Key takeaways
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)

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

- Drag upward to bring it to the front
B) Create a new layer

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
