Introduction

In this guide, you will learn all about the advantages that Adobe Photoshop delivers.
Photoshop might be the world's greatest influential image editor, on the other hand,
earlier we can do no matter what with our photos, we, first of all, require to understand
how to develop them into the latest version of Photoshop which is called as the
Photoshop CC.
The opening of the images might sound similar to a no-brainer, nevertheless when you're
dealing using program as huge as a Photoshop, even the simple assignment, similar to
the way of opening an image, can be fewer evident than you would imagine.
In this chapter, you will learn how to open the images by using a small number of
different methods. You will also look at the main difference between the opening of a
normal JPEG image and the opening of a photo that was taken in a rare file format. The
Layers are the single most significant feature of Photoshop.
They are very important, and they have their personal Layers panel along with their
Layer group in the Photoshop's Menu Bar at the top of the screen. You can also add and
delete the layers, name and rename the layers, group, move, mask and blend them
together, add effects to the layers, change their opaqueness, and much more!
Chapter 1 – Method of Opening Images in Photoshop

The Opening of the Images from a Start Screen:


When the Photoshop CC is presented, the first thing that we see is the Start screen,
which is also called as a Start workspace. When you have already opened one or more
images, then they will look like the thumbnails in Recent Files region in the center of the
screen.

If you have launched the Photoshop CC for the first time, or else you have emptied
history of your Recent Files, then you will not see any thumbnails. In its place, a Start
screen will seem in its early state, with the directions in the middle explaining exactly
how to get started.
For opening an image from a Start screen, you will click on the Open... button in a menu
region along the left:

That will open the File Explorer window on a Windows PC, otherwise the Finder
window on the Mac. Navigate to a file location on your laptop/computer from where
your image is kept or stored. Once you have sited your image, then double-click on it to
select it:

When you will select an image by double-clicking on it, the image will open in a
Photoshop, and that is ready for the editing:
If you want to close an image, then go up to a File menu in a Menu Bar alongside the top
of a screen and then select Close:

File > Close.

The Method of Re-Opening the Recent File:


It will return us to the Photoshop's Start screen where we will find the thumbnail of an
image that we have just opened in a Recent Files part in the middle. If we require re-
opening an image for more editing, then all we need to do is to click on a thumbnail:
Hidden Recent Files Panel in a Photoshop CC:
The opening of an Image from a File Menu:
When you want to open the second image by having already opened the first image, then
you will leave the first image to remain open at this time, and you will open the second
image. With your first image still open, you don't have to access to the Photoshop's Start
screen, because a different way to open the image in the Photoshop is going up to a File
at top of the screen and then selecting Open.

Going to a File > Open.


That re-opens the Finder window on the Mac. You will select the second image to open
it by double-clicking on it:

Select the second image. And then just similar to the first one, a second image will open
in a Photoshop:

The Opening of an Image from Keyboard:


As we have learned that we can open the images in a Photoshop both by clicking on the
Open... button on a Start screen and by selecting the Open command below a File menu.
The images can also be opened directly from a keyboard. You just need to press Ctrl+O
/ Command+O. It will once again re-open the Finder window (the File Explorer on
Windows PC) from where I can select the third image to open as a result of double-
clicking on it:

As a result of selecting the third image, you can see third image opening in Photoshop:
Moving Among the Multiple Open Images:
You will now have the three images open. The Photoshop places every new image in its
individual isolated tabbed document. They are named as tabbed documents for the
reason that each document has its personal tab alongside the top. Every tab displays the
name of an image along with the other data. To move in between your already opened
images, you will simply click on the tab of an image that you want to see.
For instance, if I currently view my "old car.jpg" image. Then to switch to the first
image that I opened ("flower.jpg"), I will need to click on its tab:

“Moving between the open images by just clicking on the tabs”.

It will hide the "old car.jpg" image and will return to the earlier "flower.jpg" photo:
The Closing of the Tabbed Documents:
If you want to close a photo without closing additional photos that you have opened, then
first you will select an image that you want to close using clicking on its tab. At that
moment, go up to the File menu and then choose Close. Otherwise, the faster way is by
clicking a small "x" sign in a tab itself. Going on a Windows PC, "x" is found on a right
side of a tab. Going on a Mac; it is found on a left side:

Click on the "x" to close the single image without closing other images.
For closing all the open images together, rather than closing the tabs individually, you
will go up to a File menu and then choose to Close All:

File > Close All.

