Photoshop Basics

A friend of mine had been saving up for some time to buy the
legendary Photoshop. The editing software of choice by
graphic designers, soulless tabloid journalists and artists
around the world, he knew he was making a great choice. He
imagined his life would be complete when he bought
Photoshop. Life would be breezy, he would glide around his
laptop making outstanding images whenever he wanted. But
when he eventually bought the Photoshop package, he was
completely lost.

You shouldn't have to go through this tragedy. You deserve
better. Photoshop may be expensive, but anyone who knows
how to properly use it will tell you it's worth every cent.
Like anything else you will have to make mistakes and learn
by yourself, exploring the interface of the software. One
way to help is to go to 'Preferences'. Here you can improve
the performance of your Photoshop.

Here is some advice to get you started. Search for the
'History Log' on the screen. This is where you can save
your progress while you edit your image. The are a number
of options to personalise your session. For example select
'Sessions Only' to make the log remember the time and dat
that you start each session. Choose 'Concise' to recall
more information about your work. And you can pick
'Detailed' for the most information, recording details about
every edit you do to the image.

If you go to preferences you can change the algorithm
options to improve the performance of your software. The
color is decided by the color picker. Windows and Adobe are
the most common choices. Resizing an image is done by the
'Image Interpolation' algorithm. Th majority of people
select 'Bicubic Interpolation'.
