PS20 Basic Concepts Part 1

Summary

The video explains the key differences between Photoshop and Photopea, focusing on workspace customization, managing images, and tools like layers, panels, and the move tool. It highlights Photoshop's flexibility in undocking panels, dragging elements between images, and the use of smart objects. The video also covers resizing, cropping, and adjusting image modes, alongside tips for working with different color modes. Additionally, it touches on saving workflows, using the history panel, and various shortcuts to streamline navigation. The next lesson will dive into hands-on practice with Photopea.

Takeaways

• 🖥️ Photoshop allows for a highly customizable workspace, where users can dock and undock panels, while Photopea lacks this flexibility.
• 🖼️ Both Photoshop and Photopea use tabs to organize images, but only Photoshop allows images to be viewed side by side through tab undocking.
• 🔄 Dragging elements from one image to another is easier in Photoshop, where images can be placed side by side, but in Photopea, users must rely on copy-pasting or 'File > Place' methods.
• 🎨 When placing an image in Photoshop, it becomes a 'smart object,' preventing direct modifications (e.g., erasing) unless it is rasterized.
• ⚠️ Be cautious when rasterizing layers like text, as it converts them into pixels, making them uneditable in terms of font or size.
• 🎞️ Photoshop uses different color modes, such as RGB, which must match between images if dragging across tabs. This issue is exclusive to Photoshop.
• 🕒 The history panel in both Photoshop and Photopea helps track and revert changes. However, Photoshop requires Ctrl + Alt + Z for multiple undos, while Photopea uses Ctrl + Z.
• 🔍 Navigating and zooming can be done using keyboard shortcuts in both programs (e.g., Ctrl + Plus/Minus, or Spacebar for the hand tool).
• 📏 Photoshop allows for canvas resizing (under Image > Canvas Size) and image resizing (under Image > Image Size), with similar options in Photopea.
• 💾 In Photopea, files must be manually saved to a local drive or Google Drive, as it does not support automatic saving like other online apps.

Q & A

What is a 'workspace' in Photoshop?

A 'workspace' in Photoshop refers to the arrangement of all the panels, including tools on the left, the properties bar on top, and tabs for images. It can be customized by moving, resizing, or rearranging these elements.

Can you customize the workspace in Photopea like in Photoshop?

No, in Photopea, you cannot undock or rearrange panels like in Photoshop. You can hide panels, but you cannot move them around or customize them in the same way.

How can you move images between tabs in Photoshop?

In Photoshop, you can drag an image from one tab to another using the Move Tool. Alternatively, you can use 'Select All,' 'Copy,' switch to the other tab, and 'Paste' the image.

What is the purpose of 'Place Embedded' in Photoshop?

'Place Embedded' in Photoshop allows you to insert an image into your document as a 'smart object,' which can be edited separately and resized without losing quality.

What happens when you 'rasterize' a smart object in Photoshop?

Rasterizing a smart object converts it into a regular layer of pixels, allowing you to edit it freely, such as erasing or applying filters. However, this process removes the ability to edit the object in its original form.

How do you undo multiple steps in Photoshop versus Photopea?

In Photoshop, you need to use 'Ctrl + Alt + Z' to undo multiple steps. In Photopea, 'Ctrl + Z' can be used repeatedly to undo several steps.

How can you zoom in and out in both Photoshop and Photopea?

You can zoom in by pressing 'Ctrl + Plus' and zoom out with 'Ctrl + Minus.' Additionally, pressing 'Ctrl + 0' fits the image to the screen in both Photoshop and Photopea.

What is the purpose of the 'magic eraser' tool in Photoshop?

The magic eraser tool in Photoshop removes all pixels of a similar color in one click, making it ideal for quickly erasing solid-colored backgrounds. This feature is not available in Photopea.

How can you flip an image horizontally in Photoshop?

To flip an image horizontally in Photoshop, go to 'Image' > 'Image Rotation' > 'Flip Canvas Horizontal.' In Photopea, it is located under 'Image' > 'Transform' > 'Flip Horizontally.'

What is the difference between resizing and cropping an image in Photoshop?

Resizing changes the overall dimensions of the image, while cropping removes parts of the image to focus on a specific area. Resizing is done through 'Image' > 'Image Size,' and cropping is done using the Crop Tool.

