Photoshop CC - Beginners

Explore the Photoshop workspace and the menu bar, including the file and windows menus, panels, and the workspace switcher, with tips to reset essentials and customize workspaces.

Master how the options bar adapts to each tool, adjusting fill, stroke, text options, and move settings, while layers and auto select streamline editing with transform controls.

Explore the left side tools panel, double it to reveal all tools, and use corner arrows to access hidden tools; hover to preview shapes, text options, and color settings.

Explore the artboard, your drawing canvas where everything inside is printed or viewed, while anything outside remains hidden. Use the edges for full bleed and design that reaches the edge.

Cover the status bar in Photoshop, showing document size, dimensions, pixels per inch, and zoom percentage with practical examples of 100% and oversized views.

Learn how Photoshop CC panels give precise control, focusing on the layers panel, visibility toggles, and docking versus floating setups, with the workspace switcher to reset essentials.

Explore the Photoshop document window, manage multiple documents, adjust zoom and RGB color mode, save files, and place external images into designs using the move tool, creating new layers.
