Page 62: About Image Size And Resolution
Adobe Photoshop Help Getting Images into Photoshop and ImageReady Using Help Contents Index Back Vector graphics are resolution-independent—that is, they can be scaled to any size and printed at any resolution without losing detail or clarity. As a result, vector graphics are the best choice for representing bold graphics that must retain crisp lines when scaled to various sizes—for example, logos.

File size is proportional to the pixel dimensions of the image.

Page 86: Working With Color
Adobe Photoshop Help Working with Color Using Help Contents Index Back Working with Color About color modes and models (Photoshop) A color mode determines the color model used to display and print images. Photoshop bases its color modes on established models for describing and reproducing color.
Page 87 Adobe Photoshop Help Working with Color Using Help Contents Index Back Although you can use the HSB model in Photoshop to deﬁne a color in the Color palette or Color Picker dialog box, there is no HSB mode available for creating and editing images.
Page 88 Adobe Photoshop Help Working with Color Using Help Contents Index Back Although RGB is a standard color model, the exact range of colors represented can vary, depending on the application or display device. Photoshop’s RGB mode varies according to the working space setting that you have speciﬁed in the Color Settings dialog box.
Page 89 Adobe Photoshop Help Working with Color Using Help Contents Index Back L*a*b model The L*a*b color model is based on the model proposed by the Commission Internationale d’Eclairage (CIE) in 1931 as an international standard for color measurement. In 1976, this model was reﬁned and named CIE L*a*b.
Page 90 Adobe Photoshop Help Working with Color Using Help Contents Index Back Although Grayscale is a standard color model, the exact range of grays represented can vary, depending on the printing conditions. In Photoshop, Grayscale mode uses the range deﬁned by the working space setting that you have speciﬁed in the Color Settings dialog box.
Page 91: Adjusting The Monitor Display
When you’re working with a display system that supports 8-bit color, the monitor displays only 256 different colors at a time. As a result, Adobe Photoshop uses a technique called dithering to mix pixels of available colors and thus simulate colors not currently available.
Page 92 Adobe Photoshop Help Working with Color Using Help Contents Index Back To select a color display option: 1 Do one of the following: In Windows or Mac OS 9.x, choose Edit > Preferences > Display & Cursors. • In Mac OS X, choose Photoshop > Preferences > Display & Cursors.
Page 93 Photoshop stores and displays color information in images. About color channels Every Adobe Photoshop image has one or more channels, each storing information about color elements in the image. The number of default color channels in an image depends on its color mode. For example, a CMYK image has at least four channels, one each for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black information.
Page 94 Adobe Photoshop Help Working with Color Using Help Contents Index Back To convert between 8 bits per channel and 16 bits per channel: 1 To convert to a 16-bit-per-channel image, ﬁrst ﬂatten the image. (See “Flattening all layers” on page 295.)

Page 97 Otherwise, the pattern will be tiled. For example, if you apply a 1-inch-by-1-inch pattern to a 4-inch-by-4-inch image, the pattern appears as 16 squares. Adobe Photoshop comes with several self-tiling patterns that can be used as halftone screen patterns.

Conversion options for indexed-color images (Photoshop) When converting an RGB image to indexed color, you can specify a number of conversion options in the Indexed Color dialog box.
Page 99 For the Uniform, Perceptual, Selective, or Adaptive palette, you can specify the exact number of colors to be displayed (up to 256) by entering a value for Colors. The Colors text box controls only how the indexed color table is created. Adobe Photoshop still treats the image as an 8-bit, 256-color image.

To provide you with a choice, a color management system lets you choose a color management engine that represents the approach you want to use.

Page 142 Adobe Photoshop Help Making Color and Tonal Adjustments Using Help Contents Index Back In most situations when you are printing on white paper, you can achieve a good highlight in an average-key image using CMYK values of 5, 3, 3, and 0, respectively. An approximate RGB equivalent is 244, 244, 244, and an approximate grayscale equivalent is a 4% dot.
Page 143 Adobe Photoshop Help Making Color and Tonal Adjustments Using Help Contents Index Back With a high-key image, you might want to set the shadow to a higher value to maintain detail in the highlights. Experiment with Brightness values between 4 and 20.
