Adobe Photoshop is an image-editing program that lets one create original
artwork, manipulate color images and retouch photographs. This program excels
in digital photograph and is used to perform subtle changes such as adjusting
brightness and contrast of the images, combines different image elements and

Finding Your Way Around

When you first open Photoshop, you’ll see its toolbox on the left side of the
screen, the new Tool Options bar just under the menu headings at the top of the
screen, and four sets of windows on the right.
You won’t see a work area, because Photoshop, unlike most graphics’ programs,
doesn’t automatically open a new page for you. This actually makes sense,
because most of your work in Photoshop will be done on pictures that you have
brought in from some other source. Maybe you’ll be using digital images from
your digital devices. Possibly you’ll work on files you’ve downloaded from the
Internet or on photos from a removable device.
The Menu Bar
The Menu Bar contains all the functions available in Photoshop. By clicking a
menu in the Menu Bar, a dropdown list of tools or commands will appear. You
can access the tools directly from the Menu Bar, from the Tools panel or you can
customize your workspace to make your tools readily available as you are
working on your project.
The Options Bar
The Option Bar is where you can choose a wide variety of options to design and modify your
image or text. The Options Bar changes depending on what tool you have selected from the Tools
panel. It will show the settings or models applicable to the tool you have selected. You can
customize the settings for almost every tool in the Tools panel.

Each tool in the Toolbar has one or more tools inside that will be described in the later topics.
Place the pointer on the tool to display the name of the tool. By clicking and holding the small
triangle beside the tool, a fly out menu will appear.

Working with Panels

The small windows you can see at the right side of the Photoshop window are
called panels. The Panel can be collapsed into an icon size or it can be expanded
to see the options. Panels can be docked or grouped together or moved around
anywhere in the workspace. You can organize your panels anyway you want that
will make your work easier and faster. You can check or uncheck panels that
you want to view or hide. You can hide the panel dock and display it again from
the Menu Bar by clicking Windows, selecting Workspace and choosing
Essentials.
To collapse, expand, move or close the panel:
1. Click the Collapse button or the Expand button to collapse or

expand the panels.
2. Click to Close button to close the panel.
3. Click and drag the dark gray bar of the panel to move it around.
To attach the panel on the panel dock:
1. Drag and drop the panel to the panel dock until a blue line appears.
The Tools Panel
The tools panel is on the left side of the screen. It has many
tools that allow you to control and modify the image that you
opened or created in Photoshop. The tools in the Tools panel
are the frequently used tools and they are automatically
displayed when you launch Photoshop. You can display the
tools in two columns by clicking Collapse button and
return them to one column by clicking the Expand button.
You can also hide and display the tools panel on the Menu
Bar by clicking Window and selecting Tools.
You can move the Tools panel in any location within the
workspace by clicking and dragging dotted lines on
top of the Tools panel.
The Panel Dock

The Panel dock located at the right of the window is a collection of
panels or panel groups. By default, most panels are connected to
each other in the panel dock. You can pull out a panel by clicking
and dragging it away from the dock. Undocked panel is called a
floating panel. You can also add and remove panels.
To see the list of panels that you can use:
1. On the Menu bar, click Windows.

2. Check or uncheck panels that you want to view or hide.
To Hide the Panel dock and display it again:
1. On the Menu Bar, click Windows and click Workspace.

2. Select Essentials.
The Panel Viewer

The Panel Viewer allows you to navigate through the images that you have
worked through. It allows you to preview finished work or history of your works
in the past. This will allow you to easily work when you want to preview images
without saving the image first in your computer.

4. It is an image format developed by a consortium of graphic software

developers as a non- proprietary alternative to the GIF image format.
5. It is a file format for storing images such as photographs and line art.
What’s In
You can get images from different sources and create your own image form
scratch using Photoshop’s drawing and painting tools. There are two ways in
opening an image and it is important to know the options to save a file. The first
thing you need to learn about preparing Photoshop use is the type of format to
use. GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP and TIFF are some common graphic file formats used.