🖥️ Understanding Workspaces in Photoshop and Photopea

This paragraph introduces the concept of 'workspace' in Photoshop and Photopea. It explains that the workspace refers to the arrangement of panels, such as the tools panel, properties bar, color swatches, and layers. The key difference between the two programs is that Photoshop allows customization, like undocking and resizing panels, while Photopea does not. The 'reset essentials' function in Photoshop restores the workspace to its default state, whereas Photopea lacks this flexibility.

05:01

📁 Arranging and Moving Images Between Tabs

This section focuses on how Photoshop and Photopea handle multiple images. In Photoshop, users can undock images from tabs and arrange them side-by-side, whereas in Photopea, images must remain in tabs. The paragraph also describes how to move content between images using three methods: dragging (Photoshop-only), copying and pasting (both programs), and placing an image (both programs). Placing an image in Photoshop creates a 'smart object,' which can be edited separately but requires rasterization for further changes like erasing.

10:02

🧠 Smart Objects and Rasterization

This paragraph introduces the concept of 'smart objects' in Photoshop. When placing an image, it becomes a smart object, which allows non-destructive editing. However, to make certain changes, like erasing, the object must be rasterized. The text warns that rasterizing converts items like text into pixels, limiting future edits. It emphasizes caution when rasterizing to avoid losing editable qualities of layers.

15:02

🎨 Color Modes and Image Adjustments

This section explains the importance of matching color modes (like RGB) when moving images between files in Photoshop, as incompatible color modes can prevent images from being moved. It also discusses the 'history panel' in both programs, which tracks user actions and allows for undoing multiple steps. Key differences between Photoshop and Photopea in undo functions are mentioned, along with useful navigation tips like using the space bar to pan around an image.

20:03

🔍 Cropping, Erasing, and Working with Background Layers

Here, the paragraph covers essential image-editing tools in Photoshop, like cropping and erasing. It explains the difference between locked and unlocked background layers and how unlocking a layer allows for true erasing (producing transparency). The paragraph also introduces the concept of resizing brushes and erasers using keyboard shortcuts, as well as the 'magic eraser' tool in Photoshop, which is not available in Photopea.

📐 Mirroring, Adjustments, and Canvas Size

This section describes how to flip (mirror) images in both programs and introduces the 'black and white' adjustment, which lets users convert an image to grayscale and optionally tint it with another color. The paragraph also explains how to change the size of the canvas on which an image sits, either to enlarge the workspace or to resize the entire image. Photoshop and Photopea handle canvas resizing similarly.

💾 Saving Files in Photoshop and Photopea

This paragraph explains the process of saving files in Photoshop and Photopea. In Photoshop, files can be saved directly to local or cloud storage like Google Drive. Photopea, however, requires downloading the file to the computer and saving it manually. The importance of regularly saving work is emphasized, as neither program saves automatically, unlike Google Docs.

📜 Final Overview and Preparation for the Next Lesson

The closing paragraph wraps up the lesson by recapping the key concepts of workspaces, panels, and basic image manipulation. It previews the next session, which will focus on creating a project using Photopea, starting with a background image and adding additional elements. Students are encouraged to have good notes for the upcoming lesson.

Keywords

💡Workspace

A workspace in the context of Photoshop and Photopea refers to the arrangement of panels, tools, and tabs within the program's interface. In Photoshop, users can customize their workspace by moving or resizing panels such as the Layers panel, whereas Photopea has limited customization options. This term is crucial to understanding the flexibility of Photoshop in comparison to other editing programs like Photopea.

💡Panels

Panels in Photoshop and Photopea are sections of the workspace that contain tools, settings, or features like layers, swatches, or properties. For example, the Layers panel can be docked or undocked in Photoshop, while in Photopea, panels cannot be moved. Panels are a core part of image editing as they provide access to essential functionalities.

💡Layers

Layers are individual levels within a Photoshop or Photopea document where images, text, or adjustments are placed. In the script, layers are described as movable and customizable within Photoshop, which offers more control compared to Photopea. Layers allow users to work on different elements of an image separately, providing greater flexibility and non-destructive editing.

💡Undocking

Undocking refers to the ability to move a panel or a tab from its fixed position within the workspace and place it elsewhere on the screen. In Photoshop, users can undock the Layers panel and resize it, offering a more customized workspace. This is a feature that Photopea lacks, which highlights the added flexibility Photoshop provides.

💡Smart Object

A Smart Object in Photoshop is a layer that contains image data from raster or vector images. When a file is placed as a Smart Object, it can be edited non-destructively, meaning users can resize, transform, or edit the image without losing quality. Smart Objects are indicated by an icon in the Layers panel and allow for more advanced image manipulation compared to basic layers.

