CORRECTIONS AND CROPPING

GET READY TO PRINT

As you continue your study of Photoshop CC, you’ll learn how to prepare your documents for printing. To get the best quality print, you want to be sure that each image is the right size and resolution. You’ll learn technical terms, explore menus, and look at ways to be sure your prints will be just the right size. You’ll see how to use the Crop tool with more control and feel confident about printing when you finish this lesson.

RIGHT SIZE FOR THE JOB

Whether you want to use your image on a website, in an email, or for a large print, you need to be sure the size is right. If it’s for the Web, you’ll want it to be small enough to load quickly, but still sharp and clear. If you need an enlarged print, you’ll want to be sure it has all the quality of the original. This can be a stumbling block for some new Photoshop users, so you’ll take your time and practice with several images to help you learn all the steps. The lesson will also go over how to use Photoshop’s tools for artistic cropping so your images are both artistically and technically the best they can be.
