Adobe Photoshop

Every tool explained!

Unleash the full power behind every

icon in the Photoshop toolbar

132 pages of easy-to-follow tutorials

and expert advice to help develop your

Adobe Photoshop skills

132 PAGES!

Welcome

Polish up your knowledge…

Unravel the mysteries of the Photoshop Toolbar and

its resident icons. They’re not as scary as they look!

besides the menu options along the top of the

screen, you’ll see a Toolbar that’s chock-a-block

with icons. You’ll probably recognise some of these,

such as the ‘T’ that designates the Type tool and the

paintbrush icon that unlocks the various Brush tools.

But do you really know what the rest of these icons

mean? … Honestly? The chances are that – like many

Photoshop users across the world – you’re only using a

fraction of the program’s full potential, but this second

issue in the Photoshop Focus Guide series will change

all that, helping you make the most of all the tools at

your disposal.

Even professional designers often admit to being

hopeless with the Healing Brush and dodgy with the

Dodge tool, but there’s really no reason for any of the

tools to be a mystery. This issue will help you get more

from the Clone, Gradient, Paths and Effects tools, to

name but a few. You’ll find expert tips and advice for

working more efficiently with each of the tools, as well

as tutorials to demonstrate exactly how to carry out

useful image-editing tasks. In the final section you’ll

find a step-by-step guide that brings together all the

skills you’ve learnt, showing how to create a striking

Photoshop image.

And let’s not forget the CD that

accompanies your Focus

Guide. On here you’ll

find a library of stock

images (worth £1,990),

plug-ins and video training

tutorials to enhance your

enjoyment of Photoshop

further still!

Have fun!

Icons explained

Finding your way

Read this Guide from beginning to end or dip in and out

as you please. Either way, our icons will prove indispensable…

Adobe Photoshop it’s been

difficult to cram all the information

that we wanted to include into this

Focus Guide. That’s why you’ll find

the special icons that occupy the

margins so very useful.

As you leaf through the pages,

you’ll find a range of attractive

symbols, each of which denotes an

extra nugget of knowledge. The

icons enable you to identify exactly

what kind of information you’re

dealing with – for a full guide to

icon categories, see below. These

handy hints, tips and shortcuts are

always relevant to the topic that’s

being discussed, and will help you

develop your Photoshop skills that

little bit faster.

Our writers are always experienced

Photoshop experts who regularly

contribute to our sister magazines,

such as Computer Arts and Digital

Camera Magazine . So you can rest

assured that all the information

they provide is both authoritative

and thoroughly tried-and-tested.

On your CD-ROM

Some of the software that we refer to may be

included on your bonus CD. Every now and then

we remind you of this by flagging up the disc icon

and listing what’s on it. Handy, eh?

Take note

You’ll find a number of these nuggets of knowledge

scattered throughout the Guide. They’re crammed

with useful information that complements the

main text perfectly.

Top tips

This indicates an expert tip. Anything sheltered

beneath this icon is guaranteed to reveal a useful

hint about using Photoshop’s extensive range of

tools, palettes and features.

Watch out!

The skull and crossbones sign means proceed

with caution. You’ll find some important points

outlined below this icon, which you should

certainly take seriously.

Further information

We’d like to tell you absolutely everything, but

there’s just not enough space. Instead we refer

you to other useful resources, such as websites

and specialist books for further reading.

Links

When we refer to a website, we may pull out the

web address in the sidebar to make it easier for

you to read and remember.

Shortcuts

Carrying out common tasks again and again can

get a little tedious. Our handy shortcuts show you

how to carry out these tasks with a few deft

key-presses, saving you lots of time and effort.
