Hopefully so far so good. Now what I've done inside the Preferences dialog box is I just headed down to the next category there on the left-hand side, which is File Handling. So go ahead and pop open your File Handling Preferences category and you'll see we have two areas sort of divided top and bottom here. Inside the top we have the File Saving Options. What I can do here is we have Image Previews and the default here for Photoshop is Always Save. Now, do you know what an Image Preview is? It's sort of a, almost like a thumbnail version of your graphic or of your photo that gets saved out with your document so that when you're importing your document into another application or you're opening it into Photoshop you'll get a little preview of that file before you actually load it into the application, right. So, I always leave the default which is, again of course, Always Save and I like to save an Icon version myself. The other thing that I like to do is I like to make sure that we have a Macintosh Thumbnail as well as a Windows Thumbnail, that way I can share my files and my documents across Mac and Windows computers and both Mac and Windows computer users will have an image preview. Now the other thing that we have as well is Append File Extension and I would recommend leaving the default on this one which is Always. What that means is that let's say, for example, we're saving out a JPEG, right. This means that Photoshop is going to automatically add on jpeg onto the end of your file. Or let's say we're saving out a TIFF. Well again, Photoshop is going to add on .tif onto your document and I always use the lowercase extensions, but that's entirely up to you. And then below that we have some File Compatibility. Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for Supported Raw Files - if you know about Camera Raw you can certainly mess with that if you want. Ask Before Saving out Layered TIFF Files, TIFF files actually save out something called Layers here inside Photoshop which we'll be talking about a little bit later on. And then, if you use Version Cue, Adobe Version Cue, then you can certainly enable it here as well. So hopefully all good. Let's head to Performance. Go ahead over to the left-hand side and pop open your Performance category and we'll have a quick look here. What we have here in the top left corner is our Memory Usage. So there's my current Available RAM, 1963 megabytes. There's my Ideal Range, or my recommended range and then there's my current setting for Photoshop. So right now my computer is set to 1374 megs, which is 70 percent of my available RAM. Now if you want, you can come in here and use this slider to adjust the available RAM for Photoshop, or you can reduce or increase the amount of RAM just by using these buttons on the left and right sides. So that's entirely up to you. Now, below that we have something called Scratch Disks. Now I don't have any of my external hard drives connected to my computer right now, so all I have right now is my Mac hard drive which has a paltry amount of free space, just under 6 gigs of RAM available. So what happens is, once Photoshop uses up all of the available RAM it then turns to the Scratch Disks, or your hard drives, right. So if you want you can certainly make available some additional hard drives if you have them available for you. And then, over towards the top right, we have our History and Cache. Now we'll talk about History, I think, in a little while. Essentially what it is, is like an uber-undo, so we can back out of different tasks or performances that we've done and the default level of undos, if you will, or what Photoshop calls History States, is 20. So you can increase or decrease that depending on your available system resources. OK, I'm going to head down to the next category, which is Cursors. Now, when we're working inside Photoshop with the different Photoshop tools we can control or set how we'd like those Tool Cursors to appear, so we have our Painting Cursors here. We can go with Standard, which just gives us the standard Tool Cursor. We could go Precise, which gives us sort of a target, or a crosshair. Normal Brush Tip or Full Size Brush Tip and again, it's entirely up to you. I always go with Normal Brush Tip myself. And then over on the right-hand side we have Other Cursors - we have Standard and Precise. So, once again, it's entirely up to you. For these guys I usually just go with Standard. Hopefully all good.
