Step 3

Tools Panel:

• The familiar Tools Panel contains a collection of tools for creating, selecting, and manipulating images.

Options Bar:

• Located below the application bar.

Step 4

Document Window

• Displays the file you're working on.

Panel Dock

• Located on the right of the workspace.

Step 5

How to create new image :

• Click File from the Application Bar
• Click New
• Then, click OK

Step 6

Type Tool is used to create text in Photoshop , It is a feature used mostly with desktop publishing and the web, as most people don't tend to print out home photos with text on the pictures.

Step 7

Drawing divided into 2:

• Vector graphics are made with mathematical equations and formula.
• Raster Graphics ( Bitmap) store picture data as a matrix of pixels (dots).

Step 8

The main drawing tools are located on the Tools Palette: the Pen Tool, 

Shapes Tool, Path Selection Tool. To expand the options for a tool, hold the 

mouse down on the tool icon.

Pen Tool     

Use the Pen tool to create drawing paths. You can create custom shapes and complicated curves that can be scaled easily. By accessing the expanded Pen tool, you can add, delete and covert points on your drawing path.

Path Selection    

Use the Path Selection tool to select an existing drawing path. You can also use it to move, resize, copy, or delete paths. Use the Direct Selection tool to reshape a path, or to delete a component of a path.

Shape Tool

Use the Shape tool to create paths with a certain shape. It creates the same path points that the Pen tool does. Each shape can be modified with the Path Selection tool.

Type Tool

Use the Type tool to add text to your image.

Step 9

Each of the expanded options (shown on the right) for Photoshop's painting tools can be accessed by holding down the mouse on a tool.

Patch Tool

It retouches image using sampled pixels or pattern. It works as a 

combination of the Healing Brush  with the Lasso  Tool.

Brush Tool

When working with all of the drawing tools (except the Gradient tool), 

the Brushes option is available in the toolbar to allow you to use different 

brushes and textures. You can also load one (or several) of Photoshop's 

included brush sets by clicking on the black triangle at the top right hand 

corner of the Brushes menu.

Clone tool

Allows you to copy a part of an image to another area of the image by pressing and holding the key while clicking on an image and then using the tool in another area. The Pattern Stamp tool is slightly different in that you may paste the copied image more than once

Step 10

History Tool

The History tool allows you to combine previous versions of your image 

with the current version. When working with an image, you may decide 

that you like some of the current changes as well as some of the past 

changes.

You can combine the two by selecting the history state (from 

the History palette) that includes the old changes that you liked and using 

the History tool to paint the past image onto the current state.

Eraser Tool

The default Eraser tool replaces the erased portion of the image with the 

current background color. When using the Background Eraser tool, 

however, the erased portion simply disappears.

The Magic Eraser tool behaves similar to the Magic Wand tool in that it 

will 

select similar shades of a certain color and erase portions of the image 

with 

those colors and erase them.

Step 11

Gradient Tool

This tool is a very simple way to paint a gradient between colors into your 

image. The default settings produce a linear gradient between the current 

foreground and background colors. Radial, angle, reflected, and diamond 

gradients are also available. Adding more colors and settings can be done 

in the Gradient tool's toolbar.

The Pain Bucket Tool fills an area of an image based on color similarity. 

Click anywhere in the image and the paint bucket will fill an area around 

the pixel you clicked.

Blur, Sharpen, & Smudge Tool

Blur Tool is the simplest way to blur desired spot of an image. 

Sharpen Tool 

increases contrast in the areas where you paint. 

Smudge Tool 

blends the pixels where you paint simulating the action of dragging a 

finger through wet paint.

Step 12

Layers are a basic founding concept you need to understand when working with Photoshop.

Each time you add something to your image (for example text or shapes), Photoshop will create it as a layer.

This is layer 1, a transparency with a black border and a red circle in the upper-left corner.

This is layer 2, a transparency with a green circle in the middle.

This is layer 3, our final transparency with a blue circle in the bottom-right corner

If we place layer 2 (green circle) over layer 1 (red circle), and then place layer 3 (blue circle) over layer 2, we'll get an overlapping of colors within a single image. That's how layers work!

Step 13

The Layers palette is located on the right of the workspace, in the palette dock. All of your layers are displayed in hierarchical order on the Layers palette.Dragging a layer to either to the New/Copy Layer or Delete Layer   buttons on the bottom of the palette will copy or delete the layer.

Layer Lock - allows you to lock a layer, or specific features within a layer.

Eye icon - allows you to hide a layer. You can still work on a layer even though you can't see it.

Paintbrush icon - indicates which layer is currently selected. A layer must be selected before you can make any modifications to it. To select a layer, simply click it. Selecting a layer makes it visible.