Opening the Raw Files:


All of the photos that I have opened in a Photoshop are JPEG files because every image
had a ".jpg" file extension lead at the end of its name.
You will need to press Ctrl+O / Command+O on a keyboard to rapidly re-open the
Finder window (the File Explorer on Windows PC), at that time you will double-click
on the fourth photo that you want to open it. Just notice, that this photo you are about to
open possesses a dissimilar file extension, “. Dng". The DNG stands for the Digital
Negative, an Adobe's version of a raw file format:

“The opening of a raw file rather than a standard JPEG”.


Every camera producer possesses its version of a raw set-up, each having its sole
extension. The Canon raw files, for instance, normally have ".cr2" extension. The Nikon
utilizes “. nef", but Fuji utilizes “. raf". Adobe also possesses its individual raw format
with “. dng" extension.
When we open the JPEG files, they are opened straightly into the Photoshop. However,
when we open the raw file, somewhat different happens. Somewhat than going directly
to the Photoshop, the images that were taken as the raw files open first in the Adobe
Camera Raw.
The Camera Raw is an isolated plug-in comprised with the Photoshop that launches
habitually every time we open the raw file. It is often called as a digital darkroom for
the reason that we utilize it to develop a raw image (improving contact and the color,
adding some early sharpening, and much more) sending it off to the Photoshop in
advance:
Photos Taken as the Raw Files Open in a Camera Raw:
If you have opened an image in a Camera Raw, then simply click on the Open Image
button at the end of a dialog box:

This will close the Camera Raw and will open an image in the Photoshop:

You will close a photo through going up to a File menu and then selecting Close:
Going again to a File > Close.
It will once again return you to the Photoshop's Start screen from where all four of your
images will now visible as the thumbnails in a Recent Files region:

This is how you will open the images by utilizing the Open... button on a Start screen,
Open command below a File menu, and utilizing the near keyboard shortcut, along with
how to re-open the images from a Recent Files region of a Start screen, in a most recent
version Photoshop CC!
Chapter 2 – Method of Creating New Documents in
Photoshop

In this chapter, we will learn method of creating a new Photoshop documents by using a
New Document dialog box which has been totally redesigned in the Photoshop CC
2017.

Creating the New Documents vs. Opening of Images:


The difference between creating the new documents and the opening of an existing image
in the Photoshop can be a bit unclear.
Whenever we create a new document, we create what a blank canvas is. Images,
graphics, and other design assets can then be imported into the document. That is usually
what you want to do when you are creating any design layout. You only create a new
blank document at any size that you need and after then begin to add and arrange your
several elements.
The New documents are important for a digital painting with the Photoshop's brushes,
and also for creating mixtures from the multiple images. Mostly, any time when you want
to start with the blank canvas and then adding your content as you end to end, you will
desire to create the new Photoshop document, which is what you are going to read in
this chapter.
For a photographer, the blank document is perhaps not what you want. In its place, you
will want to start it by opening of an existing image.

Creating New Photoshop Document:


To make the new document in the Photoshop, we utilize New Document dialog box.
There are a few methods to make it. One method is by clicking on New... button on the
Start screen of Photoshop:
The second method is by going up to File menu in a Menu Bar alongside the top of the
screen and choosing the New. It is helpful if an image or the document is already open
and do not have access to a Start screen, or if you have deactivated the Start workspace:

Going to the File > New.


Otherwise, you can just press a keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+N / Command+N. It will then
open a New Document dialog box:

“The redesigned New Document dialog box in the Photoshop CC”.

A New Document Dialog Box:


Just have a look alongside the top of a New Document dialog box, you can easily see a
row of the categories i.e. Recent, Saved, Photo, Print, Art & Illustration, Web, Mobile,
Film & Video. With the help of default, a dialog box opens to the recent category. Any of
the documents that you have utilized in recent times will appear itemized in an area
below.

The recently-used document sizes appear in a recent category.

Creating the New Documents from the Presets:


The top method for creating a new Photoshop document is by seeing if there is by this
time a preset that we can utilize, and that matches a size we require. First of all, select
the type of a document that you want to make the photo, the web, mobile, etc. from
categories alongside the top. Let’s suppose I choose Photo:

”Selecting a document category”.


The Preset document sizes for a chosen category will get visible below. Just a few
presets shown at first. If you want to see extra of them, then click on View All Presets +:
Clicking on the "View All Presets +" option.
Utilize the scroll bar alongside a right to scroll through presets. If you found one that
will match your requirements, then select it by clicking on it. Let’s suppose I choose
Landscape, 8 x 10:

Details of a preset will appear in PRESET DETAILS panel alongside the right of a
dialog box. Later choosing a Landscape, 8 x 10 preset, this preset will create the
document having Width = 10 inches and a Height = 8 inches. It will also set a Resolution
to 300 pixels/inch that is the standard resolution for print:
“Preset Details panel in a New Document dialog box”
If you are satisfied with settings, then click on the Create button in a bottom right of a
dialog box:

It will close a New Document dialog box and opens a new document in the Photoshop:

A new document is created.


