Basic Photo Corrections - Adobe Photoshop CC - page 38

Note
It's important to understand what “100% view” means when you
work onscreen. At 100%, one image pixel = one monitor pixel.
Unless the resolution of your image is exactly the same as the res-
olution of the monitor, the image size (in inches, for example) on-
screen may be larger or smaller than the image size will be when
printed.
The number of ink dots per inch (dpi) produced by a platesetter or laser printer is
the printer, or output, resolution. Higher resolution images output to higher res-
olution printers generally produce the best quality. The appropriate resolution for
a printed image is determined both by the printer resolution and by the screen fre-
quency, or lines per inch (lpi), of the halftone screens used to reproduce images.
Keep in mind that the higher the image resolution, the larger the file size, and the
longer the file will take to print or to download from the web.
For more information on resolution and image size, see Photoshop Help.
Opening a file with Adobe Bridge
In this topic, you'll work with different start files in each lesson. You may make
copies of these files and save them under different names or locations, or you may
work from the original start files and then download them from the peachpit.com
website again if you want a fresh start.
In this lesson, you'll retouch a scan of a damaged and discolored vintage photo-
graph so it can be shared or printed. The final image size will be 7x7 inches.
Note
If Bridge isn't installed, you'll need to install it from Adobe
Creative Cloud. For more information, see page 3 .
In Lesson 1 , you used the Open command to open a file. You'll start this lesson by
comparing the original scan to the finished image in Adobe Bridge, a visual file
browser that helps take the guesswork out of finding the image file that you need.
1. Start Photoshop, and then immediately hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win-
dows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) to reset the default settings.
