Subtitles of the Movie

The final area to explore here inside the Photoshop Interface is the actual Document Window itself. I don't mean the photograph, I mean the frame that the photograph sits inside, right. So, by the way if you want, you can move this guy around inside Photoshop just by dragging on this, I guess you could say the Title Bar across the top, just click and drag on that guy, no big deal. Of course, up in the top corner you have your Close and your Minimize and your Maximize buttons. Of course, over on the Windows side they're in the opposite corner. They're over here, so hopefully no big deal. And then the other thing that I have, of course, is the Title area in the top center of your Document Window. What I have there is the Filename, Getting Started.jpg. And then I have some cryptic information here, an at symbol and then a percentage number there, so at 66.7 percent. What does that mean? Well, that's the zoom setting that I'm currently at. If I head back up to the Application Bar, there's my Zoom setting again, or the Zoom Level as Photoshop calls it. So that's all that that number means is simply the Zoom Level. And then in brackets I have RGB / 8. What the heck does that mean? Well, RGB is a color space. It's a way to describe color and it stands for Red, Green and Blue. Now we'll talk about Color Spaces and Color Modes in a little while, but just kind of hang onto that thought, but this is your Color Space that we're currently in. And the 8 represents the bit depth, or the bit level that we have for this particular image, so there's 8 Bits of color information per color Channel inside our photo right now. So check this out. I'm going to head up to the Image Menu here and then down to Mode and sure enough, inside the Mode Submenu I see RGB Color and 8 Bits of color per Channel. So that's what that information means in case you were wondering what all that cryptic stuff means. Now what else do we have inside our Document window? Well, of course what I can do is I can expand and contract the size of the Document Window. That's pretty easy stuff so you can certainly mess with that if you want. And then, running across the bottom, I'll start in the bottom left corner, we have our Zoom Level, or our Zoom percentage, once again, a little zoom field there. And then I have this area here and mine right now reads Doc 1.05M/1.05M. What that means is that's your file size, right. So the document right now is just over 1 megabyte in file size. So that's kind of neat to know, but let me show you something else here. Now all I'm going to do is I'm going to bring my mouse over top of this area and try just single clicking with your mouse. Now when you click, click and hold with your mouse. Don't single click otherwise it's just going to open and close real quick. Click and hold with your mouse like this and you get this little info fly-up, or info pop-up window and we get some very useful information about our document. So right now our photo is 720 pixels in Width by 512 pixels in Height. It has three Color Channels, we just talked about this - R, G and B - and there's 8 bits of color per channel, right, that's how that works. And then we also have a Resolution of 72 pixels per inch. Alright now, let' me show you something else here. I'm going to head over to this arrow here. Go ahead and click on that guy and we get an additional fly-out menu with a Show Submenu. This little Show Submenu here controls what's going to show up over here. The default is Document Sizes, hence why we get the File Size, right, but what I could do, I suppose, is I could go down to Document Dimensions and now what I see in this area is 720 pixels by 512 pixels at 72 pixels per inch, or ppi. Right? That's kind of cool. You can set this to whatever you want. For example, I could go Current Tool if I want and then right now it says Move. Well, what does that mean? Well that means that I currently have the Move Tool selected inside the Toolbox. I could switch to the Clone Stamp Tool for example and it'll tell me which tool I'm currently on down there, which is kind of cool. You can leave that set to whatever you want and again, all I do is I pop open this little fly-out menu down to Show and then choose whichever one you want. I'm going to go back to the default, though which, of course, the Document Sizes.
