20 Adobe Photoshop Basics Making edits Photoshop and ImageReady are equipped with a rich collection of editing tools and commands that you can use to modify your images. In addition to basic edits such as repositioning or applying geometric changes to a selection, you can create an unlimited variety of special effects using the Filter commands. Resize the image To change the dimensions or resolution of your image, choose Image > Image Size and specify values for the image: • For an image intended for the Web or online display, enter values for the pixel dimensions and click OK. • (Photoshop) For an image intended for printed output, enter values for the physical output size. Enter the resolution value recommended for your press or desktop printer, and click OK. Move a selection To move a selected pixel area, select the move tool ( ) in the toolbox. Position the pointer inside the selection, and drag the selection to a new location.
Duplicate a selection You can also use the move tool to duplicate a selection. With the move tool selected, simply Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the selection to copy it. Duplicating a selection Rotating a selection Apply a transformation The transformation commands let you make geometric changes—such as resizing, rotations, shears, distortions, and reflections—to a selection. To apply a transformation, do one of the following: • Choose the desired command from the Edit > Transform menu. (In Photoshop, this menu changes to Edit > Transform Path if a vector shape is selected.) • Select the move tool ( ), and select Show Bounding Box in the options bar. If applicable, drag the handles that appear around the selection to achieve the desired effect. Then press Enter or Return to apply the transformation. You can even choose additional transformation commands before you press Enter or Return, adjusting the handles for each command to achieve a cumulative effect. Apply a filter Photoshop and ImageReady provide a generous array of filters for creating all kinds of special effects—from blurs and ripples to mosaics, brushlike patterns, and other artistic effects. To apply a filter to a pixel selection, select a command from a submenu in the Filter menu. (If no selection exists, the filter is applied to the entire layer.) ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 User Guide 21
