Photoshop - Week 1
WTAP 110 - Introduction to Photoshop
| Question | Answer | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Project Setup | The initial process of creating a new project in Photoshop, including setting the document size, resolution, and color mode. | Setting up a new project with dimensions of 1920x1080 pixels, 300 dpi, and RGB color mode for a digital design. |
| Adjusting Gridlines | Modifying the grid settings in Photoshop to align elements precisely. Gridlines help with layout and alignment. | Adjusting the gridline spacing to 10 pixels to ensure elements are evenly spaced in the design. |
| Adjusting Image Size | Changing the dimensions of an image in Photoshop without distorting its content. | Resizing an image from 2000x3000 pixels to 1000x1500 pixels while maintaining its aspect ratio. |
| Cropping Image | Trimming the edges of an image to remove unwanted areas or to focus on a specific part. | Cropping a photo to remove distracting elements from the background. |
| Duplicating Layers | Creating a copy of an existing layer in Photoshop, allowing for non-destructive editing and experimentation. | Duplicating a background layer to make adjustments without altering the original image. |
| Content Selection & Fill | Selecting specific parts of an image and filling them with a different color, pattern, or content. | Using the lasso tool to select a sky area and filling it with a gradient to create a sunset effect. |
| Save File | Saving the current state of a project to ensure all changes are preserved. | Saving a Photoshop project as a .psd file to keep all layers and adjustments editable. |
| Opening and Saving Files | The process of accessing existing images and documents in Photoshop and saving changes or new projects. | Opening a .jpg file in Photoshop and saving it as a .psd file after editing. |
| Image Resolution | The amount of detail an image holds, usually measured in pixels per inch (ppi) or dots per inch (dpi). | Setting the resolution to 300 dpi for high-quality print output. |
| File Formats | Different types of file extensions used for saving images, each with its own advantages and limitations. | Saving an image as a .jpg for web use or a .tiff for high-quality print. |
| Basic Color Correction | Adjusting the colors in an image to improve its appearance, balance, and accuracy. | Using the levels adjustment to enhance the contrast and brightness of a photo. |
| Basic Image Manipulation | Fundamental techniques for editing and enhancing images in Photoshop, including cropping, resizing, and color adjustments. | Removing blemishes from a portrait using the healing brush tool. |
| Image Resolution and File Formats | Understanding the quality and types of image files and how to appropriately save and export them. | Choosing between .jpg, .png, and .gif formats based on the intended use of the image. |
| Cropping and Straightening Images | Trimming and aligning images to improve composition and orientation. | Using the crop tool to remove unwanted edges and straighten a tilted photo. |
| Pixel | The smallest unit of a digital image, representing a single point of color. | A 1920x1080 image has 2,073,600 pixels. |
| Raster Image | An image made up of a grid of individual pixels, each with its own color value. | A photograph is typically a raster image. |
| Vector Image | An image created using mathematical formulas to define shapes, lines, and colors, which can be scaled without losing quality. | A logo designed in Adobe Illustrator is a vector image. |
| Color Modes | Different methods for representing colors in digital images, such as RGB for screens and CMYK for printing. | Using RGB color mode for a digital design that will be viewed on a screen. |
| CMYK | A color mode used in printing that stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black). | Converting an RGB image to CMYK before sending it to a printer. |
| RGB | A color mode used for digital displays that stands for Red, Green, and Blue. | Designing a website using the RGB color mode for optimal display on screens. |
| Photoshop | A graphic design and photo editing software developed by Adobe. Photoshop is used for image manipulation, graphic design, digital art, and photo retouching. It offers a range of tools and features for creating, editing, and enhancing digital images. | Using Photoshop to retouch a portrait, create a digital painting, or design a website layout. |
| PSD (Photoshop Document) | The native file format for Adobe Photoshop. It supports multiple layers, masks, and various color modes, and retains all editing capabilities for future adjustments. | Saving a project as a .psd file to preserve layers and continue editing later. |
| JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) | A commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. It reduces file size significantly with some loss of quality. | Saving a photo as a .jpg file for use on a website to reduce loading time. |
| PNG (Portable Network Graphics) | A raster-graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. PNG files support transparency, making them ideal for web graphics. | Saving a logo with a transparent background as a .png file for use on a website. |
| TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) | A flexible, adaptable file format for handling images and data within a single file, using lossless compression. TIFF is widely used in printing and publishing. | Saving a high-resolution image as a .tiff file for professional printing. |
| GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) | A bitmap image format that supports up to 256 colors and animations. GIFs are commonly used for simple graphics and short animations on the web. | Creating a short looping animation and saving it as a .gif file for social media. |
| WEBP | A modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. It helps reduce file size without compromising quality. | Converting a .jpg image to .webp format to improve website performance by reducing file size. |
| AI (Adobe Illustrator Artwork) | A proprietary vector image format developed by Adobe Systems for representing single-page vector-based drawings. AI files can be scaled infinitely without loss of quality. | Creating a scalable vector logo and saving it as an .ai file. |
| EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) | A vector file format that includes both vector image data and raster image data, widely used in professional printing and graphic design. | Exporting a vector graphic as an .eps file for use in print media. |
| SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) | An XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. SVG files are widely used on the web because they are scalable and lightweight. | Creating a responsive website icon and saving it as an .svg file. |
| PDF (Portable Document Format) | A versatile file format developed by Adobe that can capture and display documents and graphics independent of the application, operating system, or hardware used to create them. PDFs can include text, images, and vector graphics. | Saving a multi-page document with images and text as a .pdf file for easy sharing and printing. |
