A friend of mine had been saving up for some time to buy the legendary Photoshop. The editing software of choice by graphic designers, soulless tabloid journalists and artists around the world, he knew he was making a great choice. He imagined his life would be complete when he bought Photoshop. Life would be breezy, he would glide around his laptop making outstanding images whenever he wanted. But when he eventually bought the Photoshop package, he was completely lost.
Just as with any piece of software or tool, you will need to explore what exactly is at your finger tips. We sometimes call this "playing" ... so my advice is to play with your Photoshop extensively. Check out the 'preferences' in Photoshop. Your goal is to increase the performance of your Photoshop. So open up your "Preferences" window. The color picker chooses the algorithm that will be used. Most users will choose between Windows and Adobe. The 'Image Interpolation' is used to decide which algorithm Photoshop will use when resizing an image. The 'Bicubic Interpolation' is generally a good choice for most people.
Here is some advice to get you started. Search for the 'History Log' on the screen. This is where you can save your progress while you edit your image. The are a number of options to personalize your session. For example select 'Sessions Only' to make the log remember the time and date that you start each session. Choose 'Concise' to recall more information about your work. And you can pick 'Detailed' for the most information, recording details about every edit you do to the image.
If you go to preferences you can change the algorithm options to improve the performance of your software. The color is decided by the color picker. Windows and Adobe are the most common choices. Resizing an image is done by the 'Image Interpolation' algorithm. Th majority of people select 'Bicubic Interpolation'.
