Shortcuts to Know

1. What are the short cut key(s) to add to a selection? Use with free transform to constrain proportions when resizing a selected object.

Shift

2. What are the short cut key(s) to subtract from a selection? Use with the Move tool to duplicate an object. Use with the elliptical marquee tool to select from the center out. Alt

3. What is the short cut key to Free Transform objects? Control + T

4. Name one way to apply a transformation. (You’ve done the transformation, how do you get Photoshop to take/apply it?)

Press Enter or Double Click

5. What is the shortcut key to deselect? Control + D

6. The short cut keys to hold when launching the program that will delete the previous program settings and replace them with the default settings. It is like you are opening the program for the first time.

Hold Control + Alt + Shift

7. What are the short cut key(s) to cancel what you are doing? Escape

8. What are the short cut key(s) to undo what you have done? Control + Z;Control + Alt + Z to undo multiple times

9. Use this key to change the brush size. Left and Right Bracket Keys

Photoshop Tool To Use

10. This tool allows you to drag a selection to a new location in the image. Move Tool

11. Use this tool to “paint a selection” using an adjustable round brush tip. As you drag, the selection expands outward and automatically finds and follows defined edges in the image.

Quick Selection Tool

12. When you use the magic wand to make a selection, what is the selection based upon? Similar Colored

Digital Media Name ____________________Adobe Photoshop Handout

Changing the Magic Wand’s tolerance setting (on the options bar) alters the range of colors that it will select. Works best with high contrast between object and background.

Pixels

13. This tool allows you to make a selection based on a shape; squares, rectangles or circles/ovals.

Marquee Tool

14. To make a custom, free-hand selection, use the lasso tool. Use the polygonal lasso for extracting pieces of photos that have straight edges or a polygonal shape (triangles) to them. This tool works similarly to the other lasso tools, but it has special powers that can detect areas of contrast and it will snap to the edges of the object you're trying to select. Works well when there are distinct edges, contrast, and the object is an odd shape. As with all lasso tools you must end where you begin.

Magnetic Lasso

15. Uses pixels from one area of an image to replace the pixels in another part of the image. You can remove unwanted objects from the image and fill in missing areas. Use Alt to sample pixels. Choose sample points often, and as usual when using a brush, remember to experiment with brush size.

Clone Stamp

16. Similar to the Clone stamp, except that it blends the sample pixels and the painting area so that the restoration is subtle. Use Alt to sample pixels.

Healing Brush

17. Works similarly to the Healing Brush: it paints with sampled pixels from an image or pattern and matches the texture, lighting, transparency, and shading of the sampled pixels to the pixels being healed. Unlike the Healing Brush, this brush doesn’t require you to specify a sample spot, it automatically samples from around the retouched area.

Spot Healing Brush

18. Works like the healing brush except that instead of using a brush, you drag a marquee around an area and then drag the marquee over another area to mend the flawed area

Patch Tool

19. This tool removes red eye in flash photos. Zoom in on eyes, select the tool and click on the red eye. Adjust the pupil size and the darken amount (on the options bar) if necessary.

Red Eye Tool

20. Paints pixels from a designated previous state or snapshot that you select in the History palette.

History Brush

21. This tool allows you to select an area of an image to keep and discard everything outside this area.

Crop

22. This tool changes pixels to either the background color or to transparent. Choose either the pencil or brush mode. The Magic Eraser changes all similar color pixels to transparent usually with one click. The Background Eraser erases pixels on a layer to transparency as you drag, this should allow you to erase the background while maintaining the edges of the objects in the foreground.

Eraser Tools

23. Darkens pixels in any area of the image Burn24. Lightens the highlights to bring out details – lightens pixels Dodge25. Saturate or desaturate color – makes colors more or less intense Sponge

Terms and Techniques to know

26. What type of program is Photoshop? Photo/Image Editing

27. What is the file extension for Photoshop? psd

28. What is the common file extension used for compressing image files of photographs so they aren’t as “large” in file size allowing for easy transfer over networks and web pages?

jpg

29. Enables you to manipulate layers simultaneously (together)? Link

30. Name two things you can do when you are in Free Transform. Rotate, resize, flip

31. The term that means without color/value (0% opacity) Transparent

32. How color pixels blend with layers below them Blending Mode33. Degree of transparency Opacity34. Effects used to enhance a layer such as drop shadow, outer glow, or a stroke. Layer Styles or

Effects35. A gradual transition between two or more colors, or sometimes from one color to

transparency, is called aGradient

36. Bottommost layer in the Layers palette. A file can have only one of them. You cannot change the stacking order of this special layer, its blending mode, or its opacity. However, you can convert it to a regular layer by renaming it.

Background

37. Refers to the number of small squares known as pixels (picture elements) that describe an image and establish its detail. Resolution is determined by pixel dimensions, the number of pixels along the width and height of an image. Measured in pixels per inch (ppi)

Resolution

38. Computer image made up of pixels. Photoshop is the most common raster program. These graphics can display much detail (such as photographs). Can be jpg, tiff, or psd format
