In This Chapter

What Photoshop does very well, kind of well, and just sort of, well . . .

What you need to know to work with Photoshop

What you need to know about installing Photoshop

A

dobe Photoshop is, without question, the leading image-editing program
in the world. Photoshop has even become somewhat of a cultural icon.

It’s not uncommon to hear Photoshop used as a verb (“That picture is obvi-
ously Photoshopped!”), and you’ll even see references to Photoshop in the
daily comics and cartoon strips. And now you’re part of this whole gigantic
phenomenon called Photoshop.

Whether you’re new to Photoshop, upgrading from Photoshop CS2 or earlier,
or transitioning from Elements to the full version of Photoshop CS3
or Photoshop CS3 Extended, you’re in for some treats.
Photoshop CS3 has some intriguing new capabilities
that enable you to do more, and 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 soft-
ware), and what you can get it to do if you try really,
really hard. I also review some basic computer oper-
ation concepts and point out a couple of places
where Photoshop is a little different than most other
programs. At the end of the chapter, I have a few tips
for you on installing Photoshop to ensure that it runs
properly.
