Main ideas / lessons (Part 1: Documents, Layers, Tools)

This tutorial explains the foundational workflow in Adobe Photoshop for beginners, focusing on:

  • Creating a new document with correct size, resolution, and color mode
  • Using and managing layers (reordering, naming, coloring, duplicating, grouping)
  • Navigating the canvas with pan/zoom using hotkeys
  • Learning the core tools used for selection, moving/resizing, editing, cropping, slicing, exporting, and color picking

Detailed methodology / instruction lists

1) Creating a new document

  • Open New Document

    • Click: File → New
    • Or press CTRL + N
  • Set document settings

    • Name the document
    • Set canvas size (example: 1920 × 1080 for a 16:9 cellphone screen)
    • Orientation
      • If you want portrait, change orientation
    • Resolution
      • For web / social media: 72
      • For print / high detail photos: 300
      • Concept: higher resolution = clearer detail, but heavier on performance
    • Color Mode
      • RGB = for screens/web (colors match what you see after export)
      • CMYK = for printing (example: banners)
        • CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black
    • Background / canvas content
      • Transparent is allowed
  • Create

    • Click Create / Done
  • Fit view to screen

    • Click: View → Fit on Screen
    • Or press CTRL + 0

Hotkeys mentioned:

  • CTRL + N (New Document)
  • CTRL + 0 (Fit on Screen)

2) Working with Layers

Key concepts:

  • Layers are essential in Photoshop.
  • The top layer is what appears in front.

A) Practice focus: selecting and reordering layers

  • Use the Layers panel (beginner guidance: focus on layer structure)
  • Example workflow:
    • Select a specific layer (e.g., “20 thousand”)
    • Drag upward to bring it to the front

B) Create a new layer

  • Click the paper icon (“new layer” icon)

C) Rename a layer

  • Double-click the layer name (e.g., “1, 2, 3, 4…”)

D) Change a layer’s color in the panel

  • Right-click the eye icon
  • Choose a color (e.g., green, yellow) to visually organize layers

E) Select multiple layers quickly

  • To show only layers of a chosen color:
    • Right-click the eye icon and choose the layer color filter
  • Multi-select:
    • Click one layer, then hold CTRL and click others
    • Or hold SHIFT and select a range

F) Duplicate layers

  • Duplicate with same position:
    • Layer → New → Layer via copy
    • Or press CTRL + J
  • Duplicate and move:
    • Hold ALT while moving
  • Group layers:
    • Click the folder icon (create group)
    • Or press CTRL + G

Hotkeys mentioned:

  • CTRL + J (Duplicate Layer via Copy)
  • ALT + Move (Duplicate & move)
  • CTRL + G (Group Layers)

3) Pan & Zoom navigation

Context: Designers often zoom in for details when editing large designs.

Zoom

  • Zoom Tool: press Z
  • Zoom in:
    • Click + hold/drag (as demonstrated)
