12 Adobe Photoshop Basics Display a palette menu Most palettes have menus that contain additional commands and options. To display a palette menu, click the black triangle at the upper right of the palette. (For palettes stored in the options bar, first display the palette and then click the black triangle in the palette's tab.) Opening images in Photoshop and ImageReady Photoshop and ImageReady let you open or import a variety of source images. You can create new images, import digital images saved in various formats, and scan or capture images from an imaging device. (Photoshop) Specify color management settings Before opening or creating new images, specify the color management settings you want to use. Photoshop color management features are designed to help keep colors in your image consistent as the image is transferred between different users, systems, and display and output devices. To set up color management, choose Edit > Color Settings, choose a predefined configuration from the Settings menu, and click OK. The configuration you choose defines the specific color spaces that Photoshop uses when working with images in RGB, CMYK, and Grayscale modes. For complete information on setting up color management, see the online help section on producing consistent color. Scan the image at the correct size and resolution If you are scanning an image to be opened in Photoshop or ImageReady, it's a good idea to scan the image as close as possible to the size dimensions and resolution that you want. When in doubt, scan at a higher resolution than what is needed. You can always reduce the image later in Photoshop or ImageReady by cutting down the resolution or pixel dimensions. Open or create an image Do one of the following: • Choose File > Open, and locate and select the desired image file. Depending on your color management settings and the color profile associated with the file, you may be prompted to specify how to handle color information in the file. • Choose File > New. Enter a name for the image, and specify its dimensions, resolution (Photoshop only), and color mode (Photoshop only). In addition, specify whether to fill the image with white, the current background color, or transparency.
