Adobe Photoshop 6

1
Adobe Photoshop 6

• Advanced Level Course

2
Easy Fixes

• Photoshop is the best tool to fix old, torn and
  faded photographs, and can fix almost all flaws
  in photographs.

3
Cleaning Pictures

• Pictures that have been folded, ripped, faded and
  very old can not only be fixed, but portions can
  also be recreated within Photoshop.

4
Applying Tints

• Applying the Duotone mode allows you to create a
  richer tone in the image, as it combines the
  grayscale image with a colored ink.

5
Image Retouching

• Fix Red Eye, edit pictures, or drag and drop to
  manipulate a photograph and what it contains.

6
Advanced Editing

• With Photoshop, you can remove the person from
  the picture and its like they were never there.

7
Merging Pictures

• You can combine two pictures to create one
  picture, adding a certain element to another
  picture.

8
Erasing Backgrounds

• Use the Background Eraser tool for an image when
  the edges of an image are too complicated to
  remove with the Magic Wand, or to erase slowly
  bit by bit.

9
Alternative Composites

• Photoshop can be used to create art from
  scratch, and a composite can also be created
  from nothing, not just by combining images being
  worked on.

10
Actions Palette

• The Actions palette not only allows you to define
  your own keyboard shortcuts, it also allows you
  to record an entire sequence of commands and
  operations as one single action.

11
Record Actions

• An action can include a single command, or you
  can record multiple operations at a time.

12
Edit Actions

• Actions can be added to, removed, moved in order,
  copied, and generally edited.

13
Play Actions

• When ready to play your action, you can play all
  of it or just a single operation.

14
Saving and Loading Sets

• Only a set of actions can be saved and loaded,
  not individual actions.

15
Resetting, Replacing and Clearing

• If at any point your Actions palette is full of
  sets not being used, the palette menu provides
  three commands, Reset Actions, Replace Actions
  and Clear All Actions which you can use to clean
  up Actions and Operations.

16
Batch-Processing

• When applying a particular action to a multiple
  of different projects, instead of manually
  executing the action on each individual project,
  you can have the action affect the projects as a
  group, or batch.

17
Droplets

• The Create Droplet command allows you to save
  batching instructions in the form of a droplet.

18
Photoshop and ImageReady

• ImageReady is the Adobe application designed to
  prepare and optimize images for the web
  environment.

19
File Formats and File Size

• The three formats used by both Photoshop and
  ImageReady are
• GIF
• JPEG and
• PNG

20
Transparent Pixels

• Any GIF file can store transparency information.

21
Optimizing Images

• The Save for Web command allows you to index
  colors, add transparency, and save an image to
  GIF or JPEG at the same time. There is no need
  to use the Indexed Color or Color Table commands.

22
Web Settings for Optimization

• The Save for Web dialog box allows you to view
  your image in 4 ways Original, Optimized, 2-Up
  and 4-Up, which allows you to set up your image
  for the web.

23
GIF Settings for Optimization

• When GIF is selected from the Format pop-up menu,
  most of the options are similar to the Indexed
  Color and GIF Options dialog boxes, but there are
  a couple of new options.

24
JPEG Settings for Optimization

• Most of the JPEG controls in the Save For Web
  dialog box are also found in the JPEG Options
  dialog box.

25
Optimization Menu

• The Optimization menu has some new options
  allowing you to optimize your image to its best
  possible final look.

26
Preview Menu

• The Preview Menu icon is located at the top of
  the Save For Web dialog box, and its options
  allows you to control the appearance and feedback
  provided by the previews.

27
Output Settings

• Selecting the Output Settings button opens the
  Output Settings dialog box.

28
Saving PNG Images

• The Portable Network Graphics format, or PNG
  format, was designed to outperform and ultimately
  replace the GIF format.

29
Indexed Color Palette

• The Indexed Color Palette allows you to tell
  Photoshop how to compute the colors in the
  look-up table, with multiple options.

30
Editing Indexed Colors

• Every once and awhile, Photoshop can select some
  colors that look very off base. So you are able
  to edit the colors manually within the Color
  Table dialog box.

31
Create Slices

• As all images are rectangular, all slices are
  rectangular. For each slice created, a slice
  number will appear in the upper-left corner of
  the slice.

32
Edit Slices

• The Slice Options dialog box allows you to name
  the slice, add a link, along with other slice
  attributes.

33
Slice Options

• After a slice is created, you can give the slice
  a specific name, create a link to a Web page, and
  more.

34
Save Slices

• After creating image slices, save them.

35
Image Mapping

• Mapping an image means having one large graphic
  with irregularly shaped buttons drawn over it.

36
JavaScript Rollovers

• A rollover is a collection of JavaScript
  functions that will make a button change
  according to the actions of the mouse cursor.

37
Navigate Frames

• ImageReady can read all frames in an animated GIF
  file and automatically separate each one to an
  independent layer.

38
Add and Organize Frames

• The Animation palette works like an expanded
  version of the Rollover palette.

39
Save and Optimize an Animation

• ImageReadys GIF functions are based on the
  slicing metaphor, saving an animation becomes a
  matter of four Optimize features Optimize,
  Optimized, Optimize Animation and Save Optimized
  As.
