Adobe Photoshop is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems

Incorporated.

When you have a document window open in Photoshop, there are a few more workspace
elements you'll need to be able to identify. Go to File > Open and navigate to any image file on
your computer and open it now. Ctrl-O (Win) or Cmd-O (Mac) is the keyboard shortcut to open
a file. This is the same shortcut used by most applications, so it should be an easy one to
remember. Windows users can take advantage of a handy shortcut for opening a file — just
double-click on the Photoshop application window background.

If your image is small, drag the lower right corner of the document window to make it large
enough that you can see all parts of the document window shown in the diagram above.

The Title Bar

The title bar shows the filename, the zoom level, and the color mode of the image. On the right
are the minimize, maximize/restore, and close buttons that are standard in all computer
applications.

Scroll Bars

You're probably familiar with scroll bars for moving around the document when it is larger than
the workspace. A good shortcut to know for avoiding the scroll bars, is the Spacebar on your
keyboard. No matter where you are in Photoshop, you can temporarily switch to the hand tool by
pressing the Spacebar. We'll practice this shortly.
Context-Sensitive Menus

In addition to the menu bar, Photoshop often has context-sensitive menus for accessing some of
the most likely commands depending on which tool is selected and where you click. You access
the context sensitive menu by right clicking, or by pressing the Control key while clicking on a
single-button Macintosh mouse.

One of the most convenient contextual menus can be accessed by right clicking on the title bar of
a document for quick access to the duplicate command, image and canvas size dialogs, file
information, and page setup. Go ahead and try this now on your open document.

Next select the zoom tool from the toolbox, and right click anywhere on your document. This
context-sensitive menu offers quick access to commands for Fit on Screen, Actual Pixels, Print
Size, Zoom In, and Zoom Out.

File: Open an image or create a new file. Save, Save As or Save a Copy; this area allows you to
save your image into several file formats. Address preferences, screen settings and other items
pertinent to the running of the program.

Edit: Copy, Paste, Paste Into, Cut and Clear actions are available here. Fill and Stroke-to fill a
selected area or apply a border around the selected area.

Image: Mode: Bitmap, Grayscale, Duotone, Indexed Color, RGB, CYMK. Image types you can
convert between. The different types to do various things and save as different file types; i.e. to
save as a GIF file the image must be in the Indexed Color mode. Adjust: This area allows you to
affect contrast, saturation, brightness, color, etc. Image Size: This area tells you the actual size
and file size. It lets you change both of these dimensions. Canvas Size: Change the size and area
of you image. Crop: Crops a selection.
