Adobe Photoshop is an image editing

software created by Adobe Systems

Inc. It is a software which allows you
to make changes in photos such as the
following: crop, resize, change, or
remove background, correct colors,
and even create a cartoon version of a
person.
 This bar automatically changes to include settings
related to the tool you are currently using. It lets you
customize the behavior of nearly every item in the Tools
Options Bar panel. You can point your cursor at any setting, and you
will see a little yellow pop-up description called a tooltip
(you don’t need to click—just don’t move your mouse for
a couple seconds). The Options bar is located at the top
of the screen, but it does not always stay there. You can
move it around by grabbing its left end and dragging it
wherever you want it to be placed,

DOCUMENT TABS When we open an image in
Photoshop, we call it as tabbed
document. In the displayed
screen above, only one of
three photos is on the screen.
To switch between the tabbed
documents (Untitled 1,
Untitled 2, Untitled 3) simply
click which tab you want to
preview.
Panels

Adobe Photoshop has

three main panels namely:
Color, Adjustments, and
Layers Panel. As you can see,
opposite each panel has
another tab, except for the
Layers Panel which has two
other tabs. Those were
grouped or nested to prevent
cluttering up the entire screen.
 ZOOM LEVEL

Zoom tool is used to

zoom in or out an image.
To do this, click the Zoom
Tool in the Tools panel or
simply press Z on the
keyboard then click
anywhere on the image to
magnify it.
 DOCUMENT WINDOW

The area where the image

is displayed. It is also known
as “canvas
 RESIZING FRAME

You cannot resize a photo by

means of dragging its corners.
You must use Image>Image Size
to encode the size of an image that
you prefer.
SWAPPING SCREEN MODES

The fastest way to switch screen modes is

through keyboard. Simply press letter F on
your keyboard and you will be directed to
different modes.

Adobe Photoshop has three different screen

modes for your document-viewing pleasure.
1. STANDARD SCREEN MODE -
This is the default view when you
launch Photoshop for the first time. It
displays the entire interface.
2. FULL SCREEN MODE WITH
MENU BAR – This option hides
some, but not all, of the elements of
Adobe Photoshop interface.
3. FULL SCREEN MODE – This
mode completely hides the interface,
making use of full access to the entire
screen.
