Master Photoshop more quickly ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 49 User Guide Streamlined interface Photoshop 6.0 introduces numerous interface enhancements designed to make it easier and more efficient to use its powerful features. Options bar Now, when you select a tool in the toolbox, all the options that control its behavior are easily accessible in a context-sensitive options bar. For example, when you're working with the shape or selection tools, you have access to modifiers such as add, subtract, restrict, and invert, which were previously available only by keyboard shortcuts. You can dock the options bar to the top or bottom of your screen or let it float anywhere on your screen. Palette docking and storage In Photoshop 6.0, you can dock palettes to each other. You can also store the palettes you use most often in the palette well in the options bar, where they are readily available when you need them but out of your way when you're focused on a task. When you want to display a palette in the well, click the palette's tab; click again and the palette tucks out of sight. Improved color management and proofing The new Edit > Color Settings command simplifies ICCbased color management by gathering controls in a single dialog box and offering a choice of predefined color management settings based on common press and Web conditions. Based on Adobe Color Engine (ACE) technology, this color management workflow encompasses much of the RGB, CMYK, and Grayscale setup controls of previous Photoshop versions and offers improved integration with Adobe Illustrator 9.0 and other upcoming Adobe products. In addition, Photoshop 6.0 provides new controls for generating soft proofs of images on-screen and for printing hard proofs based on ICC color profiles.