What is It
Below are some of the common graphic file formats used for Photoshop output
and their characteristics.
.GIF
The Graphic Interchange Format (.gif) was popularized by the CompuServe
Information Service in the 1980s. This graphic file uses an 8-bit (index color with
256 or fewer color) color palette which can be supported by most of the web
browser today. .GIF format is mostly used for saving graphic arts, line arts, and
screenshots that may require lesser detail but more of the solid color. Images are
usually saved using a transparent background. The .gif format is also used for
saving animated images. Single images are combined using a third-party
software to come up with an animated GIF file. The animation may be simple but
can already be used in some multimedia applications and pages on the internet.
.JPEG
Another file format used for multimedia and the web is the Joint Photographic
Experts Group or the .jpeg files. This uses a 24-bit (true color) image, in full
color. The .jpeg format is tremendously popular and patronized by
photographers, web designers, medical specialists, and artists because of its
image quality and fidelity in colors. The file is small in size and can easily be
stored in memory storage devices. .JPEG files uses the lossy compression that it
loses some detail of the image, but is not allowed to retrieve the losses anymore.
Captured images using digital devices like android phone and camera uses the
,jpeg format. Because of the small file size, users can save a number of images
in the memory cards of the camera, but may have a loss in the uality of the
pictures.
.JPEG files are good for photographic images as well as images for uploading on
the internet and sending through email. Its file size makes it capable of
transferring, opening, and saving image formats around the internet in a faster
way.
.PNG
Portable Network Graphic (PNG, pronounced “ping) is an image format developed
by a consortium of graphic software developers as a non-proprietary alternative
to the GIF image format. Like the .gif format, the .png file supports a full range
of colors, image transparency, and automatic corrections for display monitor
gamma. An added feature to this format is the capability of embedding text
description to the image, which search engines could locate for easy reference.
.BMP
This format is sometimes called the bitmap or the DIB file format (for device-
dependent bitmap), which stores images arranged in an array of mapped bits.
The bitmap file can either be compressed or uncompressed data.
.TIFF
Tagged Image File Format (abbreviated as .TIFF) is a file format for storing images
such as photographs files are generally large but are very important especially
when archiving or documenting images and documents.
The table below was summarized by Wayne Fulton in his article, “ A few Scanning
Tips,” in 2008 showing the different graphic file formats that can be used in
creating Photoshop output.
Graphic File Format Color Data Mode Bits Per Pixel

.TIFF RGB 24 or 48 bits,
Grayscale 8 or 16 bits,
Indexed color 1 to 8 bits,
Line Art (bilevel) 1 bit
.PNG RGB 24 or 48 bits,
Grayscale 8 or 16 bits,
Indexed color 1 to 8 bits,

What I Have Learned

Generalization
In this lesson, we looked at saving your worked on the different graphic format.
We examined what file formats that might best choose right for your own work.
The common graphic formats used are JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP and TIFF. The
choice of file formats when developing an output is crucial because it should be
supported by the application program to be used to ensure that it will run
without any problem.

The Selection Tools

Photoshop’s Selection tools give you the power to select the whole picture or a
single pixel. Just to refresh your memory, Table 1. Shows the Selection tools. In
Photoshop CS6, the tools are spelled out by name, rather than relying on the
icons for identity.
Before you can make changes to an image in Photoshop, you need to select it
first. Before you can get a particular object from an image and transfer it to
another image, you need to select the object first. To do this, you have to use the
Selection tool. It can be accessed from the Menu Bar and from the Tools Panel.
Select
When you select an object, it will be surrounded by a dotted line called a

marquee. After you have selected it, you can already copy, modify, transform or
move it to another location within the document or to another file.
To select a part of an image:
1. On the Tools panel, click any of the selection tools available.

2. Click the area that you want to select.
To select the whole image:
1. On the Menu Bar, click Select and click All.
With various selection tools available, you have to know the different selection
tools and know how to evaluate an image. Some objects have clearly defined
edges but others don’t. Different images require you to use different selection
tool depending on the shape and color of the object and its background.
What’s More
True or False: Write True if the statement is correct and write False if not.
Write the chosen answer on a separate sheet of paper.
1. When you select an object, it will be surrounded by a dotted line called

Lasso.
2. Marquee tools are selection tools using shapes.
3. Lasso tool is a selection tool that uses shape to select an object.
4. You cannot move, cut and paste your selected object in another file.
5. One of the selection tools that use color is the Magic Wand tool.
6. High color contrast is ideal for using color to select objects.
7. Guides are lines to help you place your image in a specific area.
8. You can transform, move and resize the image even without making a
selection.
9. Cropping is when you cut out a portion of your image.
10. The feather setting makes the border of a portrait into the
surrounding edge.
What I Have Learned

Generalization
There are several ways to select a piece of a picture. You can use any of the
Selection tools: Marquee Tools, Lasso Tools, or the Magic Wand. You have
different kinds of Selection Tools because you sometimes need to make selections
in a way, such as punching a shape out of an image or selecting all the sky.

important because it gives you the capability to enter a text into an image. In
this lesson, we are going to use the different properties of color using Photoshop
CS6. Photoshop’s treatment of color makes it very intuitive. Keep the color
palette open at all times (Window Show Color) and keep an eye on the sliders.
Notice how they change from mode to mode-the differences and similarities.

create a more sophisticated and artistic image for your photos by understanding
the Color Modes.
What’s New?

Identification
Identify the terms being described. Write your answers on the blanks provided.
Write your answer on the separate sheet of paper.
1. It is another term for the strength and purity of the color.

