Learn the toolbox. Review the toolbox overview (laminated sheet). Locate each tool listed.
Steps to go through BEFORE created a Photoshop Document:
- Reset Workspace to default (upper right hand corner on screen)
- Reset ALL tools. (right lick on tool menu and select the second option)
- Us the OS mode when saving.
- If a selection is not highlighted, you should select the move tool (top tool). This often releases the menu and will allow you to complete the step.
- Tools are hidden underneath each other. If you right click on a tool that has a small triangle, you can see the other tool options.
- Hover the mouse over a tool and the name of it appears.
- The Save for the Web option is under the file menu. JPG and GIF are found in the dropdown menu after you select this option. JPEG and JPG are the same. (We use JPG in class.)
