around the thumbnail area to see other areas of the image.
In the Layers panel, on the right side of the workspace, make sure the Rose layer is selected. In the Properties panel, move the Brightness slider to 98 and the Contrast slider to The image of the rose brightens.
There is no right or wrong setting; the values you should use depend on the results you want. Adjustment layers let you make changes to your image, such as adjusting the brightness of the rose, without affecting the actual pixels. Layering is one of the fundamental and most powerful features in Photoshop.
Click the double arrows at the top of the Properties panel to close it. Saving the file with a different name ensures that the original file 01Start. That way, you can return to it if you want to start over. Your image is bright and punchy and ready for a birthday card. Sampling a color By default, the foreground color in Photoshop is black and the background color is white.
You can change the foreground and background colors in several ways. One way is to use the Eyedropper tool to sample a color from the image. In the Layers panel, click the Visibility column for the Ribbons layer to make the layer visible. When a layer is visible, an eye icon appears in that column. Select the Eyedropper tool in the Tools panel. Click the blue area in the Happy Birthday ribbon to sample a blue color.
The foreground color changes in the Tools panel and the Color panel. Anything you draw will be this color until you change the foreground color again.
Working with tools and tool properties When you selected the Zoom tool in the previous exercise, you saw that the options bar provided ways for you to change the view of the current image window. Using context menus Context menus are short menus that contain commands and options appropriate to specific elements in the work area.
Usually, the commands on a context menu are also available in some other area of the user interface, but using the context menu can save time. Select the Zoom tool , and zoom in so you can clearly see the lower third of the card.
Select the Rectangular Marquee tool in the Tools panel. The Rectangular Marquee tool selects rectangular areas. See the illustration below. As you drag the tool, Photoshop displays the width and height of the selected area. Selection areas are shown by moving dotted lines, sometimes referred to as marching ants.
Select the Brush tool in the Tools panel. In the image window, right-click Windows or Control-click Mac OS anywhere in the image to open the Brush tool context menu. Context menus vary with their context, of course, so what appears can be a menu of commands or a panel-like set of options, which is what happens in this case.
Select the first brush Soft Round , and change the size to 65 pixels. Click anywhere outside the selection to close the panel. Note Clicking anywhere in the work area closes the context menu. The selection is gone, but the blue bar remains.
Selecting and using a hidden tool Photoshop has many tools you can use to edit image files, but you will probably work with only a few of them at a time. The Tools panel arranges some of the tools in groups, with only one tool shown for each group. The other tools in the group are hidden behind that tool. A small triangle in the lower right corner of a button is your clue that other tools are available but hidden under that tool.
Position the pointer over the third tool from the top in the Tools panel until the tool tip appears. The tool tip identifies the Lasso tool , with the keyboard shortcut L. Select the Lasso tool. With the Lasso tool, you can draw free-form selections; the Polygonal Lasso tool makes it easier to draw straight-edged sections of a selection border. Move the pointer over the left edge of the blue color bar that you just painted.
Click just to the left of the upper left corner of the bar to start your selection. You should begin your selection just outside the colored area. Click just to the left of the bottom left corner of the bar to create the second side of the triangle. Click the point where you started to finish the triangle. Press the Delete key on your keyboard to delete the selected area from the colored bar, creating a notch for your ribbon.
The ribbon is ready. Now you can add a name to your birthday card. In the Tools panel, select the Horizontal Type tool. The buttons and menus in the options bar now relate to the Type tool. In the options bar, select a font you like from the first pop-up menu. We used Minion Pro Italic, but you can use another font if you prefer. Specify 32 pt for the font size. You can specify 32 points by typing directly in the font-size text box and pressing Enter or Return, or by scrubbing the font-size menu label.
You can also choose a standard font size from the font-size pop-up menu. Click once anywhere on the left side of the colored bar, and type Elaine. Or you can type a different name, if you like. The text is the same color as the bar you typed it on. Alt-dragging Windows or Option- dragging Mac OS changes the values in smaller increments; Shift-dragging changes them in larger increments. Using panels and panel menus The text color is the same as the Foreground Color swatch in the Tools panel, which is the blue color you used to paint the bar.
Make sure the Horizontal Type tool is selected in the Tools panel. Drag the Horizontal Type tool across the text to select the full name. Select any light-colored swatch. We chose pastel yellow.
Note When you move the pointer over the swatches, it temporarily changes into an eyedropper. Set the tip of the eyedropper on the swatch you want, and click to select it. The color you select appears in three places: as the Foreground Color in the Tools panel, in the text color swatch in the options bar, and in the text you selected in the image window.
Select another tool in the Tools panel, such as the Move tool , to deselect the text so that you can see the text color. Click the menu button on the Swatches panel to open the panel menu, and choose Small List. Select the Type tool and reselect the text, as you did in steps 1 and 2.
In the Swatches panel, scroll about halfway down the list to find the Light Yellow Orange swatch, and then select it.
Select the Move tool again to deselect the text. Now the text appears in the orange color. Typing V will add the letter to your text in the image window. You can experiment freely, knowing that you can reverse the process. Even beginning computer users quickly come to appreciate the familiar Undo command. The name returns to its previous color. The Undo command in Photoshop reverses only one step. This is a practicality, because Photoshop files can be very large, and maintaining multiple Undo steps can tie up a lot of memory, which tends to degrade performance.
