Photoshop CS Manual

Short Description
This document is designed to get you quickly familiarized with Photoshop so you can begin in-depth learning of this versatile software. This handout IS NOT meant to replace careful study of a Photoshop manual, nor will it replace the in-depth learning available through books such as Visual Quickstart Guide to Photoshop 6.0 (available through PeachPit Press). Rather, this handout is designed to serve as a checklist or a quick reference guide as you become familiar with the software. Also note that these directions are intended to help film and videomakers become familiar with ways that Photoshop can be used in their projects. How a photographer or graphic artist may use Photoshop could be quite different.

Introduction
Photoshop is a graphics program used by film and videomakers to create graphic files for use on the Web, in CD-ROMs, as animation files, or for import into full motion video projects. You may also use Photoshop to create original promotional materials such as posters, tape cases, and one sheets for your film or video projects. Original images can be created in Photoshop using drawing and painting tools. You can also scan images into Photoshop or import/scan photos, slides, negatives, or video stills for manipulation in Photoshop.

The Toolbox
Upon launching Photoshop, the Toolbox should be visible on your desktop. The Toolbox contains a variety of tools for creating and manipulating images. If the Toolbox is not visible, go to the Window Menu, Show Tools. Notice that there are a number of other windows you could open, each with a unique use in Photoshop. We’ll talk about more relevant windows later.
