General Goals

  • Identify the differences between raster and vector graphics; identify Photoshop environment elements; and navigate in the Photoshop environment.
  • Select appropriate resolutions for different image and output types; and resize and crop image areas.
  • Select image areas using the Lasso, Marquee, and Magic Wand tools; and use alpha channels to save and load selections.
  • Create and manipulate multiple layers to composite images easily.
  • Apply blending and shading effects to create realistic composites.
  • Identify the image mode characteristics, channels and bit depth; identify attributes that distinguish grayscale mode from bitmap mode; and identify attributes that distinguish each color mode.
  • Select colors using the Color palette, Color Picker, and Eyedropper tool; use Photoshop's painting tools to create artwork or to retouch photographs; and use the Clone Stamp tool to duplicate parts of an image.
  • Add and format text within an image; apply layer effects and filters to create special effects including lighting effects and textures; and merge layers.
  • Modify the brightness, contrast, color balance, hue, and saturation of images.
  • Save images in file formats for use with other applications and the Web.
  • Use the Background Eraser, Quick Mask mode, alpha channels, and layer masks to isolate image areas quickly and accurately, even for images with indistinct edges and very fine details.
  • Create clipping masks to use one layer's contents to mask another's; and create vector paths as tools for selecting images, for creating transparent areas in images to be used with other applications, and for drawing shapes.
  • Create color swatches, gradients, and patterns.
  • Distort type by warping it, wrapping it on a path, and transforming it; create layer comps to quickly compare multiple versions of a document; retouch and restore old damaged photographs; and simulate natural media painted effects.
  • Automate multi-step processes with actions and batch processing.
