We start Photoshop the same as we launch any other program with Windows or the Mac OS. In Windows, we can launch programs from the Start menu or an icon on the taskbar. In Mac OS X, we may have a Photoshop icon on the Dock. In either Windows or Mac OS X, we can double-click a Photoshop shortcut or alias icon if we have one on our desktop. Finally, we can double-click an image associated with Photoshop, which then launches Photoshop along with the file.
SCREEN INDRODUCTION OF PHOTOSHOP CS5
When we launch Photoshop, the workspace, shown in Figure, appears. Photoshop desktop is a place for us to put all the images we’re working with.
Within the Photoshop application window, we have variety of other windows and boxes, such as
® Option bar shows the current tool property and we can set it from here.
® Image window (Document Window) that enables us to view and edit images.
® From Dock we can see the historical editing of the image and they are shown as layered form, as well as we can hide the Panels from here using navigation buttons.
® The application window contains the stuff we’re probably used to seeing in other programs
® A title bar at the top of the window.
® A status bar at the bottom (unless you have it turned off) if we’re a Windows user, and menus to help us execute commands and get important information about our image files.
® The arrangement of controls may be a little unfamiliar to us. Photoshop arranges controls into groups, or panels.
