1 Getting Started
1.1 What Is Adobe Photoshop CS6 Adobe Photoshop CS6 is a powerful tool to
1. Create New Images :- New images can be created from scratch using the designers imagination
such as a person /place /thing that does not exist but is in you dreamed of it or combining
images from multiple sources to create a new one such us cropping your photograph from your
scanned photo to a place that you created such as living in a jungle.
2. Edit Existing Photographs :- People love to appear beautiful and handsome when it comes to
presenting their photographs. Photographs are edited using this software bringing the thoughts
and imagination to reality.
3. Edit Images :- Images can be edited to bring clarity and attraction in them.
4. Create Website Designs For Prototype Design and Web Development :- Before any development
a prototype of the website is prepared which involves the web designers and the business
analyst to carve the requirements of the website and presenting it to the client. The client
suggests changes in his/her requirements and accordingly the prototype is modified and run
before the client. This not only saves time but speeds up the work as the prototype that is
finalized is approved for development.
5. Add Images For The Website :- A website that is approved is a collection of webpages. A
webpage is a collection of images ,text and forms to view and enter data. Each webpage
comprises of images which are created by the web designer

2.3 Layers discussed In Depth Dear learner let me discuss about the layers before we proceed further and deep into the subject. An
Adobe Photoshop file is comprised of various layers. Why layers ? The advantages are many. The
advantages are .
1. Even though the image is spread across many layers it appears as one image.
2. Layers can be created
3. Layer can be duplicated
4. Layers can be hidden. Hiding some layers removes some components of the drawing without
affecting the photo shop file.
5. Layers can be merged.
6. Layers can be grouped

-
Adobe Photoshop CS6
Orissa State Open University Page 13
If you have a new photograph and do not want damage it. Create a duplicate of it .Hide the original and
work on the duplicate copy.
If you had already developed a graphic which needs slight modification but the originals should be intact
As it would be needed to do another modification in future. In such cases duplicating the layer
duplicates it and can be used for further changes.
2.3.4 Delete A Layer In Adobe Photoshop File Step -1
Unlock the layer that you want to delete and then click the del button on the keyboard else drag it to
the garbage bin .Locked layers cant be deleted .At least a single layer remains which ant be deleted
which means photoshop retains at least one layer.
