1 Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard software for image editing. It is both very powerful and very complex. As you learn to master its complexity, you will discover that Photoshop is a magical program that should come with a warning label: Photoshop is too much fun. It will swallow your time. We tutorial authors have been teaching Photoshop both in-person and online since Originally our Photoshop students were predominantly graphics professionals who needed retraining in digital imaging both for printed publications and for the newly emerging World Wide Web. Now, with digital cameras becoming more and more prevalent and even embedded into cell phones Photoshop has become one of the most popular computer classes we teach. In addition to graphics professionals, our students range from high-school enrichment students, to web site developers, to serious hobbyists of all ages. Our students use Photoshop to: Edit photographs, especially those taken with a digital camera or digitized with a scanner. Photoshop becomes an electronic darkroom. On the left, you can see the original digital photograph of the Golden Gate Bridge, taken by Lorene Romero. The right side shows the same photograph, with a quick Photoshop edit. Adjust scanned or digital camera images for better screen display or printing. Photoshop lets you easily change the file format of graphical images to use as attachments, in Web pages, or in printed documents such as brochures and newsletters. Restore old and/or damaged photographs. The original 1921 photo, on the left, was scanned into Photoshop, restored, and colorized. Modify images or start from scratch to create original artwork. Photoshop becomes an electronic playroom both for painting with pixels as well as for working with scalable objects such as lines, shapes, and text. This cat face artwork was done by Nicholas Ogg. Because Photoshop is so complex, there are often several ways to accomplish the same task. To avoid overwhelming you with these variations, we typically guide you through a single method and introduce shortcuts later in the tutorial Barbara Heiman, Corrine Haverinen, and Donald Laird. Printing more than one copy, file duplication, or Internet publishing without prior written permission from the authors is prohibited. Page 1

2 Using PDF Tutorials These tutorials are presented in PDF (portable document format) as an online book or ebook. We have used the PDF format because it is legible on screen, fully searchable, and prints well if you choose to print the notes. To read the tutorials on screen, you will need either the latest version of the free, downloadable Adobe Reader for either Macintosh or Windows or the full Adobe Acrobat included in Creative Suite 3 to view and print the notes. Adobe Reader 8 has some special features for annotating screen documents not found in the earlier versions of Reader, so we recommend that you use Reader 8 if you don t have the full version of Acrobat. You can download either the Mac or Windows version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site at Viewing the Tutorials Onscreen Learn how to zoom in and out in the onscreen tutorial. That way you can look close up at the many screen images and examples we have included in the tutorials. Within Acrobat or Reader, Edit > Find will help you to locate specific information. This command works even better than an index type in the term or concept you want to learn about, and Find will help you locate that information. Donna Baker s tutorial, Communicating with Comments in Adobe Acrobat 8, will show you how to make annotations on your tutorial: Printing the Tutorials Many people like to print out some or all of the Tutorials. They print reasonably well in draft mode, on cheap paper, on a color ink jet printer or on a black and white laser printer. If you want to print individual pages, locate the Pages pane on the left side of the document. You can highlight an individual page, or a range of pages, and just print what you want. If you print the pages double-sided to save paper, there is enough room to hole-punch the side of each page to put them into a binder. Tutorial Guidelines At the beginning of each tutorial you will find an Objectives section so you know what you will accomplish by completing the tutorial. Graphics or computer terminology known as Key terms are set off in all caps when they are defined. Computer menu commands and keystrokes are set off in boldface. Using These Tutorials with Photoshop Photoshop menu commands often involve drilling down from a main menu to one or more submenus. We have used a greater-than sign (>) to show you the sequence to follow. Thus, Window > Workspace > Reset Palette Locations directs you to click first the Window menu, then the Workspace submenu, and finally the Reset Palette Locations command. Windows computers use computer mice with (at least) two mouse buttons. Many Macintosh users get a two-button mouse to make their systems more functional. If your mouse has two or more buttons, Click means to press and release the left mouse button. Right-click means to press and release the right mouse button. Drag means to press the (left) mouse button and keep it down as you move the mouse. Page 2

