Your quick-start guide and reference
to image editing in Photoshop
If you’re relatively new to editing in
Photoshop, or you just don’t know
where to begin, then this section is the best
place to get started. Over the next six pages,
you’ll find an overview of the different versions
of Photoshop available, a breakdown of the
typical image-editing workflow in Photoshop,
an overview of raw file editing, a guide to the
six most useful layers, and a glossary of the
most useful shortcuts. This guide condenses
most of the tools and techniques you’ll use
every time you import a new roll of pictures.
Great value, no subscription fees
Camera Raw doesn’t include any
selective or gradient adjustments, and is limited
compared with Lightroom 5 or Photoshop CC
