Photoshop Notes

Immediately upon opening your image(s), rename them with 'Save as..' Don't forget to save often!

To edit coloration go to: Image > Adjustments > Levels
Then, move the little arrows at the bottom until they're right beneath the black mountains.
To adjust the lighting you stay in the box for Levels but click on the draw down arrow and click RGB. Then slide ONLY the MIDDLE slider to make it a little brighter than perfect. **when you print photos they print darker than on the screen**

Nestle- tools are stacked on each other, so left click and hold down to see them

Use command tools!
Command + = zoom in
Command - = zoom out
Command o = open
Command v = paste
Command z = undo
Command, shift, z = step backward
Command s = save
Command p = print