Authenticating The Document Size:
You can verify the size of the document you wanted by using the Photoshop's Image Size
dialog box. For that, you will go up to an Image menu at the top of a screen and then
choose the Image Size:

Going to the Image > Image Size.


It will open the Image Size dialog box from where it will be seen that the document
Width = 10 inches, the Height = 8 inches, and Resolution = 300 pixels/inch:

Verifying settings with an Image Size dialog box.


Close the Image Size dialog box by clicking on the Cancel button:

Then, you will close out of the new document by going up to File menu and then
choosing Close:
Going to the File > Close.
In the meantime, I have no extra documents open at this moment, and the Photoshop
returns me to a Start screen. All I need to do is that I will open a New Document dialog
box once more by clicking on the New... button:

Clicking on the New... button.


A New Document dialog box once more opens to a Recent category somewhere this
time, and it's showing not only a default Photoshop size but then again also a Landscape,
an 8 x 10 preset that I have just utilized. If I ever wanted to rapidly create the new
document by utilizing both of these sizes, then all I would require doing is to double-
click over the one that I need:

The previously-used document size will now appear in a Recent list.

Saving the Settings as Preset:


If for instance, you will need the same document size once more in the future, then you
can easily save your settings as the custom preset. For that, just click on the Save icon at
the top of PRESET DETAILS panel:

Clicking on the Save icon.


Provide your preset the descriptive name. Let’s suppose if it is named as the
"Landscape, 13 x 19". At that time, click on Save Preset button:

Naming preset, then clicking on "Save Preset."

Deleting the Saved Preset:


Whenever you need to delete a preset, then click on the trash bin sign in an upper right of
the thumbnail:
Click on a trash bin to delete preset.
Now as I have saved the settings as the preset, I will create a new document by clicking
on Create button in a bottom right corner:

Clicking on a Create button.


It then again closes New Document dialog box and will open a new document in the
Photoshop:

The second new document appears.

Bringing Back the "Legacy" New Document Dialog Box:


On the Windows PC, just go up to Edit menu at the top of a screen, then choose the
Preferences, and then choose General. On the Mac, go up to Photoshop CC set menu,
then choose Preferences, and then choose the General. Otherwise, you can also use a
keyboard shortcut like, Ctrl+K (Win) / Command+K (Mac):
Going to the Edit (Win) / Photoshop CC (Mac) > Preferences > General.
It will open Preferences dialog box set to General options. Look for an option that will
say Use Legacy "New Document" Interface and then click inside its checkbox to permit
it:

Turning on 'Use Legacy "New Document" Interface' option.


Click on OK to close Preferences dialog box. Next time if you plan to make a new
document, a New Document dialog box will come in its extra streamlined, unique form.
For switching to redesigned version, go back to the same choice in the Photoshop's
Preferences and then uncheck it:
The unique, "legacy" version of New Document dialog box.
This is how to create new Photoshop documents from presets, as well as method of
saving your custom settings as the presets, utilizing the redesigned New Document
dialog box in the Photoshop CC 2017!
Chapter 3 – Understanding the Concept of Layers in
Photoshop

In this chapter, you will learn the fundamentals of layers in the Photoshop, containing
what layers are, how they work, and knowing how to utilize them is so significant
Basics of the layers have not changed over the years, I have explained everything in this
chapter by using Photoshop CS6, the whole thing is well-matched with the Photoshop
CC. The Layers are the single most significant feature of Photoshop.
They are very important, and they have their personal Layers panel along with their
Layer group in the Photoshop's Menu Bar at the top of the screen. You can also add and
delete the layers, name and rename the layers, group, move, mask and blend them
together, add effects to the layers, change their opaqueness, and much more!
The Layers panel is somewhere we view the layers in our document. Photoshop has
automatically created default layer. Default layer is named as Background for the reason
that it helps as the background for our work.
When we look to the left of layer's name, we see a thumbnail image. It is a layer's
preview thumbnail. It displays a small preview of what is on a layer. We can see both
shapes along with the white background. As we didn't add any layers ourselves, the
Photoshop has placed everything we've done on this one, default Background layer:

The Layers panel displaying everything on a Background layer.

