adjustment layer. Properties panel is opened that display the Brightness/Contrast settings.

Photoshop. Photoshop includes many kinds of layers some of which contain images, text or

solid colors and others.

6. Choose File > Save As, type filename with extension .psd, and click OK or Save.

name ensures that the original file remains unchanged.

Sampling a color

visible. When a layer is visible, an eye icon ( ) appears in that column. A ribbon with

“Happy Birthday” written on it appears in the image window.

4. Click the blue area in the “Happy Birthday” ribbon to sample a blue color.

Using context menus

1. Select the Zoom tool ( ) > zoom in [for clear visions of lower part of an image].

Select the Rectangular Marquee tool ( ) from tool panel, drag ½” tall and 2” inch

wide (Photoshop displays the selected area’s measurement and shown by moving

dotted line. Selection areas are shown by moving dotted lines referred to as

marching ants.

2. Select the Brush tool ( ) in the Tools panel.

3. In the image window, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) anywhere

5. Click anywhere outside the selection to close the panel.

Using Hidden Tool

1. 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

one of the following methods:

• Press and hold the mouse button over the Lasso tool to open the pop-up list of

hidden tools and select the Polygonal Lasso tool.

• Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the tool button in the Tools panel

to cycle through the hidden lasso tools until the Polygonal Lasso tool is selected.

• Press Shift+L, which cycles between the Lasso, Polygonal Lasso, and Magnetic

Lasso tools. With the Lasso tool, you can draw free-form selections; Polygonal

Lasso tool makes it easier to draw straight-edged sections of a selection border.

3. Move the pointer over the left edge of the blue color bar that you just painted.

Click 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.

4. Move the cursor to the right about 1/4 inch, and click about halfway between

the top and bottom of the bar.

Setting tool properties in the options bar

1. In the Tools panel, select the Horizontal Type tool ( ). The buttons and menus in

the options bar now relate to the Type tool.

2. In the options bar, select any font from the first pop-up menu. (We used Minion

Pro Italic, but you can use any other font.)

3. Specify 32 pt for the font size. You can specify 32 points by typing directly in

the font-size text box and press Enter or Return, or by scrubbing the font-size

menu label.

4. Click once anywhere on the left side of the colored bar, and type “Text”. The

text is the same color as that of the bar.

Using panels and panel menu

1. Make sure the Horizontal Type tool ( ) is selected in the Tools panel.

2. Drag the Horizontal Type tool across the text to select the full name.

3. Click the Swatches tab to bring that panel forward, if it’s not already visible.

5. Select another tool in the Tools panel, such as the Move tool ( ), to deselect the

text so that you can see the text color.

6. Click the menu button ( ) on the Swatches panel to open the panel menu and

choose Small List.

Yellow Orange swatch and then select it.

9. Select the Move tool ( ) again to deselect the text. Now the text appears in the

orange color. Note: Don’t select the Move tool using the V keyboard shortcut,

because you’re in text-entry mode. Typing V will add the letter to your text in the

image window.