However, you can often use the Step Backward and Step Forward commands in the Edit menu to move through multiple steps. Save the file. Your birthday card is done! More about panels and panel locations Photoshop panels are powerful and varied. Rarely would you need to see all panels simultaneously.
The complete list of panels appears in the Window menu. Check marks appear next to the names of the panels that are open and active in their panel groups. You can open a closed panel or close an open one by selecting the panel name in the Window menu. You can hide all panels at once—including the options bar and Tools panel—by pressing the Tab key. To reopen them, press Tab again. Note When panels are hidden, a thin, semitransparent strip is visible at the edge of the document.
Hovering the pointer over the strip displays its contents. You already used panels in the panel dock when you used the Layers and Swatches panels. You can drag panels to or from the panel dock. This is convenient for bulky panels or ones that you use only occasionally but want to keep handy. To expand a panel, click its icon or the double arrow. You can also pull the lower right corner in or out. Note You can collapse, but not resize, the Character and Paragraph panels.
Double-click again to restore it to the expanded view. You can open the panel menu even when the panel is collapsed. Notice that the tabs for the panels in the panel group and the button for the panel menu remain visible after you collapse a panel. You can move the options bar to another location by dragging the grab bar at the far left end of the panel.
Changing interface settings By default, the panels, dialog boxes, and background in Photoshop are dark. You can lighten the interface or make other changes in the Photoshop Preferences dialog box: 1. Select a different color theme, or make other changes. When you select a different theme, you can see the changes immediately.
You can also select specific colors for different screen modes and change other interface settings in this dialog box. Review questions 1. Describe two types of images you can open in Photoshop. How do you select tools in Photoshop? Describe two ways to zoom in to or out from an image.
What are two ways to get more information about Photoshop? Review answers 1. You can scan a photograph, transparency, negative, or graphic into the program; capture a digital video image; or import artwork created in a drawing program. You can also import digital photos. A selected tool remains active until you select a different tool.
To select a hidden tool, either use a keyboard shortcut to toggle through the tools, or click and hold the tool in the Tools panel to open a pop-up menu of the hidden tools. Choose commands from the View menu to zoom in on or out from an image, or to fit it onscreen, or use the zoom tools and click or drag over an image to enlarge or reduce the view.
You can also use keyboard shortcuts or the Navigator panel to control the display of an image. The Photoshop Help system includes full information about Photoshop features plus keyboard shortcuts, task-based topics, and illustrations.
Creative Cloud Learn provides inspiration, key techniques, cross-product workflows, and updates on new features. This lesson steps you through the process of acquiring, resizing, and retouching a vintage photograph. For many images, you may need only to change the resolution, lighten the image, or repair a minor blemish.
For others, you may need to perform several tasks and employ more advanced filters. Note In this lesson, you retouch an image using only Photoshop. For other images, it may be more efficient to work in Adobe Camera Raw, which is installed with Photoshop. Likewise, sharpening should usually be your final step.
For the other tasks, consider your project and plan accordingly, so that the results of one process do not cause unintended changes to other aspects of the image, making it necessary for you to redo some of your work. Whether an image is intended for black-and-white publication on newsprint or for full-color online distribution affects everything from the resolution of the initial scan to the type of tonal range and color correction that the image requires.
Photoshop supports the CMYK color mode for preparing an image to be printed using process colors, as well as RGB and other color modes for web and mobile authoring.
Resolution and image size The first step in retouching a photograph in Photoshop is to make sure that the image has an appropriate resolution.
The term resolution refers to the number of small squares, known as pixels, that describe an image and establish its detail. Resolution is determined by pixel dimensions, or the number of pixels along the width and height of an image. Pixels in a photographic image Note To determine the necessary image resolution for a photograph you plan to print, follow the computer-graphics rule of thumb for color or grayscale images intended for print on large commercial printers: Scan at a resolution 1.
In computer graphics, there are different types of resolution: The number of pixels per unit of length in an image is called the image resolution, usually measured in pixels per inch ppi. An image with a high resolution has more pixels and therefore a larger file size than an image of the same dimensions with a low resolution. Images in Photoshop can vary from high resolution ppi or higher to low resolution 72 ppi or 96 ppi.
Unless the resolution of your image is exactly the same as the resolution of the monitor, the image size in inches, for example onscreen may be larger or smaller than the image size will be when printed. The number of pixels per unit of length on a monitor is the monitor resolution, also usually measured in pixels per inch ppi.
Image pixels are translated directly into monitor pixels. In Photoshop, if the image resolution is higher than the monitor resolution, the image appears larger onscreen than its specified print dimensions. The number of ink dots per inch dpi produced by a platesetter or laser printer is the printer, or output, resolution. Higher resolution images output to higher resolution printers generally produce the best quality.
The appropriate resolution for a printed image is determined both by the printer resolution and by the screen frequency, or lines per inch lpi , of the halftone screens used to reproduce images. Keep in mind that the higher the image resolution, the larger the file size, and the longer the file will take to print or to download from the web. For more information on resolution and image size, see Photoshop Help. You may make copies of these files and save them under different names or locations, or you may work from the original start files and then download them from the peachpit.
In Lesson 1, you used the Open command to open a file. For more information, see page 3. Adobe Bridge opens, displaying a collection of panels, menus, and buttons.
