Photoshop Efficient Operation Deployment strategy

Preferences-General

HUD Color Picker

Remember "Those you do not know the Photoshop cold knowledge," the first phase of the color picker? Here you can set the color picker style there are two options available!

How to use:

shift+alt+ right button (mac:command+control+option+ left)

Enable Light stroke panning

Using a small hand to drag the canvas after opening will produce a very cool slip effect.

But! It is highly recommended to turn it off! One is to occupy the memory, and one is not good for operational efficiency at all.

Change the circle brush hardness according to the HUD moving vertically

Usually with HUD color picker matching use, open can be dragged to change the brush hardness and size, one of God's functions, strongly recommended to open!

Usage: ALT + Right button (mac:control+option+ right)

Aligning the vector tool with the change and pixel grid

Needless to say, the UI design should often switch this item, after the operation of the layer, shape, etc. will automatically align the pixel grid, to ensure that there is no virtual edge, but in the production of complex graphics need to be slightly adjusted, then I tend to temporarily close it. The CS6 and above versions are only available, so it is strongly recommended that the UI design update the PS version.

Historical records

CS6 joined such a thing, frankly speaking is to generate a history log, after testing, can not restore back in the history of the panel to undo, Ah, white excited.

Little meaning, the need for children's shoes can be open.

Preferences--Sync settings (CC)

CC new version of the artifact, suggested check, can sync most of the settings, for the depth of custom-made children's shoes is almost doubled.

Sync settings:

Preferences--File processing

File storage Options

Image preview: Store image thumbnails-I use the Mac, here and the win version seems to be a little different, anyway, suggested tick.

Append file extension: For the win version is not very useful, because even if deleted in the store will automatically add, but on the Mac is more ... The file format is changed when you save it by mistake--suggest tick.

Automatic storage recovery information time interval: Big picture Party Gospel ~ How many people because of the crash did not save in time and anger slam computer ~ Here you can set the automatic save time interval, according to need to adjust it, too often will be very close to the card! This default is checked.

(This sentence is I added later, rub, froze, fortunately there is automatic save)

Preferences-Performance

Memory usage

is to allow Photoshop to use how much memory, suggest open 70~80% appearance, give too much is not a good thing ~

History and advanced caching

History Status: Determine the number of bars stored in the history panel, remember that the default is 20, basically not enough, but too much will be consumed memory, suggest open to 100~200 is enough.

Cache level and tile size These two do not have to manually adjust, you can directly through the above three options to choose:

Small document: For small, layered documents, UI-designed baby shoes recommend this option.

Default: Applies to medium sized, medium-sized documents, which is the default.

Large document: Suitable for large size, less layer of documents, graphic design, photography and other needs to deal with the printing level image of the students can consider this.

Scratch disk

There is nothing to say, in addition to the C disk, can be as many as possible to check the election. (Mobile device disk, see the situation it ~ USB3.0 words will not be ideal)

Graphics processor Settings

Can open on the use of this thing is not only to provide 3D performance, the above mentioned HUD operation need to check this to normal use.

Preferences--Cursors

Painting cursors

This is a good understanding of the other, only two:

Normal brush tip: The default brush tip, the tip range is the visible size after the pen.

Full-size brush tip: The tip range also counts the transparent pixel range after the pen is taken.

What's the difference between the two?

To put it simply-with the normal nib, if the hardness is not 100%, then the actual range is larger than the tip range, because the soft brush edge is transparent pixels, these are not counted. And the full size brush will all the pixels into, that is, how big the pen, the actual range after the pen is how big.

This thing in the Chettu can avoid a transparent pixel is cut off the tragedy, but the tip range will be beyond the visual range, so like which to use whichever is good ~

Brush Preview

Remember that the above can be dragged to control the brush hardness and size of the HUD operation Bar, where you can choose to set the brush preview color Austria ~

Preferences-units and rulers & guides, grids, and slices

Unit

Ruler units must follow the document to go!! Do the plane in centimeters, millimeters, and so on, UI design must be in pixels AH pro!

As for writing, the point is a relative unit that can occasionally switch units to see the actual size.

Grid

Style: This can be set in the form of a grid, personal feel dot good use of

Grid line spacing: literally, what you need to be aware of is the following units, as above, be sure to follow the document.
