SD // //2. //// How to create a new document /change the size/dimensions? SD //// 3 //// How to save the document? Go to file: click save and then name it, or you could do the combination control s which saves the document automatically. // //4 //// How to save a copy and when to do so? // //To save a copy go to file: save as and then rename it. You should save a copy when you edit your image so you have the original document just in case you would like to change something and need the original photo. // //5 // // Document size and its affect on usage (web vs. print?) DD // //If the document or picture file is at a large size some web sites won’t use it because it won’t fit on the web pages, or it will take up most of the space on the web site. ////The most common number used to is 72 for web size. ////<span style="color: #5f497a; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Also if you are going to print a picture that you need to be a larger file size make sure it is in the highest quality so that it won’t be pixilated when it prints. ////<span style="color: #d99594; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The most common sizes used are from 300 pixels and up for printing your image // //6 How to resize an image? DN// <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">After you open an image in photoshop, click on ‘image’ at the top of the screen. On the dropdown menu click ‘Image size’ or you can use the keyboard shortcut, Alt+ctrl+I. Make sure that the constrain proportions option is selected, unless you want your image distorted. Under ‘document size’ you can change the height, width, and resolution of an image. //7 How to copy/paste/and cut? DN// Use any selection tool, click and drag to select an area. There are cut, copy, and paste options under the ‘edit’ option at the top of the screen or you can use the keyboard shortcuts to copy, paste, or cut. Ctrl+C copies, Ctrl+V pastes, and Ctrl+X cuts. //8 How to transform/rotate/and skew? DL// <span style="color: #f54242; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Answer: There are a few ways of performing each function. First, we’ll try transform. The first way of using the transform function is by selecting a portion on your image, and hitting CTRL+T. That’s the easiest way, but it can also be done by going up to the top under “Select.” Then hit “Transform Selection.” You will be allowed to stretch your selected portion whichever way you do it. You can also select a portion, right click, and hit “Free Transform” (or “Transform Selection”; they’re the same thing) to transform your portion. The most efficient way to transform is by hitting “Edit” at the top, and selecting “Transform” (right under “Free Transform”). From there, you can select different ways of transforming. Scale: Stretches the portion. Rotate: Rotates the portion. The portion rotates around the target in the middle, however the target can be moved anywhere around the screen to get different rotation results. Under Edit -> Transform, an image can be rotated in certain directions. You can also go under “Image” and then hit “Image Rotation” to get the same result. Skew: Changes the position of any angle of the selected portion. This will also cause the interfering sides to change location, but all the other sides will remain unchanged, unlike scale which causes the parallel side to also change. Skew itself means that the image is not facing directly at you. Distort: Changes the length of any side of the selected portion. This will also cause the interfering sides to change location. Perspective: Authorizes user to change the size of any side. This will cause the interfering sides to change length too. For an example, if you had a rectangle, and you use the perspective function to change the length, the rectangle will turn into a trapezoid, and the portion you selected will be skewed. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Warp: Probably the best function. It’s so lenient with what you can do, it’s hard to explain. Warp allows you to turn a picture around, and skew it any way you want to. //9 How to step forward/backward/undo? DL// Answer: The forward and backward options allow you to go to different commands that were used. Going “backward” under ALT+CTRL+Z (Or __Edit -> Step Backward__), allows you to go back to the last confirmed action. Undoing an image, by pressing CTRL-Z, reverts back to the last updated page before Step Backward was ever used. Going forward (SHIFT+CTRL+Z or __Edit -> Step Forward__) obviously allows you to go to the action performed after. For an example, if I performed a rotation translation, then a warp translation, and then a skew translation, going backward would undo to when the warp translation was performed, hitting it again would go back to when the rotation translation was performed. From here, you can either step forward, which redoes the warp translation, or hit undo, which reverts back to the skew translation. Backward: ALT+CTRL+Z Forward: SHIFT+CTRL+Z Undo: CTRL+Z <span style="color: #661919; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">10 How to fill/stroke? KJ <span style="color: #661919; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Fill: You can fill with two different tools. The first one is fairly easy to locate. If you go to the "Gradient" too, right click. Two choices should pop up, one of them being the paint bucket tool. Pick your color and click an area that you want filled. There is also a second option. Choose a background or foreground color from the toolbox. Select an area to fill. Then, go to "Edit-Fill". You can choose colors and patterns from there, and if you don't like it, then the "History" option will have your original. You can also adjust the opacity and blending modes from there. Stroke: Go to "Edit-Stroke" and select an path to stroke. On the dialog box, choose the width of the border. Specify in the "Location" area whether you want it to be outside, inside, or on the selected path. You can also manage opacity from here. //<span style="color: #661919; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">11 //<span style="color: #661919; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> How to change preferences? KJ // <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">You can change preferences easily. If you go to "Edit", you scroll all the way down to the bottom of that column and click "Preferences". From there you can edit basically anything you want. //12 What is a layer and how it works? MK// <span style="color: #e94472; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">** A layer in photoshop is an image stacked one on top of another. Each layer is a different transparent image, but they appear as one on the screen.

In CS4 on the top navigation bar go to layers, new layer, and then name and chose the color of the layer you would like. Or To create a new layer, go to the layers palette you just created and click the “new layer” icon, which is the icon second from the right at the bottom. You can use the lasso tool and copy any part of your background and then paste it back into the picture again, which will show up on your layers tool bar( as a new layer option). ** <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"> //13 How to do I know what layer is active?

Go to Edit, Transform. 3. Under transform, select Flip Horizontal <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;">. //23 What is a jpeg document? MP// ((University of Indiana University Information Technology Services)) A jpeg file compresses images to save file space. In order to do this, the jpg compression analyzes pictures in groups of 64 pixels and reduces the detail. This means that it takes out separate colors, mixing pixels that are close in color so that they are the same. The less color reduces quality, but takes less space to save. It works on the theory that people notice less change in color than, say, brightness. When it compresses more, one can actually see the block pattern, making it look pixilated. If one uses jpeg, one can keep the image size the same and decrease the disk space it takes up, but the image quality will be worse.
