Chapter 3 Summary

Chapter 3 in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 is a basic overview of the interfaces of Photoshop, Adobe Bridge, and Lightroom. In Photoshop, Laskevitch talks about all the different setups you can use for panels, including “history”, “info”, and many more. He also talks about Photoshop’s toolbar, and how to use hidden features. Though keyboard shortcuts were covered, he didn’t actually list any other than “undo (ctrl+z)”. He went into quite a bit of detail about photo filters, image layers, adjustment layers, and smart objects. In Bridge, he explained how to find and view images, view metadata, use the search feature, and integrate it with other applications. Next, he briefly wrote about Adobe Camera Raw, and how to use its tools, image adjustment tabs (including some shortcuts); he really emphasized that using Camera Raw to adjust the image was “risk free!” Lastly, he explained how to find your way around Lightroom by using the modules (library, develop, slideshow, print, and web were all featured). Lastly, he explained how to utilize different views, and listed some Lightroom shortcuts.
