Photoshop is a very powerful program. If you want to use Photoshop but you do not know where to start, we will teach you the basics all week.
Photoshop In this post we will take a look at each option in the toolbar. On the right side of the screen you will find the palettes and what is in the menus. Are you ready? Let’s get started.
Part 1: Familiarity with the basic tools of Photoshop
Photoshop sections generally consist of the following 3 sections:
The toolbar section, which is the most important part of Photoshop, includes the following tools:
Each tool is described in more detail below (by learning these tools, you have learned a great deal about Photoshop!):
We do not intend to teach you all the tools, but we will mention almost each of them. To learn this tool better, import a photo in Photoshop right now. (Press the + O key on the keyboard) and test each of the options we describe below.
Magic Wand Clicking on an area of the magic wand tells Photoshop to select the point where it clicks and anything similar around it. This tool can be used as a raw method to remove the background. Photo backgrounds are used.
History Brush – History brush (Y button) History brush allows you to go back to a specific time. Stick to the current photo. For example, if you turned on the whole photo while trying to create a specific area before turning it on, you can remove the date brush and paint that area to restore the previous darkness.
Type Tool – Type tool (T button) The typing tool allows you to type horizontally. The tools hidden under the horizontal tool allow you to type vertically and create a vertical horizontal cover.
Color Channels Color Channels The color channels palette lets you look at the specific colors that make up your image. When you select a particular color, you will notice that your image will be displayed in different black and white versions. This is because each color channel is just a monochrome image that represents light in each channel. For example, the channel Red is just a look at the red light in your photo. Changing the shape between these different channels to create a stretch of contact with the Venice color channel is useful for turning your black and white photo into an attractive one. Will be discussed in later lessons.
