Photoshop Lesson Notes

• Open Photoshop- New- Drop down to international paper from the tab PRESET.
•      Ctrl+ and Ctrl-; zoom in and zoom out
•       View tab- rulers (Ctrl+R)
•   Use the move tool at the top of the tool list, click towards the ruler outline then drag towards the canvas to create symmetrical borders to aid in design process
•  LAYERS; when the layer is highlighted blue it means that is the one you are currently working on
• Ctrl+T- to apply a transformation to images, texts or shapes; the scale tool, keep your finger on the shift key to not pixelate/ keep the picture out of proportion.
• Text tool; keep them above all the other layers
•   Have certain texts/ sentences on different layers to be able to manipulate the text and show variation of different fonts and sizes.
•     Save as a photoshop file! don't chose .jpg unless it is finished.
•       If its saved as a .jpg it becomes one image, so all layers are combined, as a photoshop file all the layers will be remained till the cover is completely done.