2. It is the color represented by saturation in proportion to the hue.
3. It is the lightness and darkness of the color.
4. It uses one of two color values that represents the pixels in an image.
5. It is the result of the channels when the original image is converted.
6. It is the color mode with the largest number of gamut colors.
7. It is the term, which determines the color model used to display and print
images.
8. It is where the colors of an indexed colored image are stored.
9. It is commonly used as the name of the color.
10.It is the term used to describe the CMYK colors.
What is It
Color Modes
HSB Mode
Based on the human perception of color, the HSB model describes three
fundamental characteristics of color:
1. Hue – is the color reflected from or transmitted through an object. It is

measured as a location on the standard color wheel, expressed as a degree
between 0 and 360 degrees. In common use, hue is identified by the name
of the color such as red, orange or green.
2. Saturation – Sometimes called chroma, is the strength or purity of the
color. Saturation represents the amount of gray in proportion to the hue,
measured as a percentage from 0% gray to 100% fully saturated. On the
standard color wheel, saturation increases from the center to the edge.
3. Brightness – is the relative lightness or darkness of the color, usually

measured as a percentage from 0% black to 100% white.
RGB Mode
A large percentage of the visible spectrum can be represented by mixing red,

green and blue colored light in various proportions and intensities. Where the
colors overlap, they create cyan, magenta, yellow and white. RGB images use
three colors, or channels, to reproduce up to 16.7 million colors on-screen. The
three channels translate to 24 (8X3) bits of color information per pixel. In
addition to being the default mode for new Photoshop images, the RGB model is
used by computer monitors to display colors. This means that when working in
color modes other than RGB, such as CMYK, Photoshop temporarily uses RGB
mode for on-screen displays.
CMYK Mode
The CMYK model is based on the light- absorbing quality of ink printed on paper.
As white light strikes translucent inks, part of the spectrum is absorbed and part
is reflected back to the eyes. In theory, pure cyan (C), magenta (M), and tallow
(Y) pigments should combine to absorb all color and produce black (K).
For this reason, these colors are called subtractive colors. Because all printing
inks contain some impurities, these three inks actually produce a muddy brown
color and must be combined with black. (K) is used instead of (B) to avoid
confusion with blue. Combining these inks to reproduce color is called four-color
process printing.
LAB Mode
The LAB color model is based on the model proposed by the Commission
Internationale d’Eclairage (CIE) in 1931 as an international standard for color
measurement.
LAB color is designed to be device-independent, creating consistent colors

regardless of the device (such as monitor, printer, computer or scanner) used to
create or display the image.
LAB color consists of a luminance or lightness component (L) and two chromatic
components:
• The a component (from green to red), and

• The b component (from blue to yellow).
Bitmap Mode
This mode uses one of two color values (black or white) to represent the pixels in
ana image. Images in bitmap mode are called bitmapped 1-bit images because
they have a bit depth of 1.
Grayscale Modes
This mode uses up to 256 shades of gray. Every pixel of a grayscale image has a
brightness value ranging from 0 (black) to 255 (white). Grayscale values can also
be measured as percentages of black ink coverage (0% is equal to white, while
100% is equal to black). Images produced using black and white or grayscale
scanners are typically displayed in Grayscale Mode.
Duotone Mode
This mode creates duotone (two-color), and quadtone (four-color) grayscale

images using two to four custom inks.
Indexed Color Mode
This mode uses256 colors at the most. When converting to indexed color.
Photoshop builds a color lookup table (CLUT), which stores and indexes the
colors in the image. If a color in the original image does not appear in the index
table, the program chooses the closest one or simulates the color using available
colors.
Multichannel Mode
This mode uses 256 levels of gray in each channel. Multichannel images are
useful for specialized printing, such as converting a duotone for printing in Scitex
CT format. The following guidelines are applied when converting images into
Multichannel mode:
• Channels in the original image become spot color channels in the

converted image.
• When converting a color image to multichannel, the new grayscale
information is based on the color values of the pixels in each channel.
• Converting a CMYK image to multichannel creates cyan, magenta, yellow
and black spot channels.
Color Gamuts (Photoshop)
A Gamut is the range of colors that a color system can display or print. The
spectrum of colors seen by the human eye is wider than gamut available in any
color model.
Among the color models used in Photoshop, LAB has the largest gamut,
encompassing all colors in the RGB and CMYK gamuts.
Typically, the RGB gamut contains the subset of these colors that can be viewed
on a computer or television monitor (which emits red, green and blue light).
Therefore, some colors such as pure cyan or pure yellow cannot be displayed
accurately on a monitor.
The CMYK gamut is smaller, consisting only of colors that can be printed using
process-color inks. When colors that cannot be printed are displayed on-screen,
they are referred to as out-of-gamut colors that are outside the CMYK gamut.

What I Have Learned

Generalization
A color mode determines the color and model used to display and print images.
Photoshop based its color modes on established models for describing and
reproducing color. Common models include HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness);
RGB (Red, Green, Blue); and CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). Photoshop
includes modes for specialized color output, such as indexed color and Duotone.
What I Can Do
HANDS-ON 9.1
1. Using Photoshop Color Picker, select a nice bright red. See how it’s
represented in the different color models. Click at the upper-right corner
of the color square. Saturation and Brightness should be 100%, regardless
of which color you have selected. Red will be 0 in the Hue window. Enter
60 in the Hue window. The color square will change to yellow. Knowing
that Red is 0 and Yellow is 60, can you predict what number pure Blue
will be?
2. Look at some other colors and see how they affect the settings. Try to see
the relationship of the colors on a theoretical color wheel to the colors you
see in the spectrum.
