It's Wednesday again! New Intel about Designing and coloring!
But before we tackle about Designing and coloring sh.. stuff
we must first setup our Photoshop
YEY!!! wait.. WHAT!! nobody got time for that. I wanna create art!!!
Calm your self young artist. Before you can create a design or an art work first learn the basics of photoshop.
ok...but make it quick
OK so lets get started FIRTS of all what kind of Operating System are you using is it a PC or a MAC?
why am I asking you this? because there's a little difference between the two specially the keys
A MAC has a "COMMAND" and "OPTION"key while a PC has "ALT" and "CONTROL"
MAC PC
command - control
option - ALT
try getting used to the idea if you are using a MAC
ok moving on!
To change the settings of your Photoshop you need to open the PREFERENCE tab. How?
1st open your PS and go to the EDIT tab is you are using a PC, If you're using a MAC go to the photoshop tab at the upper left most part of your window, Click that and find the PREFERENCE tab,
OR just CTRL+K on PC, COMMAND+K
now that you opened your preference
there should be a window
inside that window you will see many words. DUH!!
there will be a selection on the left side of the window
you will see these words inside
GENERAL - basically handles general stuff like size of image, zooms etc
INTERFACE - screen colors, menus, UI text options etc
FILE HANDLING - management of file
PERFORMANCE - ram and this is where you can adjust you PS performance
CURSORS - cursors you can make it more visible just put it on NORMAL
TRANSPARENCY and GAMUT - you know that checkered pattern this is where you can change its colors
UNITS RULERS - change the units to inches if you are going to print and pixels for internet use
GUIDES and GRIDS - noting important here. color changer for the grids
PLUGINS - if you have plugins
TYPE - FONT sizes , font names.
after that you're DONE!
OH!! you need to press ok and restart you photoshop before the changes apply.
happy editing
