1. Adobe Photoshop 6 Advanced Level Course

2. Easy Fixes Photoshop is the best tool to fix old, torn and faded photographs, and can fix almost all flaws in photographs.

3. Cleaning Pictures Pictures that have been folded, ripped, faded and very old can not only be fixed, but portions can also be recreated within Photoshop.

4. Applying Tints Applying the Duotone mode allows you to create a richer tone in the image, as it combines the grayscale image with a colored ink.

5. Image Retouching Fix Red Eye, edit pictures, or drag and drop to manipulate a photograph and what it contains.

6. Advanced Editing With Photoshop, you can remove the person from the picture and it’s like they were never there.

7. Merging Pictures You can combine two pictures to create one picture, adding a certain element to another picture.

8. Erasing Backgrounds Use the Background Eraser tool for an image when the edges of an image are too complicated to remove with the Magic Wand, or to erase slowly bit by bit.

9. Alternative Composites Photoshop can be used to create art “from scratch”, and a composite can also be created from nothing, not just by combining images being worked on.

10. Actions Palette The Actions palette not only allows you to define your own keyboard shortcuts, it also allows you to record an entire sequence of commands and operations as one single action.

11. Record Actions An action can include a single command, or you can record multiple operations at a time.

12. Edit Actions Actions can be added to, removed, moved in order, copied, and generally edited.

13. Play Actions When ready to play your action, you can play all of it or just a single operation.

14. Saving and Loading Sets Only a set of actions can be saved and loaded, not individual actions.

15. Resetting, Replacing and Clearing If at any point your Actions palette is full of sets not being used, the palette menu provides three commands, Reset Actions, Replace Actions and Clear All Actions which you can use to clean up Actions and Operations.

16. Batch-Processing When applying a particular action to a multiple of different projects, instead of manually executing the action on each individual project, you can have the action affect the projects as a group, or batch.

17. Droplets The Create Droplet command allows you to save batching instructions in the form of a droplet.

18. Photoshop and ImageReady ImageReady is the Adobe application designed to prepare and optimize images for the web environment.

19. File Formats and File Size The three formats used by both Photoshop and ImageReady are: 1.GIF 2.JPEG and 3.PNG

20. Transparent Pixels Any GIF file can store transparency information.

21. Optimizing Images The Save for Web command allows you to index colors, add transparency, and save an image to GIF or JPEG at the same time. There is no need to use the Indexed Color or Color Table commands.

22. Web Settings for Optimization The Save for Web dialog box allows you to view your image in 4 ways: Original, Optimized, 2-Up and 4-Up, which allows you to set up your image for the web.

23. GIF Settings for Optimization When GIF is selected from the Format pop-up menu, most of the options are similar to the Indexed Color and GIF Options dialog boxes, but there are a couple of new options.

24. JPEG Settings for Optimization Most of the JPEG controls in the Save For Web dialog box are also found in the JPEG Options dialog box.

25. Optimization Menu The Optimization menu has some new options allowing you to optimize your image to it’s best possible final look.

26. Preview Menu The Preview Menu icon is located at the top of the Save For Web dialog box, and its options allows you to control the appearance and feedback provided by the previews.

27. Output Settings Selecting the Output Settings button opens the Output Settings dialog box.

28. Saving PNG Images The Portable Network Graphics format, or PNG format, was designed to outperform and ultimately replace the GIF format.

29. Indexed Color Palette The Indexed Color Palette allows you to tell Photoshop how to compute the colors in the look-up table, with multiple options.

30. Editing Indexed Colors Every once and awhile, Photoshop can select some colors that look very off base. So you are able to edit the colors manually within the Color Table dialog box.

31. Create Slices As all images are rectangular, all slices are rectangular. For each slice created, a slice number will appear in the upper- left corner of the slice.

32. Edit Slices The Slice Options dialog box allows you to name the slice, add a link, along with other slice attributes.

33. Slice Options After a slice is created, you can give the slice a specific name, create a link to a Web page, and more.

34. Save Slices After creating image slices, save them.

35. Image Mapping Mapping an image means having one large graphic with irregularly shaped buttons drawn over it.

36. JavaScript Rollovers A rollover is a collection of JavaScript functions that will make a button change according to the actions of the mouse cursor.

37. Navigate Frames ImageReady can read all frames in an animated GIF file and automatically separate each one to an independent layer.

38. Add and Organize Frames The Animation palette works like an expanded version of the Rollover palette.

39. Save and Optimize an Animation ImageReady’s GIF functions are based on the slicing metaphor, saving an animation becomes a matter of four Optimize features: Optimize, Optimized, Optimize Animation and Save Optimized As.