3 Press means to press one of the keys on the keyboard. Photoshop often uses modifier keys on the computer keyboard along with mouse clicks to extend the capabilities of those keys. Windows typically uses the ctrl, alt, and/or shift keys. Macintosh typically uses the command ( or ), option, ctrl, and/or shift keys. The plus sign (+) indicates when a modifier key is required. For example, you might alt + click (Windows) or option + click (Mac) to perform a particular function. When you use modifier keys, you are supposed to press the key(s) and click the mouse at the same time. Timing can be tricky. You may find it easier to first press the modifier key(s), then click or drag the mouse, and finally to release the mouse button before releasing the modifier key(s). The Photoshop Application Adobe produces two image-editing applications: Adobe Photoshop Elements and the full Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop Elements is a less expensive, consumer level graphics-editing application. It is terrific for simple image editing, but does not have nearly the range of capabilities as the full Photoshop application. Photoshop Elements offers a good training ground for moving into the professional application, as both applications use similar working environments and approaches to image production and editing. Adobe first acquired Photoshop in Since that time, there have been several improvements, called upgrades. The most current version of Photoshop, released in 2007, is Photoshop CS3 (technically Photoshop 10). We have prepared these notes for Photoshop CS3 not for earlier versions of Photoshop or for Photoshop Elements. CS stands for Creative Suite because you can either purchase Photoshop as a stand-alone application, or as part of a collection of graphics applications. Adobe Photoshop CS3 contains just the stand-alone Photoshop application, plus Adobe Bridge to help you manage your images. The Creative Suites bundle Photoshop with additional Adobe applications, depending on which suite you choose. You can get more information about which applications are bundled with the various suites on the Adobe Web site: If you are a student or educator, be sure to take advantage of Adobe s very generous academic pricing: Hardware and Software Requirements Photoshop works equally well on either Macintosh or Windows computers. Image editing requires lots of processing power, and Photoshop works much more swiftly on newer, faster computers. Before purchasing Photoshop, make sure that your computer hardware and software are adequate. To use Photoshop effectively, you will need a fast computer, a modern operating system, and enough RAM and hard disk space to manipulate your images as you edit and save them. And, of course, you will need the Photoshop application itself. Let s look at each of these requirements in more detail. 1. A fast, powerful computer with a current operating system: Macintosh PowerPC G4 or G5 or Intel based Macintosh processor Page 3

4 2. 3. Mac OS X v (Tiger) or 10.5 beta (no earlier cats) Windows Intel Pentium 4, Intel Centrino, Intel Xeon, or Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista (not Windows 2000 or ME) Enough RAM (random access memory) and hard disk space to manipulate your images as you edit and save them. These are the minimum requirements: 320MB of RAM (512MB recommended) 64MB of video RAM 1.5 GB of free, contiguous hard-disk space Additional requirements: At least 1024x768 monitor resolution with 16-bit video card DVD-ROM drive Internet or phone connection for product activation (but not for ongoing use) QuickTime 7 or higher software for multimedia features (free from Apple, works on both platforms. Creative Suite Requirements If you are installing one of the Creative Suite bundles, and not just Photoshop and Bridge, the hardware requirements are substantially greater. For either platform, you will need at least 1 GB of RAM, and between 5 and 6 GB of free, contiguous hard disk space. The specifics are listed on the Adobe Web site: Setting up your Monitor for Photoshop Computer monitors display patterns of colored square specks called pixels. Because those pixels are very small, we don t see them individually, but instead see the bigger picture. Monitor resolution measures how many pixels fill the screen horizontally and vertically. 640 x 480 means that the monitor shows a grid of 640 pixels across and 480 pixels down. When you increase the monitor resolution, everything on the screen becomes smaller so you can fit more things on it. Photoshop uses many items to help you edit images, and you will need to set your monitor resolution to at least 1024 x 768 pixels to see and use all those items. Color depth sets how many different colors your monitor can display. For most Photoshop images, your monitor should be set to millions of colors (also called 24-bit color they both mean the same thing) so that color images look like true photographs on your screen. Here is how to check your monitor resolution and change it if needed: Page 4

5 Windows 1. Close or minimize any open applications so that you can see your computer desktop. 2. Right-click any blank area on the desktop to reveal its context menu. 3. Choose Properties from that contextual menu to view the Display Properties dialog box. 4. Click the Settings tab. 5. Check your resolution and color settings. Color quality should be Highest (32 Bit), and Screen resolution should be at least 1024 x 768 pixels. 6. Click OK if you have changed settings, otherwise click Close. Macintosh 1. Choose Apple ( )> System Preferences. 2. In the Hardware group, click Displays. 3. Check your resolution and color settings, and change if necessary. Color should be millions of colors, and resolution should be at least 1024 x 768 (pixels). 4. Choose System Preferences > Quit System Preferences. Photoshop CS3 Installation There are two versions of Photoshop CS3, Standard and Extended. The extended version adds tools for editing 3D and motion-based content, and for performing image analysis. These tutorials focus on the standard version of CS3. Whether you install just Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3, or one of the Creative Suites, you will use your DVD drive to install the software. Once you place the (first) installation disk into your DVD drive, you will proceed with the on-screen prompts. A Few Tips Before You Begin If you are upgrading from a previous version of Photoshop, keep your serial number handy you will need it to complete the software installation. No Adobe applications or web browsers should be open on your computer as you install. If necessary, remove earlier versions of Photoshop and Bridge before you install CS3. You can run Photoshop CS3 on the same computer as earlier versions of Photoshop, Bridge, or Elements, if you so desire. However, those older versions take up valuable hard drive space, and you can get confused about which version of the software you have open. Unless you will need the older versions, Page 5

