Photoshop tutorials for beginners Part - 01

Hi dear beginners, hope you all are doing just fine.

If you are new to Photoshop, you should set your photoshop first, you should know what is Photoshop preference, Photoshop window, Manu bar, Toolbar, Options bar, and panels.

1.     Please click on edit then preference then general after that this window will pop up.

    Please watch our tutorial (Click Here)

2.     In general, there is nothing much to change. If your layout doesn’t match with my layout,
You can change your layout.

3.     In the interface you can always change your interface’s color. Chose what you like. I prefer black.

4.     Workplace is good. Also, there is nothing much to change.

5.     In tools you check or uncheck anything. Like I need to zoom in or out my canvas anytime by using just the scroll wheel. I just need to click the scroll wheel and hit ok.

6.     History log: Don’t need to bother with this option.

7.     Now there is an option called file handling. Photoshop files will autosave after every 10 minutes or 5 minutes. I like to save my data every 5 minutes.

8.     Now in export we can set our quick export format. I like to set PNG and all the files will be transparent if there is no background behind the subject.

9.     Ok, now the most important part is called “performance” You can see I have 16 GB RAM; my system GPU needs 2 GB I have left 14GB but photoshop using only 6GB. I can set at least 10 GB and will be using other 4 GB for my Operating system and screen recorder or other apps running in the background.

I think 9 GB DDR4 2600 MHZ RAM is more than enough for handling photoshop.

You must check the “use graphics processor” and uncheck the “use open GL option” the reason is why I am unchecking the “use Open GL option” my select and mask or you can say refine edge tool is crashing continuously if I check the “use open GL option”.

10.  Now we are all set. Please hit the OK button.

11.  Now please go to file then new, from that window called “new Document” you can create a blank canvas. You can see here I have some custom layouts. These layouts are saved automatically by my previews work. You can set a name for your “New Document”. Width will be 1920px and Hight will be 1080px.

You can change the orientation. Your resolution will be 72px. You can create your “New Document” by pixels, inches, centimeter, millimeter, points, or picas. Now we will just work with pixels. Will see those actions later.

12.  The bitmap mode in Photoshop is most commonly used when printing line art, such as black-and-white logos, illustrations, or black-and-white effects you create from your RGB images. Also, you can scan your analog signature as a bitmap image and import it into other programs, such as the Microsoft Office programs. For the creative types, you can combine bitmap images with RGB color to produce many interesting effects.

13.  Photoshop converts the colors in the image to black, white, and shades of gray. Note: The technique above minimizes file size but discards color information and can convert adjacent colors to the exact same shade of gray.

14.  Color mood will be RGB. RGB means Red Green and Blue.
In addition to being the default mode for new Photoshop images, the RGB model is used by computer monitors to display colors. This means that when working in color modes other than RGB, such as CMYK, Photoshop converts the CMYK image to RGB for display on the screen.

15.  We use the CMYK mode when preparing an image to be printed using process colors. Converting an RGB image into CMYK creates a color separation. If you start with an RGB image, it's best to edit first in RGB and then convert to CMYK at the end of your editing process.

16.  The Lab color space is the most exact means of representing color and is device-independent. This accuracy and portability make it suitable in a number of different industries such as printing, automotive, textiles, and plastics.

17.  There is our new canvas. We can art anything here. Yes, anything. But we will not do that now. We need to learn more about our interface.

18.  This is our Manu bar. You can find all kinds of options or tools here.

19.  And this is our toolbar. and these are our layer panels. you can close any panel here. Expand tools settings. these are little tools here, very important for any Photoshopper.

20.  This is a ruler, you can measure your canvas for better editing skills with this option.

21.  Go to window, you can bring any new option or remove any option by using window. Just click checkmark or remove check mark. After messing with your window tab, I know you may have lost.

22.  All you have to do just go to window then workplace then hit “reset essential”.

After that you will see the interface is in default mood.

23.  Oh ho! Modifier keys won’t go. All you have to do go to window and uncheck the “Modifier key”.

Remember guys Photoshop is an art.

If you want to become an artist, you must practice every day.

Remember- Practice makes a man perfect.