💡Rasterizing

Rasterizing is the process of converting a Smart Object or vector graphic into a regular pixel-based layer in Photoshop. Once an object is rasterized, it can be edited with pixel-based tools like the eraser, but certain properties like scalability without loss of quality are lost. In the script, rasterizing is discussed when the user wants to erase part of a Smart Object.

💡Color Modes

Color Modes, such as RGB and indexed color, refer to the way colors are represented in an image file. In the script, RGB is mentioned as the color mode that must be matched between images for actions like dragging and dropping to work smoothly in Photoshop. Understanding color modes is essential for ensuring consistency and compatibility when working with different images.

💡History Panel

The History Panel in Photoshop and Photopea is a feature that records every action taken during an editing session. Users can revert to a previous state by selecting a step in the History Panel, which provides a more efficient way to undo multiple actions compared to using the Undo command repeatedly. This feature is useful for non-linear editing and correcting mistakes.

💡Navigator

The Navigator is a tool in both Photoshop and Photopea that allows users to zoom in and out of an image quickly. By using the Navigator, users can control the zoom level without having to switch to the zoom tool manually. In the script, it's described as a helpful tool for managing the view of an image while editing, especially when working with large files.

💡Cropping

Cropping refers to the process of trimming down an image to focus on a particular section or remove unwanted areas. The Crop tool is commonly used across various programs, including Photoshop and Photopea, to adjust the visible area of an image. In the script, cropping is presented as a basic yet essential function that helps refine the composition of an image.

Highlights

Introduction to the workspace concept in Photoshop, focusing on the arrangement of panels like tools, properties, and image tabs.

Photoshop allows for workspace customization, including undocking and resizing panels, which is not available in Photopea.

The ability to reset workspace to default settings in Photoshop using 'Reset Essentials' under the Window menu.

Photopea does not allow undocking of panels, though it allows hiding and showing them.

Photoshop offers multiple image viewing arrangements, including dragging tabs for side-by-side viewing, a feature not available in Photopea.

Photoshop supports dragging and dropping elements between images directly, while Photopea relies on copy-pasting due to lack of side-by-side view.

Using 'File -> Place Embedded' in Photoshop to insert images as smart objects, allowing for more advanced editing options.

Smart objects in Photoshop prevent certain edits like erasing, requiring rasterization to convert objects into an editable form.

The importance of understanding color modes, like RGB and indexed color, for compatibility when working with different image formats.

The history panel in both Photoshop and Photopea allows users to backtrack through actions, with Photoshop supporting both 'Undo' and history navigation.

In Photoshop, 'Ctrl + Alt + Z' is used for multiple undos, while in Photopea 'Ctrl + Z' alone works for repeated undo actions.

The navigator panel in both Photoshop and Photopea facilitates zooming and navigating around an image efficiently.

Keyboard shortcuts for zooming in and out (Ctrl + Plus/Minus) and fitting images to screen (Ctrl + 0) work in both programs.

In Photoshop, unlocking the background layer is necessary for transparent erasing; otherwise, the background color remains.

The Magic Eraser tool, exclusive to Photoshop, allows for quick deletion of connected color areas, which is not available in Photopea.

