Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One

1. Open your OS X System Preferences. From the � menu, choose
   System Preferences. Click the Keyboard & Mouse icon, and
   then click the Keyboard Shortcuts button.


2. Reset the Dashboard & Dock settings. In the left-hand pane,
   click Dashboard & Dock. In the right-hand pane, click the F12
   shortcut to highlight it. Then press Control-F12 (which appears
   as ^F12 in the window).


3. Switch to the next group of shortcuts. Click Expose & Spaces,
   replace F9 with Control-F9, F10 with Control-F10, and F11
   with Control-F11.


4. Reset the �-spacebar functionality. Spotlight, Mac’s ques-
   tionably useful search feature, has taken over the �-spacebar
   and �-Option-spacebar shortcuts. In Photoshop, these short-
   cuts let you zoom in and out of your images with immensely
   convenient efficiency. Reclaim this handy feature by choosing
   Spotlight in the left-hand pane. Next, click �Space and replace
   it with �-Control-F1, and click -�-Space and replace it with
   the shortcut �-Control-Option-F1 (which shows up in reverse
   order as ^ �F1).


5. Close System Preferences. Finally, click the in the top-left
   corner of the window to close the system preferences.

From now on, the panel and zoom tool shortcuts will work according
to Adobe’s intentions, as well as the directions provided in this book.

Structure and Organization

Each of the lessons in the book conforms to a consistent structure,
designed to impart skills and understanding through a regimen of
practice and dialog. As you build your projects, I explain why you’re
performing the steps and why Photoshop works the way it does.

Each lesson begins with a broad topic overview. Turn the first
page of each lesson, and you’ll find a section called “About This
Lesson,” which lists the skills you’ll learn and provides you with
a short description of what you’ll find in the video-based compo-
nent of the lesson.

As you read in “One-on-One Installation and Setup,” on page xvi, the videos
can be streamed or downloaded from the book’s companion Web site, found
at http://www.oreilly.com/go/deke-PhotoshopCS5.
