If you used other Adobe products, such as Illustrator or InDesign, you should be familiar with the
toolbox in Adobe Photoshop CS6 as it shares some of the tools from these applications. If you
are a new user of Adobe products, you should keep in mind that you might not need to use all of
the tools. In this tutorial, only the basic tools will be discussed in-depth.
Some tools in the toolbar have additional “hidden” tools. These tools have small black triangles in
the right-hand corner. To view the “hidden” tools, click and hold down on any tool that has a gray
triangle in the corner (Figure 10).
Remember to save your work often. Saving frequently lessens the risk of losing the work you have been doing. To save your Photoshop document, do the following: 1. Click File > Save As. 2. Navigate to the place you would like your document to be saved by using the drop down menu and the navigation window. 3. Enter the name of your document in the Save As text field. 4. Choose a format to save your proj ect in from the Format drop-down menu (Figure 33) Figure 33. Saving a document 5. Click the Save button in the bottom right corner of the dialogue box. 6. Check to make sure that your document is saved in the place you intended. Note: If you save your file as PSD (default Photoshop saving format) your layers will be preserved, but the file size will be large. If you save your file as JPEG (a common image format) your layers will be flattened and become one layer, and the file size will be significantly smaller.