Transcripts

all right let's start off with basic

concepts so we're going to look at the

window

and the workspace and i'm going to start

off by looking at this in photoshop then

we'll pop over and look and see what the

differences are in photo p

so first off we're going to use the term

workspace

workspace is the arrangement of all of

these panels that you see on the screen

so the tools that are on the left

the properties bar on the top that's

going to be in both our programs

the use of tabs for your images both

programs

and then the fact that we have all of

these little tabs over here

color swatches learn layers channels all

of those

that's the same in all of them but in

photoshop you can customize your

workspace

so for instance i can grab this layers

panel

and bring it out here somewhere oops i

grabbed a hold of the picture

so i can grab this layers panel and

bring it out here i can also make it

bigger or smaller and things like that

and those are the types of things that

you really can't do

in photo piece so there are some things

that are very specific to photoshop and

these workspaces

are one of those things so

um if i pull out all of these different

little things say i've just got

everything in kind of a crazy place

i can put them back by going to window

and workspace

because of the arrangement of panels as

the workspace and then i would click on

reset essentials now it says reset

essentials because i'm in the essentials

workspace right now and that's what we

usually work in in here

so i'm gonna hit reset essentials and it

puts everything back in its night

nice tidy little places okay so that's

what a workspace is and we only have

workspaces in photoshop

because in photo p you cannot undock all

your panels so let me open up photo p

here

i can hide these panels by clicking on

them and hiding them

but i can't pick them up and scoot them

that's just not something that you can

do in that program

okay so back in here

we can also change the way that we see

images when we have multiple images open

so

i can grab a hold of this little tab and

just yank down

and i can actually look at both of mine

i can yank this one down too

i can look at both of my pictures at the

same time

can't do that in photo p either if you

have a bunch of pictures

open you can go to window up here at the

top and arrange

and then you can tell it how you want it

arranged so i can say you know put them

side by side

or i can tell it to put them all back

that's consolidate

all to tabs and that puts them back in

those tabs

so again it's kind of up to you as to

whether or not you're going to want to

undock things or not but that's an

option in photoshop this gives you a

little bit more power

and control all right so how do we get a

picture

from one to the other so let's say that

i have this background i'm going to

undock it

and i have this frog and i'm going to

undock it i can take this frog with my

move tool

just point to the frog and click and

drag and

let go when i get over to the other one

and then the frog

is in there i can't do that in the other

program because i can't put them

side by side so that's kind of a problem

how can i do that a different way

let me show you let me put these back to

tabs

so let's say i have this one if i want

to take this one

and put it in the other one and you can

do this this in both of them is the same

you can go to select all which puts

little ants around the whole thing

edit copy which copies it

click on your other tab and edit paste

and now you have that in the other

document

and that's how you would do it in photo

p because we can't put them side by side

okay the third way that you can insert

pictures

so you can either drag them in or you

can copy paste

but remember you must select all first

or

you can what we call place it and you

can do this in both programs as well

so it's file place there's only file

place in photo p

in photoshop you do place embedded which

just basically means like make a copy of

it so

file place embedded and then i can go

get that saved picture

and place it it puts it in there and it

automatically if it's

bigger than the picture that's there

it won't let it hang off it always makes

it no taller

than your picture so if we were dragging

something in and it was huge mungus

it would stay huge fungus like it would

cover the whole thing and you wouldn't

be able to see that background anymore

so if you place it it kind of puts it in

there in a

in a different way it makes it a little

bit different to work with

now you might say well then why don't i

just always do that i'm going to hit

okay here

well because look down here on my layers

i'm going to undock these so you can see

better see that little icon

when you place a picture it's considered

what they call a smart

object which means that you can actually

edit that picture as if it was

still open on its own i can double click

it

and it's going to go in there and it

takes me to that frog picture

where i can like work on it and close it

and then it would update it

now that's not going to mean anything to

you at this point in the class but i

need you to understand that when you see

that icon

it means that you have it in there a

special way

and if you place it you're not allowed

to do things like

erase it see how i get a big no sign it

says no erasing

because you can't erase objects

okay to erase it we would have to

convert it

to a different form and that's called

rasterizing

some people call it flattening but

rasterizing is the proper term now if i

click to try to erase right now

it actually is going to tell you hey

this smart object

must be rasterized now caution caution

if i'm like

little lights going just because

something pops up on your screen

does not mean you click ok in this case

it does

because i want to erase but if you

accidentally were on the wrong layer

and you got ready to erase and you were

on a layer that has

like text on it you can't erase text

so if you rasterize your text you turn

your text

into pixels instead of text which means

you can't change the font you can't

change the size without it getting

blurry

so just because things pop up does not

mean you say okay

okay in this case i would want it to do

