Photoshop How-To: Tame the Beast

Excerpted from Photoshop Workflow Setups: Eddie Tapp on Digital Photography, published by O’Reilly Media
Photoshop practically seethes with menus, palettes, and tools. If you get confused by how they work — much less how they should work for your needs — this article is just what you need. After you set up the general workspace so it’s efficient, using Photoshop will be a more pleasing experience.

Photoshop opens a second window of your active image when you select Window > Arrange > New Window. It’s perfect when you want to do detail work and see the entire image at the same time.
This article is taken from a book that isn’t due to be on shelves until July. We hope you enjoy the sneak peek!
