What are the new features of PS 6?

The overall feeling is one more attribute, and the interface of the control Panel also changes. PS6.0 This upgrade features a lot of change, to make it clear that must write a book can be, here only the most important part-the toolbox (Toolbox). We used to use the toolbox before each tool is selected, in the Control Panel or pop-up dialog box to modify the appropriate options. This has changed a lot in PS 6.0, when a user selects a tool, the top property bar changes to the response item, such as when the gradient tool is selected in the following figure, and the property bar displays options such as gradient, gradient type, mode, and so on, and the user chooses to make a gradient directly. This is also true when typing text, rather than having to pop up a dialog box like before. This change may need to be used for a period of time to adapt. The submenu bar in the Toolbox also changes to a text description. The newly added tool, the PS6.0, has been increased by three, which is the cut-diagram tool, the Polygon tool, and the annotation tool.

Chettu tools: And ImageReady is basically the same, it seems that later to complete the cut map does not need to start the imageready.

Polygon Tool: Users can use the tool to generate various graphics. In addition, the direct tool also belongs to the tool of the Tao.

Annotation tool: When you are working on a complex graphic, you can add comments directly to the image, record some data, practices, etc. to avoid forgetting later. Users can add text annotations, and when clicked on the annotation icon, they can see the annotation in the pop-up window. If sometimes it's not clear in words, you can even talk directly to the microphone and record the notes.

In addition to the Toolbox, PS6.0 in the Layer function, file open save, image adjustment also has a small improvement.

Can you introduce some basic concepts in PS?

Photoshop: It is one of the graphics processing series software developed by Adobe, which is mainly used in image processing, advertising design of a computer software. It was first used on the Apple Machine (MAC) and later developed for window version. Here are some basic concepts in the software.

Bitmap: Also known as raster, commonly used for photographic quality image processing, is composed of many like small squares of the same "pixel" graphics. indicated by its position and color value, can show the change of Color shadow. Photoshop is used primarily for processing bitmaps.

Vector graphs: Usually cannot provide the image physical property that produces the photograph, generally uses in the engineering to hold the operation drawing. such as the quality of the light is difficult to display in a vector map.

Resolution: The pixel per unit length is called the resolution of the image, simply speaking, that is, the computer's image to the reader to see the clear and fuzzy, there are many kinds of resolution. such as screen resolution, scanner resolution, print resolution.

Image size and image size and resolution of the relationship: such as large image size, resolution, large file, the memory of large, computer processing speed will be slow, on the contrary, any one factor reduction, processing speed will be accelerated.

Channel: In PS, the channel refers to the range of colors, in general, a basic color is a channel. such as RGB color, R is red, so the R channel range is red, G is green, B is blue.

Layers: In PS, generally are used to multiple layers to make each layer as if it is a transparent paper, stacked together is a complete image. Modifying each layer does not have any effect on the other layers.

Color mode of the image:

1 RGB color mode: Also called the color mode, is the best screen display color, composed of red, green, blue three colors, each color can have 0-255 brightness changes.

2 CMYK color mode: By royal blue, magenta, yellow and yellow composition, also known as subtractive mode. General printing output and printing are this mode, so print pictures are generally using CMYK mode.

3 HSB Color Mode: The color is decomposed into hue, saturation and brightness by adjusting hue, saturation and brightness to get color and change.

4 Lab Color Mode: This pattern describes a hue by a light intensity and two tones as a, and another hue is called B. It mainly affects the hue and shade. General RGB conversion to CMYK are first transformed by lab.

5 Index Color: This color image pixel with a byte indicates that it contains up to 256 colors of the color table stored and indexed its color, it image quality is not high, occupy less space.

6 Grayscale mode: That is, only black and white display image, pixel 0 value is black, pixel 255 is white.

7 Bitmap mode: Pixels are not represented by bytes, but binary representations, that is, black and white are represented by binary, which accounts for the smallest disk space.

PS 6 What is the bar that appears in the upper-right corner when the screen resolution is higher than 800x600?

How do I get rid of the pattern of a picture?

A: (1) sweep a picture of a pictorial or magazine.

In general, the formation of the mesh is due to the pictorial or magazine printing paper texture is more coarse and caused. The DPI value should be set higher when scanning, the higher the resolution, the larger the image scanned, and the higher the relative fineness. A higher resolution creates good conditions for the next step in image reduction and filter processing.

(2) Adjust the picture to the appropriate size.

Under the Image menu, select the image size option to eject the Image Size dialog box to determine if the constrain proportions limit option is checked, and the pixels after the width in pixel Dimensions pixel dimensions Pixel, to percent percent. At this point the width value becomes 100, at which point you can enter the desired percentage value to reduce the picture. The reduced pattern has diminished slightly.

(3) Eliminate the net pattern with Gauss Blur.

Select Show Channels in the Window menu, and the channel panel appears, with four channels RGB, Red, green, and blue respectively. Select the red channel and the picture appears as black and white. Select Blur→gaussian Blur in the Filter menu, which pops up the Gaussian virtual dialog box. The RADIUS value is adjusted to control the scope of the blur so that the lines in the red channel are almost invisible and the picture content is slightly blurry. The green and blue channels are then adjusted separately in this way to make the mesh in the channel disappear. Finally returned to the RGB channel, at this time the picture has no net ripple interference. (Note: Radius values cannot be set too large to cause an excessive effect on the RGB channel to dim the picture.)

(4) Adjust the final effect.

If the mesh is too clear to cause the radius value to be set larger, the picture in the RGB channel is somewhat blurry. If you want to make the contents of a picture clearer, you can also perform shapen->shapen clear effects in the filter menu. Finally, use the adjust->levels or curves options in the Image menu to set the value of the contrast you need to achieve the final satisfactory result.

1. Make full use of memory

Any kind of image processing software requires a high amount of memory, as does Photoshop. If you're using Photoshop with no other big software, you can increase Photoshop's memory footprint. The method is: Photoshop, select the menu under Filepreferencememory & Image Cache command, the used by Photoshop ratio to 80%~90% can be improved.

Specifying virtual memory

When working with Photoshop, it is normal to run out of memory, which will greatly affect how much time Photoshop handles the image. The method is: You can use the hard disk as a memory, which is often said virtual memory. Please select the "Filepreferenceplug-ins & Scratch Disks" command under the menu. Under the scratch disks, you can specify four drives on your hard disk as virtual memory, and the software's default virtual memory is under Windows EMP. When the first virtual memory is used, Photoshop automatically uses the second scratch Dsik, which increases execution speed.

Free up memory and hard disk space

When you do image processing, all of the actions you do will be recorded in the history (history) panel of Photoshop. These operations include: Copy to Clipboard (pasteboard), Undo (Restore), pattern (filler), Histories (record) and so on, select the menu "Editpurge" command.

After doing so, Photoshop saves the images and data in memory, and after using the command, releases the memory space (RAM: "oh! Freeden ") This allows Photoshop to have more resource (resources) available, which naturally improves efficiency. But note that if these operations take up less memory, there is no need to use them!

In addition, in processing large pictures, Photoshop will automatically generate some temporary files, generally very large, if you are dealing with a 20MB size of the poster, then the temporary file may be 100~150mb. Please delete the resulting Photoshop temporary file *.tmp in the Windows EMP or in the drive where you set the virtual memory.
