How to learn PhotoShop correctly based on Xiaobai Zero?

1, Photoshop is one of the most famous image processing software in Adobe. Photoshop has a wide range of applications, including images, graphics, text, video, publishing and so on.

As for how to learn, this is not a word, two sentences can make it clear. You have to read more tutorials and do more operations by yourself. The following content is plagiarized, which is quite right. You can refer to:

1. Open the file quickly

Double-click the blank background of Photoshop (the gray display area by default) to open the browsing window of the selected file.

2. Change the color of the canvas at will

Select the paint bucket tool, hold down Shift and click the canvas edge to set the canvas background color to the currently selected foreground color. If you want to return to the default color, set the foreground color to 25% gray (R 192, G 192, B 192), then hold down Shift and click the canvas edge again.

3. Select the shortcut key of the tool

You can quickly select tools in the toolbox by pressing the shortcut key. The alphabetic shortcuts for each tool are as follows:

Marquee -M move -V lasso -L magic wand -W

Spray gun -J brush -B pencil -N rubber stamp -S

History Brush -Y Eraser -E Blur -R Fade in and out

Pen -P text -T measurement -U gradient -G

Paint bucket -K straw -I clip -H zoom -Z

Default foreground and background color -D Toggles the foreground and background color-x.

Edit mode switch -Q display mode switch -F

In addition, if we hold down the Alt key and click the displayed tool icon, or hold down the Shift key and repeatedly press the letter shortcut key, we can cycle through the hidden tools.

4. Get an accurate cursor

Press the Caps Lock key to display the cursors of brushes and magnetic tools as accurate crosshairs, and press the key again to restore the original state.

7. Free control of size

The shortcut key of the zoom tool is "Z", while "Ctrl ++ SPACEBAR" is a zoom tool, and "Alt ++ SPACEBAR" is a zoom tool, but it can only be zoomed by clicking with the mouse. Press Ctrl+"+ "+ "and"-"keys to enlarge and reduce the image respectively; Ctrl+Alt+"+ "and Ctrl+Alt+"-" can automatically adjust the window for full-screen zoom display. With this tool, no matter what percentage the picture is displayed, you can browse it in full screen! If you want to automatically adjust the window according to the picture size when using the zoom tool, you can click the "Full Canvas Display" option in the zoom tool property bar.

8. When using a non-hand tool, hold down the space bar, which can be converted into a hand tool to move the visible range of the image in the window. Double-click the mouse on the hand tool to display the image with the most suitable window size, and double-click the mouse on the zoom tool to display the image with the scale of 1: 1.

If you press the Shift key first and then press the arrow keys, you can move the image 10 pixels at a time. Alt dragging the selection will move the copy of the selection.

15. It is very convenient to measure the distance with a measuring tool (especially on the diagonal), and you can also use it to measure the angle (just like a protractor). On the premise that the information panel is visible, select the measuring tool, click and drag a straight line, and hold down the Alt key to drag the second straight line from the node of the first straight line, so that the included angle between the two straight lines and the length of the straight line are displayed on the information panel. Drag with the measuring tool to move the measuring line (or just move a node of the measuring line alone), and drag the measuring line outside the canvas to delete it.

16. Use painting tools, such as brushes and directional pens. ), hold down the Shift key and click the mouse to connect the two clicked points into a straight line.

17. Hold down the Alt key and select a color with the eyedropper tool to define the current background color. The color change of the current picture is monitored by combining the color sampler tool (Shift+I) and the information panel. The color values before and after the change are displayed next to the sampling point number on the information panel. You can define the color mode of sampling points through the pop-up menu on the information panel. To add a new sampling point, simply click anywhere on the canvas with the color sampler tool, and then hold down the Alt key to remove the sampling point. However, a maximum of four color sampling points can be placed on a picture.

18. Everyone must have used cutting tools, and you must have encountered this situation; When you adjust the clipping grip and the clipping box is close to the image boundary, the clipping box will automatically stick to the edge of the image, making it impossible for you to clip the image accurately.
