How to use Photoshop:
1. Open up Photoshop and click on file and select
new, this will open up a rectangular box, then select preset and click on
international paper, then select OK, this will then automatically create a new
document for you so that you can use the Photoshop software.
2. You can use the control button (Ctrl) to zoom in
and zoom out onto your work. Ctrl along with the – sign to zoom out and Ctrl
with the + sign zoom in. Ctrl T
(transformers button) you can move/edit the image you have, however, keep your
finger on the shift key at all times when using this key.
3. To set rulers on your document you need to
select ‘view’ on top of the Photoshop software and click on ‘rulers’, this will
then give you rulers and you can then align your lines on your paper.
4. Layers- if one of your layer list is blue, then
it means it is active and you are currently using that layer to edit your work.
Important tip: make sure the texts have different layers, otherwise you will
get confused and it will be difficult to use. You can also double click on the
text layers to add a text colour or glow to your text box.
5. Type tool- make sure your text is above the
image otherwise your text will be placed behind the image layer- you can alter
this through the layer list.
6. Save as Photoshop, not as jpeg otherwise you
cannot change or alter the work again, until you have are fully finished using
Photoshop only then you can transport it into a jpeg file without having to
alter or edit your work again.