that and once i rasterize it see it's

not a smart

object anymore now it's as if i pasted

it in

okay so that's that another thing that

you have to worry about

only really in photoshop and only if

you're going to drag things across

is the color mode we talked in a

previous lesson

about color modes it's under the image

menu again this is a photoshop only and

this is where you can change the color

mode of your images

okay indexed color that's what your

gif images are going to come in as and

gif images don't play nicely

so if i go out here and try to grab one

of these images let's see

i think i have a gif well no i don't

have one if i had a gif image in there

and i tried to drag it over

it wouldn't let me i'd get one of those

no signs

so the thing to do about that is look up

here

see in the little tab it says rgb rgb

if they don't match you just go to image

and mode and you pick rgb

you say hey you got to match everybody

else so join the rgb club

okay and then you can drag it across now

if you're copying and pasting or if

you're

file placing you can put them in there

though

so just bear in mind that that may be

necessary depending on what you're doing

okay um the history panel each action

that you do appears in the history panel

if you can't find a panel

and this is in both programs you go to

the window menu

so i'm going to go to window in history

and here's my history panel

so it says i opened it i saved it i drug

it in there i moved something around i

pasted something i moved something

around i placed something and then i

rasterized the layer

so if i wanted to back way up to the

beginning when i drug that first one in

i can click back in my history instead

of hitting undo

a bunch of times you can also go to edit

and undo the state change

control z in photoshop is only going to

undo

one time so if you want to undo a bunch

of times you're best to use your history

now in photo p you can press ctrl z

multiple times

in photoshop you would actually do

control

alt z if you want to back up multiple

times

so control alt z is actually how we back

up

in photoshop and plain control z

in photo p so make sure you know the

difference between those two

um the navigator is another good one i

like to keep it up most of the time as

well

window and navigator and this allows me

to zoom up on the image

and back on the image without having to

go over and grabbing the magnifying

glass all the time

okay so we can zoom up now you can also

zoom up by using your keyboard so you

could say control plus

plus plus plus plus plus control minus

minus minus

you can press those or you can press

ctrl zero

and these work in both programs control

zero fits it on the screen

so if you got zoomed up real close and

it was like hanging off the screen and

you wanted it all to come back so you

can see it

control 0 is going to fit it to the

screen

okay i'm looking at my notes page to

make sure i've covered all of the basic

things when you're zoomed in really

closely

you can point to your navigator see how

you get a little hand

you can point to your navigator and use

that or you can come over and grab the

hand tool which does the same thing

but what i normally do is i press the

space bar

so watch when i'm pressing the space bar

and i'm holding it down right now like

it's still pressed

i can pick up and scoop this from inside

here

instead of having to go to this little

guy okay now that won't matter a lot

here in the beginnings of working with

photoshop but it will later on and

it just while you press the spacebar you

get the hand and when you stop pressing

the spacebar it goes back to whatever

tool you have which right now i have an

eraser

okay um some additional items we'll get

into in the next session when we're

talking about how to change the size of

things

and all that but i do want to show just

a couple of other items

so if we were changing the whole image

then there are a few things that we can

do

one of those things is we can

crop the whole image that's the crop

tool

and i'm sure you've seen the crop tool

and lots of other things you just

draw your box around what you want to

keep and it hits check mark

and it gets rid of everything else basic

cropping

you've done that on lots of things on

your phone and so forth

now on here on photoshop notice that

whenever we have an image and we open it

it's on a background layer

in photo p when we open an image it's

also on a background layer but it's not

locked well photoshop locks it so i'm

going to click on that and

unlock it if it's locked and we erase

we don't actually erase we end up with

some sort of background color

so i'm going to grab my eraser now and

now if i write see how i get

checkerboard

i wouldn't get that if my background is

locked so

if you're going to be erasing a

background you're definitely going to

want to unlock that background layer you

can tell because it actually even

renames the layer in photoshop

so i'm going to press ctrl plus plus

we're going to zoom up here and you can

see my little

frog now i have a kind of a soft brush

going on we haven't talked about

soft and hard brushes yet but eventually

we will

so to make your brushes bigger or

smaller and

erasers are called brushes in photoshop

they're just brushes that erase instead

of

paint um to make your brush bigger or

smaller to the right of the letter p

are brackets so if i push the left

bracket see my circle gets a little

if i push the right bracket my circle

gets big it's a lot

faster to use those keys than it is to

come up here at the top of your screen

and

change the sizes like there's a size

button but there's no reason to use it

there is literally a cat on my back

right

anyway um so that's one of the things

that you need to know about an eraser

the other thing is that our two programs

have different erasers so in photoshop

we have three erasers

and the first two we have on both um

photoshop has the best eraser which is

called the magic eraser

so let me show you how the magic eraser

works the magic eraser works by

basically

if you click it erases everything in

that color

that's connected so like this parts not

connected

but that's it it's like bam it's an

amazing eraser we don't have that in

photo p

so whenever i do the demo i'm actually

