Subtitles of the Movie

If you are planning on making a composite image or working with more than one document, you'll probably open all the documents you need to work with. And I want to show you a few techniques allowing you to better manage the document viewing. Remember at the bottom area of your screen, we have 3 different viewing modes, and these viewing modes apply to whichever is the current working document. The current working document is the one with the gray title bar out lined here and text is in black, this is our current document. In Photoshop, you can only work in one document at a time. However, you can have multiple documents opened in the background, such as this picture of the snail and my dandelion back here. You know that these are not the current document because they are behind my current document, and also their text is grayed out. So with that in mind, I'm just going to take a quick tour of our viewing modes here. We've got my favorite viewing mode, which is the full screen mode. Puts my image on a gray background, so it's a little bit less distracting. And finally, if I am at a stopping point or I want to look at my image without anything on the screen, I can put the entire image on black. And that's this next or last viewing mode. And I can also hit the tab key to hide all of the tools and see my image by itself. So I'm going to hit the tab key again to bring back the tool palettes and menu's palette. At any time of course I can hit the tab key and hide all of the tools. But in these other viewing modes of course, you're still seeing the menu options at the top of the screen. So I'm going to go back to the standard viewing mode. And show you some other ways you can manage your documents. Of course, you can always click on any other document and that will then be the current working document. And in this way, we can resize the documents by zooming out. I'm going to choose my zoom tool and hold down the option key, and click the zoom tool, which of course zooms out. One of my options is to resize window to fit, there we go, so now my window is contracting or expanding to be the same size as the actual image. Another thing we can do, is under the window menu documents, we have a few options here - one is cascade. And it will line up all of my images in a cascade, as it will. Another option under the window menu documents is tile. And it will try to optimize your screen space to show you all the images at once. And remember that whichever image has the gray title bar popped out is the current active image. So very often you can look at multiple images by tiling. And another nice feature is if you are working with a high res image, say and you are doing some fine detailed work. Another option under the window menu documents is new window. And it will create a new window of the exact same image you are working on. So in this case, I can see a small version while I am working on the larger version. And I very often do this when I'm doing some fine retouching using the clone tool. And as soon as I'm done making an edit and let go of my mouse button, it updates in the smaller version, or my new window right here. It's a great of seeing how the overall effect looks.
