Selecting Areas
In FastARTIST, if you want to apply a Tone Curve
adjustment or Unsharp Masking to speci fi c
areas, you must double-click on the object to
make the bitmap tools available. You then click
on the Lasso tool (Hint: It looks like a lasso) and
hold down the mouse button while drawing
around the area you wish to modify. When you
release the mouse, you will have a yellow outline
identifying the selected area. Now, anything you
do ONLY happens to this area.
In Photoshop, you can choose an area with one
of the Selection Tools on the Toolbar. Click on the tool that looks like a Lasso
and draw around the object while holding down the left mouse button. When
the mouse button is released the selected area will be identi fi ed by what is
called “Marching Ants” – small moving lines around the selected area. While
the area is selected, any changes made will only apply to this area. To remove
the marching ants, go to the Select > De-Select (You can also use the keyboard
shortcut of [Ctrl] + D). If you want to select square or round areas, use the
Marquee Tool (top left tool) and use this the same way you would use the Lasso
tool.
Channels and Layers
What really separates Photoshop from FastARTIST
and CorelDRAW is the ability to work in Layers to
build images. Therefore, whenever you are using
Photoshop, you should have both the Channels
Palette and Layers Palette open.
People often get these confused so here are the
rules: The Channels Palette is used to
create output- Channels print. The Layers Palette
is used to create or build the image. You use the
Layers Palette to put various components
together including adding Type to an image.
Layers don’t print.
You will also notice that your Channels Palette shows four channels: RGB,
Red, Green and Blue. Your test fi le probably only shows one Layer, called
Background.
For more details on using the Layers Palette in Photoshop, consult the Adobe
User’s Manual or In Program Help sections.
