Photoshop Skills
Now that we have a PSD (Photoshop file) saved in our project folder (right?) let's go over a few essentials:
- Your "Essentials" workspace can easily get disorganized. You can reset it just as easily.
- Many slots on the toolbar have more than one tool that "lives there" - click and hold to see them.
- Photoshop keeps a History of your actions - see exactly what Ctrl-Z is undoing.
- Spell checking can be done manually in Photoshop - text layers must be visible to be checked.
- The "Character" panel has a wealth of control options for your text - very powerful stuff.
- The "Stroke" Blending Option has the biggest impact on legibility - use it to outline your text.
