Look for a partner and share your ideas. What is a document? Document is an electronic or hard copy of reference material for a product To write and create an electronic document on a computer, you can use a word processor or other text editor. Computers running Microsoft operating systems commonly store document files in a.DOC,.DOCX, and.RTF file. These files are commonly composed of text only, but in some cases, may also include graphics. In Adobe Photoshop, the file that you will create is also called a document. This document mostly contains the graphics you will be editing and may also include text. WORKSPACE A workspace is a specific collection of the interface settings or configurations. These settings include the set of panels, shortcuts, menu items and other interface elements. Adobe Photoshop comes with built-in set of workspaces. The default workspace is the ESSENTIALS workspace OPENING A FILE USING THE OPEN COMMAND To open a file: 1. From the Menu bar, choose File > Open. 2. Navigate to the location of your image. 3. Select the file. 4. Click the Open button. OPENING A FILE USING THE OPEN RECENT COMMAND The recent command is used in opening the latest files you have opened. By default, Adobe Photoshop saves a list of 10 recently opened files. To open a file: 1. From the Menu bar, choose File > Open Recent. 2. Select the file from the list. OPENING A FILE USING THE ADOBE BRIDGE: To open a file by using Adobe Bridge: 1. Click the Adobe Bridge button in the Application bar. 2. From the Favorites panel in the upper left section of Adobe Bridge, browse to the folder where you store your images. 3. In the Favorites panel, double-click the image folder to open it.

This will make your window floating. To dock a floating window, drag the title bar below the Options bar and release the mouse when you see a blue line surrounding the work area. DOCUMENT WINDOW COMPONENTS Title bar – displays the filename, the zoom level percentage, the active layer, the color mode and the bit depth per channel Window controls – contains minimize, maximize/restore and close buttons Canvas – contains the visible area of the image Zoom level – displays the zoom level percentage and can be used to zoom in or zoom out the image Status bar – contains a set of information about the image Scroll bars – used to move the display of the image left, right, up or down; they only appear when the size of the document window is smaller than the display of the image NAVIGATING THE CANVAS Navigating the canvas involves the task of panning and zooming. Both of these can be done through the use of: components of the document window, Zoom and Hand tools, Application bar and Navigator panel. ✓ ZOOMING – the task of changing the magnification level of the display; uses the Zoom tool Zooming in – moves the display closer so that you will see the details of the image Zooming out – moves the display farther making you see the image as a whole ✓ PANNING – the task of moving the display of the direction of the image element that you want to view; uses the Hand tool  ACTIVITY Name the component of Document Window. 1 2 3 4 5 REFLECTION Why is document window important in Adobe Photoshop?  Digital Imaging.
