#02 - Learning in Basic Photoshop Settings

Here in the second day in Principles of Design and Color Theory. Today, I've learned a lot of things about learning Adobe Photoshop settings and this is also my first time going in the settings of Photoshop. I've also learned why is it so important in every Multimedia Artists, professional or not, from all over the world. Well, I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and I'm just a beginner for using Photoshop.

What have I learned?

All of the things I've learned today are listed below:

• First thing of all, for resetting settings:
• In General Preferences, they are all default and the only thing I've changed is the Zoom with Scroll Wheel. After enabling that option, I tried it and it feels a lot easier in zooming my work every time in Photoshop. I've been also understanding Nearest Neighbor and Bicubic. I've been working with choosing these two interpolation.
• In Interface Preferences, it is just the outside beyond the working area. If you want to have a black background than gray, so be it. It is very simple by the way.
• In File Formatting Preferences, I just learned about the kind of file should I use and the data of the saved file.
• In Performance Preferences, this is the most interesting part I've learned today. This is just setting the Memory Usage, History & Cache, Scratch Disks, and GPU Settings. In this part, I've learned which kind of computer should I use while working in Photoshop and in all programs, a computer with a very high RAM like 8GB RAM, a 64-bit Operating System, and a video card with a very high performance for Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects editing, and doing 3Ds.
• In Cursors, well, it is just the kind of cursor I wanted to be in while working.
• In Transparency, I've learned the output of the empty part of the project space of an image. 
• In Units & Rulers, this is also one of the most interesting part I've learned. In Units, I do want to use inches so I got how. By the way, Document Preset Resolutions are lot important to me in Photoshop. I've been basically using Photoshop in 72dpi. Well, I used 300dpi in a project recently during the 1st semester. And I observed and learned the difference between 72dpi and 300dpi: The appearance when they're printed. I can work on both depending on what kind of project I wanted to do.
• In Guides, Grid & Slices, I've learned about the colors I wanted to use in Guides, Smart Guides, Grids, and Slices. It is just changing colors and nothing else. It also purposes on a guide with the same color as a project.

Everything I've learned is really important in my career because that will guide me on working with proper and care, and to have no mistakes done.