Take the Two with the Layers:


First of all, clear away two shapes that were added. As everything is in a single layer,
just fill the layer with the white. Go up to the Edit menu at the top of a screen and then
again choose the Fill. As Fill dialog box appears, then change a Use option from the
Color to the simple White:

Going to the Edit > Fill, and then changing Use to White.
Click on OK for closing the dialog box. The Photoshop fills a document with the white,
and then we will be back from where we started:

The Layers Panel:


We utilize Layers panel to make new layers, to delete the existing layers, to rename the
layers, to move the layers nearby, to turn the layers on and off in a document, to add the
layer masks and the layer effects, etc. This is all done from inside the Layers panel.
The Layers panel is presenting us that we presently have one layer in this document
which is the default Background layer. A preview thumbnail to the left of layer's name is
displaying us that a Background layer is occupied with the white:

The Layers panel displaying a white-filled Background layer.


When we firstly added the two shapes to a document, then they were both added to
Background layer, and that was the reason there was no technique to transfer them
independent of each other. Shapes and white background were all fixed together on the
flat photo.
This method of working in a Photoshop, where the whole thing is added to the single
layer, is called in practical terms as "wrong" for the reason that when you require going
back and then making the changes, you fall into the "problem." Just examine what
happens when we create the same layout as earlier, however, this time, we will put the
whole lot on its particular layer.
The white background is at present on a Background layer, thus let's add new layer
directly above it for our first shape. For adding the new layer to a document, just click
on New Layer icon at the bottom of Layers panel:

Clicking on a New Layer icon.


The new layer appears directly above Background layer. The Photoshop will
automatically name the new layer as Layer 1. When we look at preview thumbnail to the
left of layer's name, then we can see that it is occupied with a checkerboard pattern.
This pattern is a Photoshop's technique of demonstrating the transparency.
A new blank layer named as "Layer 1" appears above Background layer.
Layer 1 is highlighted in a blue color. It means it is presently the active layer. Whatever
we need to add to the document will be added to active layer i.e. (Layer 1). Start adding
the first shape, just as we did before. As our first shape was square, we will require
once again to select Rectangular Marquee Tool from the Tools panel.
By "group," it means all of the tools that are collected together in the same spot.
Meanwhile, the last tool that we closed from a group was Elliptical Marquee Tool, and
its sign is the one that is currently visible in Tools panel. To switch back to Rectangular
Marquee Tool, we will require right-clicking (Win) and Control-click (Mac) on
Elliptical Marquee Tool and choose Rectangular Marquee Tool from a fly-out menu:

Selecting Rectangular Marquee Tool from behind Elliptical Marquee Tool.


Through the Rectangular Marquee Tool in hand, just click and drag out the square
selection which is similar to the previous one, pressing and then holding Shift key as you
drag to force shape into a perfect square. Once you're done, just release Shift key, and
then release the mouse button.
Drawing another square selection.
Then go up to Edit menu at the top of a screen and then choose Fill. Once the Fill dialog
box opens, just change Use option to the Color, after that pick the color for a square
from Color Picker. Click on OK to close the Color Picker, and then click on OK to close
the Fill dialog box.

It seems like as if they are in a document, on the other hand, they are two fully distinct
elements:

We may add one more new layer to a document by just clicking on New Layer icon at
the bottom of Layers panel:
Adding another new layer.
Now Layer 2, appears above the Layer 1. Notice that the checkerboard pattern in a
preview thumbnail is telling us that a new layer is presently blank:

The Layer 2 is highlighted in a blue color, and that means it is now an active layer. No
matter what we add next to a document will be added to a Layer 2. Then grab Elliptical
Marquee Tool from a Tools panel and drag out the circular selection.
Make sure that portion of it is overlapping a square. Then just go back up to Edit menu
and then choose Fill. Re-select the Color for Use option to open Color Picker and then
choose the color for a shape.
Click on OK to close the Color Picker, click on OK to close the Fill dialog box. The
Photoshop fills a selection with a color. Then go up to Select menu and then choose the
Deselect to take out the selection outline from around a shape. And now, both of our
shapes are added:
Both of shapes have been redrawn.

Changing Order of the Layers:


Just click on a square shape's layer i.e. Layer 1 and then drag it back down under a
round shape's layer i.e. Layer 2. The highlight bar displays that where a layer will be
moved to when the mouse button is released:

Dragging the Layer 1 under Layer 2.


Then release the mouse button such that the Photoshop will drop the Layer 1 under the
Layer 2:
The square shape layer is now under round shape layer.
And we can see a round shape in front of a square one in composition:

The shapes are now backing to their unique order.

Deleting the Layers:


If we decide to remove the shapes from a composition, then we do it only by deleting the
layer. Click on a square's layer i.e. Layer 1 to select it. Then, to delete a layer, drag it
into Trash Bin at the bottom of Layers panel:
Dragging the Layer 1 into the trash.
Now do the similar thing with a round shape, drag its layer down into a Trash Bin:

Dragging the Layer 2 into the trash.