6 remove them before you install CS3. As the ImageReady application was not updated for CS3, you may wish to keep it installed unless you plan to replace it with Fireworks CS3 which is not part of the Photoshop product. Windows: Use the Adobe Photoshop Uninstaller in the Add or Remove Programs utility in Windows to remove Photoshop from the computer. If that does not work, you can uninstall manually using these instructions from Adobe: Macintosh: If you are lucky, there will be an uninstaller in the Applications > Utilities> Adobe Installers folder. You cannot uninstall by simply dragging the Creative Suite applications to the trash; instead, you must use the uninstaller. If you don t have the uninstaller, here are Adobe s non-automatic instructions: The removal process for Mac OS is not automatic as it is with Windows. You can remove Photoshop CS2 by dragging the following folders to the trash; however, Photoshop CS2 installs other components, such as its Help system, Adobe Bridge, and some common files. Delete the following Photoshop application folders and their contents: Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS2 Users/ [user name] /Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings Users/ [user name] /Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS2 Paths Activation & Deactivation Single-user licenses of Photoshop CS3 require that you activate the software online before using it for more than 30 days after its first use. According to Adobe, this is a simple, anonymous process. A single-user license allows you to place Photoshop CS3 onto two computers such as work and home, or a desktop and a laptop with the assumption that you will use Photoshop on only one machine at a time. If you want to install the software on an additional computer, you must first deactivate it on one of the original computers. Within the Photoshop application, choose Help > Deactivate. Checking for Free Updates The Creative Suite applications are quite complicated, and although Adobe works hard to make them perfect, problems sometimes arise. If Adobe can fix these problems, or add features that were not included in the shipped software, updates become available for download and installation. From within any of the Creative Suite applications, Help > Updates takes you online to the Adobe Updater to check your computer and see if any updates are available. If they are, you will be instructed to download and and install them. You probably will not be able to do this if you are working in a computer lab or network. Uninstalling Photoshop CS3 When you install your software, uninstallers are placed in your system. In Windows, the Add or Remove Programs control panel should allow you to unintall Photoshop or other Creative Suite applications. On the Mac, by default, the uninstallers are placed inside the Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers folder. Page 6

7 The Photoshop Settings File Application preferences are settings for window and palette locations, tools, dialog boxes, and color settings. Each time a tool, palette or command setting is changed, Photoshop saves the new configurations in the Adobe Photoshop Settings File on the computer s hard disk. Application Defaults are the original settings created when the program was first installed. As you learn Photoshop, you may want to restore these defaults each time you launch the program so that your working environment is consistent, and matches the environment described in these notes. You will learn to do this in the first guided exercise. Occasionally, the Adobe Photoshop Settings File becomes corrupted, and Photoshop works very slowly or otherwise misbehaves. Restoring the Adobe Photoshop Settings File will often solve these problems. To Restore the Adobe Photoshop Settings File 1. Check to be sure that Photoshop is not already open, and exit or quit the application if necessary If Photoshop is open, you will see its name on the Windows Taskbar, or its icon in the Mac OS X Dock with a triangle underneath it. Locate the Photoshop application icon in the Start menu (Windows) or the Applications folder (Mac) on your hard drive. Position your fingers just over the modifier keys, but do not press the keys. Windows : Ctrl+ Alt + Shift (capitalization matches the keyboards) Macintosh : command + option + shift The command key, lower right here, is the one with the Apple logo and the cloverleaf. The fn key is only found on laptops. 4. Start Photoshop and then immediately press the modifier keys and keep them pressed until you see this confirmation dialog box. If you don t see it, your keystroke timing was off. Quit or Exit Photoshop and try again. 5. Click Yes to delete the (old) Adobe Photoshop Settings File and replace it with the default settings file. 6. If you see a dialog box asking to configure your color settings, click No to retain the default color settings. Page 7
