Adope Photoshop (Part-II)

SELECTING/COPYING/PASTING:

Lets reset the tools. This is done by clicking on a tool and resetting all tools in tool option bar directly below the menu bar.

• Select reset all tools and click OK.
• This is done because a previous user could have set custom configurations that you do not desire.

• The Marquee Tool allows you to click and drag an area of an image thus selecting it.
•  Notice that the selected area is surrounded by the “Marching Ants” - a moving dotted line.
• This works just like a word processor in the sense that you select an area, copy an area and then paste it to a destination.
• Notice that when you paste into another document, a new layer is created.

Also note that you cannot affect that layer unless you single click on it in the Layer window. (Menu > Window > Layer).

SAVE DOCUMENT AND THE FORMAT:

Formats:

♦ .PSD This is the PhotoShop format and it preserves layers.

♦ .JPG This is for the web and is used for graphics on the web.

♦ .GIF This is also for the web but is best for text.

♦ .TFF A great cross platform format that preserves all quality for printing.

♦ .PCT Another good format for print and cross platform.