And now, with both shape layers deleted, we will have just a solid white background:

Both shapes have been removed. Only the background remains.


Hopefully, you now know better about the layers and their importance working with the
Photoshop. The Layers permit us to keep various elements in the composition separate
to add them, to move them, to edit them, and to delete them.
Chapter 4 – Scaling and Resizing of Images in Photoshop

Setting Up of the Document:


Consider the following image:

An image opens in the Photoshop CC.


Just start by changing name of a Background layer in a Layers panel. For that, just
double-click directly on a name "Background":

Double-clicking on a Background layer's name.


It will open a New Layer dialog box from where we can change layer's name. By
default, the Photoshop will recommend changing it to the "Layer 0" on the other hand
this layer can be utilized as a pixel-based version of the image, so just rename it as
"Pixels." After that click on OK to close the dialog box:

Changing of Background layer's name in a New Layer dialog box.


Now see that a Background layer is named as the "Pixels" layer:

The Background layer has been renamed as "Pixels."


Next, make the copy of this layer which you can use for the Smart Object. For that, you
will press and hold the Alt (Win) and the Option (Mac) key on the keyboard as you will
click on "Pixels" layer and then drag it down onto New Layer sign at the bottom of a
Layers panel:

Dragging the "Pixels" layer onto a New Layer sign while pressing Alt (Win) and Option
(Mac).
Adding Alt (Win) and Option (Mac) key conveys Photoshop to firstly open Duplicate
Layer dialog box before making a copy of a layer. It permits us to name duplicate layer
before adding it. I will name it as "Smart Object," after that click on OK to close the
dialog box:
Naming the duplicate layer as "Smart Object."
Now, you can see in Layers panel that there are two identical layers i.e. one named as
"Smart Object" and one is named as "Pixels."

The Layers panel displaying both the layers.


Next, add the Solid Color fill layer to work as a background for a document. Click on a
New Fill or Adjustment Layer sign at the bottom of a Layers panel:

Clicking on the New Fill or the Adjustment Layer icon.


Then choose the Solid Color from the top of a list:
Choosing Solid Color fill layer.
It will open the Photoshop's Color Picker from where we will select the color for fill
layer. Then choose the white, then click on OK to close the Color Picker:

Choosing the white from a Color Picker.


Photoshop will add a new white-filled Solid Color layer which is named as "Color Fill
1" to a document. The problem arises when you want to utilize this fill layer as a
background for your document; on the other hand, the Photoshop has added it directly
above other two layers. It means that your document is presently filled with a white
since a fill layer is blocking the layers that are under it from outlook:
Photoshop adds a Solid Color layer above two image layers.
For fixing this, click on a Solid Color fill layer and then drag it downward under other
two layers till highlight bar appears under "Pixels" layer. A highlight bar says that where
a layer will be moved to at a time when you release the mouse button:

Clicking on and dragging Solid Color fill layer under "Pixels" layer.
Just go ahead and then release a mouse button:
Finally, you will need to add extra canvas space to your document so that you can fit
both the images side-by-side. In doing that, you will go up to Image menu in a Menu Bar
alongside the top of a screen and then choose the Canvas Size:

Going to the Image > Canvas Size.


It will open the Canvas Size dialog box. You will need to add canvas space to the width
of a document; as a result first, you will change measurement type for both Width and the
Height to the Percent. Then, you will leave Height fixed to 100 Percent then you will
change Width to 200 Percent.
You will leave Relative choice unchecked, and then finally, in Anchor grid, you will
select a square in a right column, middle row. It will tell Photoshop to keep all the extra
canvas space to the left of the current canvas. When you are done, you will click on OK
to close the dialog box:

The Canvas Size dialog box.


And now, we clearly see extra canvas space that has been added to left side of an image.
It is filled with the white for the reason that what we see the white Solid Color fill layer
under the two image layers:
The document with the extra canvas space added.
Now all it requires is to move Smart Object layer above the left of Pixels layer. For
that, you will select Move Tool from Toolbar along the left of a screen:

Selecting a Move Tool.


After that, you will click on "Smart Object" layer in Layers panel for making it active:

Selecting the "Smart Object" layer.


By selecting "Smart Object" layer and Move Tool in hand, you will press and hold Shift
key and then drag the layer to the left until it breaks into place alongside image on
"Pixels" layer. By holding Shift key as you drag will limit the angle in which you can
move, allowing it easier to drag straight across horizontally:
Dragging one image to the left of the other.
And now your Photoshop document is ready for a side-by-side judgment.
