The introduction to Photoshop CS2 Menu

Adobe photoshop CS2 Software is a professional image editing standard and a flagship product for Photoshop Digital Image processing products.

Although there is no doubt that you want to do some of the photos yourself and want to play your potential right away, I suggest that you should focus on how Photoshop works. First make sure that your Photoshop CS2 is installed correctly and that you have a good view of the various aspects of the program in advance so that you have a basic understanding of its tools and layouts so that we can be more convenient and proficient in the future when we really operate.

When you are ready to start your Photoshop trip, log in beforehand by double-clicking the Photoshop icon. When the Photoshop load is complete, its menu bar, Toolbox, and four control floating panels appear on the screen. Figure 1 shows the appearance of the Photoshop CS2 under Windows, as shown in the figure:

First, let's learn how to create a new document. If you don't have a document open in Photoshop CS2, any of its tools and options are not operational, so first we choose "New" in the File menu bar and you can hold down the CTRL key and double-click the left mouse button to pop up a new File dialog box. We set up a 500-pixel, 360-pixel-high document that is appropriate for most display workspaces, as shown in Figure 2:

In the first Name column, you can enter a topic for the document you want. To the right of the width and Height fields, you can select "inches, millimeters, centimeters, dots, and pies" by pressing the DOWN ARROW pop-up menu. To access the pop-up menu, Mac users simply click anywhere in the pop-up menu, and Windows users must click the pop-up menu Drop-down button.

If the width is not set to 500, the height is not set to 360, now let's enter these values. Select it by clicking on the "width" field, and then enter 500. Press the TAB key, move the cursor to the Height field, and enter 360. The cursor movement between the fields can be clicked by using the mouse or by pressing the TAB key.

We generally set the "resolution" to 72 pixels per inch. Photoshop CS2 the 72ppi as the default, because most monitors display 72 pixels per inch in the screen area. In other words, the document is set to the same resolution as the monitor. If your setting is not 72ppi, change it to 72. If you increase the resolution, height, or width of the value, then the size of the image will also increase. In our actual operation we try to avoid large images, because the large image in the operation is very bulky, slow response, and it will also reduce the speed of the computer.

In the mode option, it should be set to the RGB color (red/green/blue). Photoshop CS2 the RGB color as the default, because RGB is the standard color mode for video display colors. In RGB mode, colors are composed of three colors, red, green and blue. All of the drawing and editing properties of Photoshop CS2 are valid when set to RGB color mode. If your computer is not set to RGB color mode, you can set the RGB color by clicking the "mode" pop-up menu and selecting "RGB Color".

If you want the new layer background to be white, click the "White" button in the combo box. If you choose the background color option, the background color that the Photoshop CS2 last used will be the back color of your new document. If you choose "Transparent", you will work on a background layer with no color values, when we click OK to close the New dialog box, a new document window will appear on your screen with the name of the file (untitled), the current display mode, and the magnification in the window's subject bar. You can scroll, resize, and close the Photoshop CS2 window, or you can move the window to where you want it by clicking and dragging the theme bar. We can also enlarge the picture by selecting "View" ︱ "zoom in" or press CTRL + + "+", select "View" ︱ "Zoom Out" or press CTRL + "-" to zoom out.

Second, Photoshop CS2 menu

The menu bar of the Photoshop CS2 contains 9 drop-down menus. The more familiar Photoshop CS2 features, the more you will choose the correct work path when you manipulate Photoshop CS2. The following sections describe the 9 Pull-down menus in the Photoshop CS2 menu.
