Whether you’re new to Photoshop, upgrading from Photoshop CS3 or earlier,
or transitioning from Elements to the full version of Photoshop CS4
or Photoshop CS4 Extended, you’re in for some treats.
Photoshop CS4 has an intriguing new look that enables
you to do more, and do it more easily, than ever. Before
I take you on this journey through the intricacies of
Photoshop, I want to introduce you to Photoshop in a
more general way. In this chapter, I tell you what
Photoshop is designed to do, what it can do
(although not as capably as job-specific software),
and what you can get it to do if you try really, really
hard. I also review some basic computer operation
concepts and point out a couple of places where
Photoshop is a little different than most other pro-
grams. At the end of the chapter, I have a few tips for
you on installing Photoshop to ensure that it runs
properly.
