ABSTRACT

This chapter explains how to work with photos that have never been near Camera Raw, such as images that have originated as jpgFs or JPEGs and It outlines the fundamental principle of pixel image editing such as bit depth and the relationship between the image resolution and the image size. Then it elaborates the main image editing adjustment and how they can be used to fine-tune the tones and colors in a photograph. Photoshop is mainly regarded as a pixel-based graphics program, but is in fact both a pixel and vector editing program. This is because Photoshop contains a number of vector-based features that can be used to generate things such as custom shapes and layer clipping paths. This raises some interesting possibilities, because you can create various graphical elements like type, shape layers and layer clipping paths in Photoshop, which are all resolution-independent.
