My name may be on the cover, but many people played a part in producing
this book. Jean-Claude Tremblay’s capable technical review made
the chapters more accurate and more coherent, Elizabeth Kuball and
Liz Welch ensured the text was clean, Valerie Haynes Perry composed
the index to help you find what you need, and Tracey Croom and Myrna
Vladic kept production running smoothly. If you judged the book by the
cover, you relied on Cory Borman’s good work. I am particularly grateful
to Rebecca Gulick for inviting me to write the book, providing me the
resources I needed, and making the whole process a pleasure.

Thank you to Doña and Verne, Andrew, Colleen, Sandy, Jinx, Pico,
Longfellow, Nada, and Belly for letting me share their photos with you.

As always, I am indebted to Sandy, who put up with my working long
hours, helped me brainstorm structural and technical issues, and shared
my enthusiasm when everything fell into place.

Introduction

Adobe Photoshop CS5 packs a lot of power into a single application. All
that power can make your life easier and your photos stunning, but
it can also be a bit overwhelming. This book is intended to help you
accomplish whatever you need to do in Photoshop without requiring
too many swear words or raising your blood pressure. As you get more
comfortable with Photoshop and the concepts involved, you’ll likely
tackle more challenging photo corrections and find yourself editing
photos with increasing confidence.

Keep in mind that this is a pocket guide to Photoshop, not a photography
primer. You’re probably a much better photographer than I am, and there
are countless books and resources out there to help you develop photography
skills. Likewise, this book isn’t a comprehensive manual for the

Photoshop application. In fact, I don’t cover any of the additional features

in Photoshop Extended (such as 3D features) in this book.

The chapters are organized primarily by task. You can read the book

from start to finish, or you can pick it up when you need to perform an

unfamiliar task or try to make sense of a feature that has you confused.

It’s completely up to you. You’ll have the best success working with

Photoshop overall, though, if you start with the basics, get comfortable

with the fundamental concepts (such as working with panels in general,

manipulating layers, creating selections, and so forth), and build on

success. Therefore, if you’re new to Photoshop, I recommend you read

through the first couple of chapters in order to learn a bit about the

Photoshop paradigm before you jump around too much.

It’s most fun to learn when you feel free to explore and experiment,

especially in an application with as many gizmos and gee-whiz features

as Photoshop. My life got much better when I started routinely working

with copies of my images, preserving the original. Knowing that those

precious pixels are safe means you can wander down any path you like

without risking your masterpiece, whether it’s the photograph of your

daughter’s first experience with ice cream or a striking sunset over a

Venetian canal.

Meet Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop has long been a treasured tool for professional

photographers, but its reputation extends far beyond industry circles.

To the lament of Adobe’s legal department (and, most likely, the glee

of its marketing folks), the brand name has become a verb in casual

conversation. Amazing images often prompt the question, “Did you

Photoshop that?”

There’s good reason that Photoshop has become so ubiquitous.

Photoshop provides the tools you need to manipulate a photograph

in almost any way you can imagine. From simple tasks, such as removing

red eye or cropping an image, to more complex procedures, such

as making creative distortions or merging parts of images with each

other, Photoshop offers a full range of features to meet the needs of

professional and amateur photographers, as well as family historians,

graphic designers, and tabloid layout artists.

While it may have been a straightforward program at its inception,

Photoshop has grown in complexity with each new release. It’s chock-full

of features, but that abundance can be a bit intimidating to a newcomer.

However, even a beginner can take advantage of much that Photoshop

has to offer from day one. Take the time to tour the user interface and

get familiar with some of the terms so that you’ll be able to make sense

of instructions later in this book, in Photoshop Help, or anywhere else you

turn for assistance. Then, dive in!

The Photoshop Work Area

If you’ve worked with other Adobe applications, especially Adobe

InDesign or Adobe Illustrator, the Photoshop work area will be familiar.

There’s plenty going on in this window, too, with panels and tools tucked

into their storage spots. At the top are the menu bar, the application bar,

and the options bar. On the left, the Tools panel includes most of the

tools in Photoshop. On the right is the panel dock, home to panels that

give you quick access to settings and options for many different tasks.

As in most applications, you’ll find most of the main commands in the

menu bar. The application bar, similar to those in other Adobe Creative

Suite applications, makes it easy to jump to Adobe Bridge or open the

Mini Bridge panel, arrange open documents, and change workspaces.

The settings in the options bar change to include whatever is relevant

for the tool you’ve selected in the Tools panel.
