    with
    Graphics
    and images
    Starting with Photoshop
    • Click the "Start" menu and go to the
    "Programs" folder. You will see an "Adobe"
    folder with "Photoshop" inside; click this icon.
    Photoshop Interface
    Photoshop Interface
    • The menu bar consists of nine menus:
    File, Edit, Image, Layer, Select, Filter,
    View, Window, and Help.
    The Toolbox
    • The toolbox contains many of the tools you
    will be working with in Photoshop. This
    contains tools for working with images in
    Photoshop.
    Understanding Layers
    • One of Photoshop’s most powerful
    features is the ability to create and
    use multiple layers within the same
    image. A layer is literally what it
    sounds like: one layer on top of
    another, all of which can be edited
    independently of each other and laid
    on top of or beneath one another,
    and then later combined to form a
    single, flat image.
    Understanding Layers
    • So what are all these options in the layers
    window?

    1. Paintbrush Symbol - This symbol (and the


    blue shading of the layer) notes the currently
    active layer

    2. Show / Hide Layer - When the eye icon is


    visible, the layer is displayed in your project. If
    the eye is clicked,
    then the layer is hidden but not deleted.
    Understanding Layers
    3. Link Icon - Indicates if the layer is
    currently linked to another layer.
    When linked, layers act “locked”
    together (and will move with each
    other, accordingly), but still remain
    separate layers. Layers can be linked
    together by selecting one layer, and
    then clicking the boxes in the other
    layers to display the “Link” icon
    (number three on the above list and
    image).
    Understanding Layers
    4. Background - The Background is
    technically not a layer, however, it
    can be edited. It is the
    bottom-most portion of the
    image.

    5. Layer - Each layer has its own


    name (default is by numbering). Click
    a layer’s name to edit on
    that layer.

    6. Text Layer - Adding text creates a


    new text-specific layer.
    Graphic File Formats
    • GIF: Graphics Interchange Format. Limited to 8 bit,
    256 colors. Used for large areas of uniform color.
    Lossless compression. 2/3rds compression: 96KB = 64KB.
    Can assign one color as transparent, can also use
    animation.
    • JPEG: Joint Photographers Experts Group. The
    best platform for photographic images; textures and
    gradations. Very small file size: 96KB = 32KB.
    • TIFF: Tagged Image File Format. High Quality (used
    mostly for print).
    • PSD: Photoshop’s native file format
    Creating an Image Archive
    • Be sure to maintain the original file.
    • It is best to create your graphics files
    in TIF PSD whenever possible. 
    – Then save the file as a JPEG or GIF
    format for web publishing.
    Image Resolution
    • The number of pixels in a
    linear inch (ppi) is called image
    resolution.
    – The more ppi, the higher
    the image resolution, and the
    larger the file size.
    • The standard screen
    resolution is 72 ppi.
    – Images used for the Web
    should have an image
    resolution of 72 ppi.
    Dimensions: 12 inches x 18 inches (portrait)
    18 inches x 12 inches (landscape)
