When you start a project in Photoshop, you want to make sure that your workspace and your work environment is setup to optimize the time and effort you put into your project. The first thing that I would advise you to do, and one of the biggest mistakes that I see people making is having brightly colored screen backgrounds or monitor backgrounds. My background that I like to use is boring gray. A lot of people have cool pictures of their family or pets or whatever on their desktop, or they'll have a wild colored pattern, an orange pattern or green pattern or whatever. Very fun to look at in a background if you are typing a letter, but not very helpful, in fact downright not helpful, if you are doing imaging. And the reason is that having a background that has a strong color or brightness value will distort the colors in your image that you are working on. You want a gray background, so that any colors in your picture do not appear too bright or too dark. If you had a white background your picture might appear too dark, and conversely if you had a black background colors might appear too light. Similarly, if you have a colored background, if it was a warm color background, then the colors in your image might appear too cool. So I think you get the idea. A gray background is really what you want. You should work in consistently lit environment, and that's usually much harder to do than it sounds. But, quite frankly a lot a times people are working in office environments with big windows. And what happens is that during the day the lighting changes, so that your monitor might not change, but the relative colors and brightness of the image on your monitor change with the change in the office lighting. So the best kind of environment to work in is kind of like a dark cave with very minimal lights and no windows. Along with that, I recommend wearing dark black clothes preferably or neutral colored clothes, because even your clothes can cast a slight color cast on the screen. Finally, it may sound fairly obvious, but often what happens is you start a project and you lose sight of your project goals. It is very important to keep these goals in mind, because it will really speed up your work. Obviously if you are experimenting with Photoshop and learning the ins and outs of Photoshop, it's fine to mess around and play around. But when you are on a deadline, it's easy to stray off into an area, because Photoshop is like a gigantic mansion with so many rooms that you can easily get lost in it. But I recommend keeping your goals in sight when you are beginning and working on a project. So to recap, the best way to work in Photoshop is to keep a neutral colored background on your screen, and preferably a neutral and consistently lit room, and hopefully matching clothes that go with that.
