Customizing Photoshop


Photoshop is an incredibly powerful program. Not only can you perform many different tasks with Photoshop, but you can also choose from a number of ways to accomplish each project. By setting Photoshop to work for you, you can develop your own techniques and find ways to adapt the standard tools to those techniques. Learning to customize the application for your own personal projects and your own personal style makes your image editing more effective and efficient. When you work on an image, you may prefer to see some palettes and not others. You may also prefer certain tool settings to others. Setting up Photoshop to work your way makes you more productive, the program more useful, and everything you do with Photoshop much more fun.

With Photoshop CS3, Adobe has taken customization to a new level. You can now modify your settings and preferences in more ways than ever before by adjusting the workspace, the palettes, and the tools to fit the requirements of specific projects or just for your own preferences. These may seem like boring steps, yet setting up Photoshop’s preferences and the workspace, knowing how to make your own gradients, customizing some shortcuts and tools, and designing templates and brushes can save you time as you work on images and free you to become more creative.
By customizing Photoshop and setting the application your way, you gain familiarity with the program and become more comfortable as you try different projects.
