ABSTRACT
This chapter begins by looking at some of the essentials of working with Photoshop, such as how to install the program, photoshop interface, what all the different tools as well as introducing the Camera Raw and Bridge programs. It also contains examples of the different Options bar layouts in the rest of the chapter. The latest version of Photoshop is formally known as Photoshop CC. Unlike Photoshop CS6 and earlier programs, this version is only available if you take out a subscription to Creative Cloud using one of the available subscription plans. Since the first release of Photoshop CC, several updates have been released for Photoshop CC and Camera Raw. The Photoshop CC interface shares the same design features as the other CC creative suite programs, which makes it easier to switch from working in one CC program to another. Finally, the chapter also presents an overview of fundamental key concepts that are discussed in subsequent chapters of this book.
