Begin by opening Adobe Photoshop CS3.
On a PC, click Start > Programs > Adobe > Photoshop CS3, or click on the shortcut
on the desktop.
On a Mac, click Macintosh HD > Applications > Adobe Photoshop CS3 >
Photoshop CS3 shown in Figure 1, or click the icon in the Dock.
SETTING UP THE DOCUMENT
Setting up your document correctly from the start will make your job much easier as you
work through your project. This will require some advanced planning. For example, if
your final output will be a brochure, you may need to set up your document to be
horizontal and double-sided.
To create a new document, click File > New. This will open the Document Setup dialog
box (Fig. 2).
OPENING AN IMAGE FROM A DISK
If the image you have is saved on a disk, select File > Open, and then navigate to the
disk drive where your image is saved. Choose the image file and click Open. At this
point, you may want to save your image under a different name so that you can always
have the original to fall back on in case of a mistake. To save you r file, select File >
Save As and type in the new name of the file in the dialogue box. Now you should be
ready to go.
Menu Bar
If you look at the top of the screen you will see the Menu bar which contains all the main
functions of Photoshop, such as File, Edit, Image, Layer, Select, Filter, View,
Window, and Help.
Tool Bar
Most of the major tools are located in the Tool bar for easy access.
The Image
The image will appear in its own window once you open a file.
Image Name
The name of any image that you open will be at the top of the image window as shown
above.
Palettes
Palettes contain functions that help you monitor and modify images. By default, palettes
are stacked together in groups. These are the palettes that are usually visible:
Navigator, Color, Histogram, Layer. If none of the palettes are visible, go to Window
in the Menu bar and choose palettes you need to work with.
Palettes used for more advanced image editing will be covered in the Adobe Photoshop
CS3 Tutorial - Intermediate.
NAVIGATOR
The Navigator palette (Fig. 1) allows you to resize and move around within the image.
Drag the slider, click on the Zoom In and Zoom Out icons, or specify the percentage to
navigate in the image.
