Photoshop Basics -
A friend of mine took the plunge and invested in Photoshop. He had saved and planned for this purchase that was going to make his life easier. He had envisioned getting Photoshop and immediately creating graphics that would be the envy of all on the internet. But then he attempted to use it. He was totally lost! Don't let this happen to you. Now that you've invested in Photoshop you want to get the most out of it possible. This is an expensive tool but obviously well worth its weight in gold to anyone having the knowledge to use it to its full potential.
You won't have to go through this pain if you spend some time learning about Photoshop. The software is pricy and for good reason- it's the best image editing software on the market today. For someone who is knows what he or she is doing, Photoshop can do anything.
The color algorithm that the program uses is decided by the color picker. Most user select Adobe or Windows. The algorithm for resizing an image is chosen by the 'Image Interpolation'. Again, most people will use the 'Bicubic Interpolation'.
Next you will notice the "History Log". This allows you to save all the steps you used in the creation of an image. Here you have some choices ... you can either record the start time and date of every editing session with the "Sessions Only" selection. The "Concise" selection records details on every editing session on the file. The other option is the "Detailed", which records the same information as in the 'Concise' selection ... plus information such as the path of the file and an account of every edit made to the file.
The only real way to learn Photoshop is to play around with things. Keep exploring and discover what you can do. For more specific learning read about Photoshop online and try out the many available video tutorials. After a while, you'll be making superb pictures just like my nephew wanted to!
