Photoshop Q&A

What are the five key decisions involved in creating a new image?
Image Name, Image Width and Height, Image Resolution , Image Mode , and Image Contents

Why edit images in 24-bit color depth if ultimately they will be 8-bit images on the Internet?
If you work in a bit-depth of 8, many of Photoshop ’s advanced features, such as using Filters , resizing images, and re-coloring images are either not available or do not operate effectively.

Why would you use the Magnification /Navigation controls?
They allow you to edit the small details in an image and zoom in on your image content.


What does double-clicking the zoom tool do? 
Double-clicking the Zoom tool automatically sets your image to 100% magnification.

What happens when you hold down the space bar in Photoshop while the pointer is over an image window?
holding down the space bar makes the hand tool available no matter which tool you are currently using.


What is a Snapshot  in the History Palette ?
The Snapshot  is a record of the image complete with all the modifications you have performed on it.

What are states in the History panel?
A record of all changes made to the image or snapshot.

Does the image window display the physical demensions of an image?
If you hold down the Alt (option) key while clicking on the document information section, a pop-up window will display it.

How is opening a vector file in Photoshop different from opening a bitmap file?
The Rasterize Generic EPS Format dialog will be displayed and you must set the width, height, resolution and colour mode you want to work in. Once you set these options and click OK, Photoshop will convert the vector image to pixels.
