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
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:
Select the second image. And then just similar to the first one, a second image will open
in a Photoshop:
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:
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:
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.
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:
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:
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:
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:
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.
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."
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:
The document after moving one of the images into extra canvas area.