going to use photo piece so we'll put

together a document together

and i'll use photo p and show you how to

use the other erasers

the magic eraser pretty cool only

photoshop regular eraser works as you

would expect it would click and drag

around and things erase

but again if you're going to erase you

need to make sure that that background

layer

is indeed unlocked okay what if we

wanted to flip this the other direction

that's what we call mirroring to mirror

the whole

image you would go to image

image rotation and flip canvas

horizontal

and then it flips it the other way now

in photo p

it's pretty close to the same um there's

just one little difference in where to

go on the menu but

you'd be able to find it so it's in that

same kind of area

there are also some additional things

that you can do

up here under the image menu one of

those is adjustments

there's lots of adjustments in here i'm

only going to look at one of them

today which is the black and white

adjustment the black and white

adjustment will let you make it black

and white

or it will let you tint it

so that means i make it shades of

another color so i come in here and i

want to make it shades of blue

or red or purple or whatever i can do

that and then i can increase how much of

that color we're getting

so that's called tenting so basically

you turn it black and white and get rid

of the color

and then you tint it a color now this

has done the same in photo p

almost so let's take a look at it i'll

just do it with this image here

so i'm going to go to image and

adjustments and i'm going to go to black

and white

so there we go we got the same situation

if i click

colorize though so it's colorized

instead of tint

then i can come in here and pick a

different color so say blue

and okay and there we go so it works a

little bit different than the other one

but

it works so we can move these sliders

around to change

various parts of it so that's that one

to flip this one the other direction you

go to image

and then transform and then it's that

same thing flip

horizontally so as long as you kind of

know what menu to get to you can find it

regardless of which program that you're

in

it's not too hard to figure that part

out

okay resizing images so your image sits

on

what's called a canvas the canvas is

this invisible thing

so like if i pick up this frog and i

scoot him around now

that transparent area behind my frog is

the canvas that it sits on

so that's what that's called you can

make your canvas bigger or smaller

so if i go to image the image menu again

and canvas size

then i can make my canvas bigger so like

right now my canvas is five

and five inches and something wide if i

make it seven

inches wide and hit okay then my canvas

gets bigger on the edges

same thing with photo p we can also

enlarge the canvas

it doesn't work as nicely in photo p

unfortunately

um but if i go to image and canvas size

say i add this one's in pixels at the

moment but let's say i make it 800

pixels wide

then it expands it out now you can see

in this one

i hadn't deleted my image or my

background yet and so we have

transparent pixels out there but you get

the gist of it it's basically the same

concept

so enlarging canvas is the same

image canvas size and resizing images is

the same

it's under image image size and then

same d you just put in your

measurements for that same thing in

photoshop

image image size and then you can resize

the

image if you need it to be smaller you

should really never resize to be bigger

that's not considered a good practice

okay um i think that pretty much covers

the basics of it

in the demo of what we're going to do

together i'm going to use photop

instead of photoshop so for my students

if you are using it on a computer that's

totally cool if you want to use your

chromebook

that's also cool and just know that if

you're using your computer

you're either going to have to save your

file to your

actual computer drive or you can use the

google file stream

so all my computers in my lab should

have google file stream so if you go to

file save as

find the google drive file stream and if

you've never connected your account you

may have to do that

there should be a shortcut somewhere

just search for it

and then you can actually access your

google drive so these files here are

actually

on my google drive and then i've saved

this demo file there

and then it will sync up to my google

drive so that it's on my google drive

and then if it's on your google drive

technically you could even open your

photoshop file later

in photo p and continue to edit it

so even in photo p it does not

automatically save

like your google documents do so you are

going to have to take that extra time

to save your work and you want to save

it periodically you don't want to work

for an

hour and then save so you save as the

first time so you can give it a name

and then any additional saves you're

just going to go to file and save

and that's the way that works now in

photo

p it can be a little bit different

because it tends to download it so like

if i decided to save this document right

now

it's going to have me save it as a psd a

photoshop file

and technically it's going to have me

download that file to the computer

now again i can put that file on my

google file stream if i'm on a computer

or on your google drive if you're on

your chromebook so either way you can

still access that file

but you do have to save it it does not

save automatically so if you just close

out a photo p

and come back another day your file will

be gone

it won't be in there it doesn't hang on

to it for you

okay all right um

i think that's pretty much it all the

basic items here uh you'll learn a lot

more things as we put together a

document but i wanted you to at least

have an

overview of the panels and the way all

of these little things work

before we actually get into the project

so in the next

lesson let's hop into photop you're

going to be opening this background

image just like this

and we're going to start with the

background image and then we're going to

be

working with this frog fly image and

adding some additional things

in there so get ready

and make sure that you have good notes
