Start up Photoshop and what do you see? Well,
besides the menu options along the top of the
screen, you’ll see a Toolbar that’s chock-a-block
with icons. You’ll probably recognise some of these,
such as the ‘T’ that designates the Type tool and the
paintbrush icon that unlocks the various Brush tools.
But do you really know what the rest of these icons
mean? … Honestly? The chances are that – like many
Photoshop users across the world – you’re only using a
fraction of the program’s full potential, but this second
issue in the Photoshop Focus Guide series will change
all that, helping you make the most of all the tools at
your disposal.
Even professional designers often admit to being
hopeless with the Healing Brush and dodgy with the
Dodge tool, but there’s really no reason for any of the
tools to be a mystery. This issue will help you get more
from the Clone, Gradient, Paths and Effects tools, to
name but a few. You’ll find expert tips and advice for
working more efficiently with each of the tools, as well
as tutorials to demonstrate exactly how to carry out
useful image-editing tasks. In the final section you’ll
find a step-by-step guide that brings together all the
skills you’ve learnt, showing how to create a striking
Photoshop image.
