Subtitles of the Movie

[00:00:00.0] Ok, now that you know how some of the tools work in Photoshop, [00:00:03.0] you're probably ready to get going and start editing some pictures. For this last movie in the Intro section [00:00:10.0] I want to show you how to open a file or create a new file under the File menu. [00:00:16.0] There are two options I can choose to create a brand new blank image to do some image editing. [00:00:25.0] File>New and it bring up a dialog box asking me to type in some parameters for my new document. [00:00:34.0] I can give it a name, or I can choose not to give it name [00:00:42.0] and worry about that later when I save the document. And it also asks me some size parameters - [00:00:48.0] how many inches wide and tall that do I want to make it? [00:00:54.0] Currently I have 6 selected here; I could also choose different ways of measuring it. [00:01:02.0] Do I want to measure in terms of pixels, centimeters, points, picas or columns? [00:01:09.0] I usually stick to inches or pixels, depending if I am doing some web image editing. [00:01:15.0] And what is my resolution? Notice that if I change any of these parameters, [00:01:21.0] this number right here, image size, changes to tell me how big this image will be. [00:01:26.0] So if I click 8 my image is getting larger. [00:01:29.0] And also if I choose to change my resolution, say 300 if I'm doing a print project, this number is changed also. [00:01:41.0] I think I'll stick to 72 since I am doing all work on my screen right here. [00:01:46.0] What color model do I want to create this image in - RGB, grayscale bitmap, CMYK or LAB color? [00:01:56.0] For the most part, I am going to work in RGB considering the output device - [00:02:01.0] I am currently using this computer monitor as an RGB device. [00:02:06.0] Choose if you want a white background, or do you want the background color currently selected, [00:02:14.0] which in this case is white, or if you want to work on a transparent layer. [00:02:18.0] For now I will just choose white. [00:02:20.0] And here is my new image, and I can make some marks and start editing right now. [00:02:28.0] I could also open up an image that I have previously scanned in - File menu>Open, [00:02:37.0] and it brings up a dialog box asking me to pick a picture that I have already scanned in. [00:02:44.0] So I could just select that by clicking on the name or using the arrow keys to move up and down. [00:02:52.0] This brings up a typical open or save dialog box, allowing you to navigate your computer's hard drive directory structure. [00:03:04.0] So here are my objects on my desktop, but I've put all my pictures in this particular folder. [00:03:12.0] So I'm going to double click on it and choose the picture of the apple to open. [00:03:18.0] And there you go - we're ready to do some image editing. [00:03:26.0] [00:03:26.0]
