Printing images

Photoshop is an image-editing program. It is used to create and/or enhance digital images that may be

used in print, online, and in video. It is designed primarily for Raster graphics (pixels), although Vector

components can be included. Raster graphics have increasingly rough edges as they are enlarged, while

Vector graphics maintain smooth edges. (Note: Vector graphics are especially used by Adobe

Illustrator.)

Downloading Photos

To transfer photos from your camera or memory card, use Adobe Photo Downloader in Adobe Bridge.

This automates the process of saving and renaming files, creating subfolders based on photo dates,

converting files to another format, and saving copies.

** You can also import illustrations from Adobe Illustrator into Photoshop

1. To download photos:

 Connect your camera or a card with images to the computer

 Open Photoshop

 From the Photoshop window find and click on the icon for Adobe Bridge.

 Select the source of the photos from the list. The source can be the camera, if it is connected to

the computer, or a card reader.

 Specify a location where the photos will be stored.

 Choose the method by which subfolders will be created:subfolders by shot date in various

formats; the date of import; a custom name; or no subfolders.

 Choose a method by which the files are renamed—new names by shot date in various formats,

the date of import, a custom name, or shot date plus a custom name—or choose not to rename.

panel, so you could drop a new photo onto another one as a new layer!
