Adobe Photoshop Basics
Monitor your work status As you experiment with
different tools, commands, and image views,
check out the status bar at the bottom edge of the
document window. This area displays useful
information about your work status, such as the
current magnification percentage or the name of
the currently selected tool. You can specify the type
of information displayed by using the pop-up
menu in the status bar.
Display the Info palette For convenient access to additional information about your image, display the
Info palette by choosing Window > Show Info. The Info palette displays information about the color
values in the image beneath the pointer and, depending on the tool in use, other useful measurements.
Streamlining your workflow
Photoshop and ImageReady provide a number of convenient features to help your work flow more smoothly.
The Jump To button makes it easy to work on the same image seamlessly in both Photoshop and ImageReady.
The Undo command and History palette let you correct editing mistakes. And the Actions palette lets
you save sequences of commonly used tasks so that you can perform them automatically on an image or
batch of images.
Switch between Photoshop and ImageReady
You can easily jump between Photoshop and
ImageReady when working on an image to use the
full feature sets of both applications. To switch to
either application, click the Jump To button in
the toolbox.
