Photoshop for Beginners





              Adobe Photoshop is one of the most powerful software applications for image editing, touch up, color correction, and painting and drawing. You can use it to work with images that have been digitized on flatbed or film/slide scanners, or to create original artwork. The image files you create in Photoshop can be printed to paper or optimized for use in multimedia presentations, web pages, or animation/video projects. 



So,Lets start with Work Area!


 Work Area

  Toolbox

• Contains selection tools, painting and editing tools, foreground and backgroun color         selection boxes, and viewing tools 
• To select, simply click on the icon on the toolbox (the name of each tool will appear by   positioning the pointer over the icon) 
• A small triangle at the bottom corner of the icon indicates the presence of additional hidden tools 


Palettes

Swatches

•Displays a generic set of colors, but the true value of the Swatches palette is in its ability to load customs  watch collections Layers

History 

•Records and displays individual changes made to an image and allows for changes to be undone.

Selections
Learning how to select areas of an image is of primary importance when working with Photoshop since you must first select what you want to edit. Selections allow you to isolate areas in your image and apply different effects or filters without affecting the rest of the image.
