Photoshop basics
- Image size - used to change the amount of pixels in the image
- Canvas size - used to add extra pixels to the image
- Save:
--- Photoshop .PSD file is your working file (keep this forever)
--- JPEG file is a 'Flattened' and Compressed file
Printing dpi resolutions
180 dpi - for images with no text only. lowest possible printing resolution.
240 dpi - good for images and fonts 11 points or bigger
300 dpi - great for images and fonts 8 points or bigger
360 dpi - great for images and fonts 6 points or bigger
400-600 dpi - super hi-resolution as good as an image can look
Using the Scanner
- access the scanners software in Photoshop under "import"
- make sure your in professional mode
- resolution (dpi) changes the speed at which the scanner will scan
- look at the other scanner options
- try doing everthing you were told not to do with a scanner (like move stuff while scanning)
- all scanners have a distance above the glass which is in focus and then drops off quickly
to scan
1 - set up the scanner options
2 - select an area to scan
3 - hit preview
4 - hit scan
5 - save the scan as a PSD
