Using online Help

For complete information about using palettes, tools, and the application features, you can use online Help. Photoshop Help includes all the same topics and information as in the printed Adobe Photoshop 7.0 User Guide.

Adobe Photoshop and Adobe ImageReady each include complete documentation in online Help, plus keyboard shortcuts, full-color galleries of examples, and more detailed information about some procedures.

Online Help is easy to use, because you can look for topics in several ways:

  • Scanning a table of contents.

  • Searching for keywords.

  • Using an index.

  • Jumping from topic to topic using related topic links.

First you’ll try looking for a topic using the Contents screen.

1.
Display online Help, choose Help > Photoshop Help (Photoshop) or Help > ImageReady Help (ImageReady).

Note

In Windows, you can also open Photoshop Help by pressing F1.

Your browser opens. The topics for the Photoshop 7.0 online Help system appear in the left frame of your browser window.

2.
In the left frame of the Help window, scroll down to skim through the Help contents. The contents are organized in a hierarchy of topics, just like the chapters of a book.

3.
Near the top of the list of topics in the left pane, click Looking at the Work Area. The “Looking at the Work Area” Help topic appears in the right pane.

4.
In the right pane, click Using the toolbox to open that topic.

5.
Near the bottom of the “Using the toolbox” topic, click Toolbox overview (1 of 3) to open that topic. An illustration of various tools appears with brief descriptions of each tool.

The online Help topics are interactive. You can click any text link to jump to another topic. Whenever you move the mouse pointer over a link or a hotspot, the mouse pointer changes to a pointing-finger icon ().

Using the Help system keywords, links, and the index

If you can’t find the topic you are interested in by scanning the Contents page, you can try searching using a keyword.

1.
At the top of the left pane, click the word Search.

A search text box appears in the left pane.

2.
Type a keyword in the text box, such as lasso, and click the Search button. After a brief pause, a list of topics based on your keyword search appears below the text box in the left pane. To see any of these topics, click the topic name.

You can also search for a topic using the index.

3.
At the top of the left pane, click the word Index. An alphabetical list of letters appears across the top of the left pane, followed by the listings for the letter A.

4.
Click another letter, such as T, to display index entries for that letter.

These entries appear alphabetically by topic and subtopic, like the index of a book.

5.
Click the number [1] next to an entry to open the first topic about that entry. (If there is more than one number, clicking the number [2] or [3] opens a second or third topic about the same entry.)

6.
When you have finished browsing, click the Close box to close the Photoshop online Help window, or quit your browser application.
