Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One

(やまだぃちぅ) #1

  • If you use a Mac, turn off Zoom Resizes Windows. (On the PC,
    it’s off by default.) In Photoshop CS5, the Zoom commands and
    the zoom tool share the same window resizing behavior, and trust
    me, you don’t want the zoom tool resizing the window.

  • Click Interface in the left-hand list. Or press Ctrl+2 (�-2 on the
    Mac). This switches you to the next panel of options.

  • Set all Border options in the top-right area of the dialog box to
    None. This makes for less confusion when gauging the boundar-
    ies of an image.

  • By default, every image opens in a tabbed window, permitting
    you to switch between images just by clicking a tab. Sometimes
    I like the tabbed interface; sometimes I don’t. You can disable
    it by turning off Open Documents as Tabs. In other words, I’m
    just letting you know it’s an option. Hence the yellow highlighted
    check box in Figure 7.

  • Click File Handling in the left-hand list or press Ctrl+3 (�-3) to
    switch panels. Notice the pop-up menu labeled Maximize PSD
    and PSB File Compatibility? Unless you’re a video professional
    or you trade images between Photoshop and Lightroom (a sepa-
    rate program from Adobe), this option is best set to Never, as I’ve
    done in Figure 8.
