This task is a basic introduction to Photoshop and ImageReady. In this task, you launch each program and evaluate the general workspace.
Launch Photoshop
To launch Photoshop in Windows, click the Start button and choose Programs, Adobe, Photoshop 7.0, Adobe Photoshop 7.0. To launch Photoshop on a Mac, open the folder labeled Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and double-click the Adobe Photoshop 7.0 icon.
The Basic Photoshop Screen Areas
After closing the wizard, you'll see the full range of Photoshop controls arranged on your screen. The toolbox is on the left side of the screen and contains all the Photoshop tools. All the Photoshop palettes appear on the right side of the screen, and the menu bar appears across the top of the screen. The Options bar runs under the menu bar and contains the modifiers for each tool you select.
Launch ImageReady
To launch ImageReady in Windows, click the Start button and choose Programs, Adobe, Photoshop 7.0, Adobe ImageReady. To launch ImageReady on a Mac, open the folder labeled Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and double-click the Adobe ImageReady icon.
The Basic ImageReady Screen Areas
You will find that the ImageReady desktop looks very similar to the Photoshop desktop. Closer examination reveals that some of the tool icons and palettes are different, and that the Animation, Rollover, Image Map, and Style palettes appear in the lower-left corner of the screen.
How-To HintsPhotoshop or ImageReady? Because the desktops for Photoshop and ImageReady look so similar, you sometimes may wonder which application you're in. A quick way to verify your location is to look at the top of the toolbox. In Photoshop, the toolbox has a graphic featuring an eye; in ImageReady, the toolbox has a compass. Jumping from Photoshop to ImageReady Switching from Photoshop to ImageReady is as easy as clicking the Jump To button at the bottom of the toolbox. If you are in Photoshop when you click this button, ImageReady opens (if you haven't already launched ImageReady, clicking the Jump To button does that for you). If you're in ImageReady when you click Jump To, Photoshop opens (and launches, if necessary). On the Mac, press +Shift+M to jump from one application to the other; in Windows, press Ctrl+Shift+M. |

Examine a Group of Palettes
To open a palette in ImageReady or Photoshop, click the Window menu; while still holding the mouse button, choose the command related to the desired palette. To optimize your workspace, the application groups multiple palettes in a single window and separates them with tabs. If the palette you want is hidden, click its tab to bring it to the front of the window.
Collapse and Expand a Palette
To collapse or expand a palette, click the Minimize/Maximize button (in Windows) or the Resize button (on a Mac).
Resize a Palette
To resize most palettes (some cannot be resized), click and drag the lower-right corner of the window. To return a palette to its default size, click the Minimize/Maximize button (in Windows) or the Resize button (on a Mac).
Tools and the Options Bar
The Options bar in ImageReady and Photoshop is unique in that its content varies depending on the tool selected in the toolbox. By default, the Options bar runs across the top of the screen, docked just below the menu bar. Should you close it, you can reopen it by choosing Window, Options or by double-clicking a tool in the toolbox.
The Palette Menu
A palette menu lists options related to the functionality of the associated palette. To open any palette menu, click the black triangle in the upper-right corner of the palette; click again to make a selection from the list of options.
Use the Palette Shortcut Buttons
At the bottom of some palettes are shortcut buttons for easy access to common tasks. To find out what each button does, first make sure that the Show Tool Tips option is selected in the Options section of the General Preferences box (choose Edit, Preferences, General), and then position your mouse pointer over the button to read the description. Refer to Task 9, 'How to Set Photoshop Preferences,' for more information.
How-To HintsGrouping Palettes To move a palette into another palette group, click and hold the palette's tab and drag it to the target palette window. To separate a palette as a standalone window, click the tab and drag it to an empty area on the desktop. Note that the Options bar includes a palette well (the gray rectangle to the right of the bar; it is not shown in many figures in this book) that holds palettes and keeps their title tabs visible for easy access. Drag a palette to the well to add it, click once on its tab to expand or collapse it. Palette Placement As you open and reposition palettes, Photoshop remembers their size and where you used them last. To reset the palettes to their defaults each time you open them, choose Edit, Preferences, General; the General Preferences box opens. Disable the Save Palette Locations option. You must restart Photoshop before the changes take effect. |
