Getting started
Before beginning this lesson, restore the default application settings for Adobe Photoshop. See “Restoring default preferences” on page 5.
You’ll start the lesson by viewing the finished lesson file to see the image that you’ll create as you explore the selection tools in Photoshop.
1. | Start Adobe Photoshop. If a notice appears asking whether you want to customize your color settings, click No. |
2. | Choose File > Open, and open the 04End.psd file, located in the Lessons/Lesson04 folder on your hard drive. The project is a collage of symbolic objects, including a writing journal, a pen, globes, a number, a flower, and a padlock. Your own placement of the objects can be subject to your personal sense of artistic composition and balance rather than in a prescribed arrangement that you must match exactly. There is no “right” or “wrong” placement here.
|
3. | When you have finished viewing the file, either leave the 04End.psd file open for reference, or close it without saving changes. |
