I find it easier to start with an image when I design a Website, and these are
the basic steps I follow:

1. First, using Photoshop, create an image that mimics the general layout
you'd like to use for your site.
2. Once you're happy with the image you'll need to "slice" it up for use in
your Website template. In this process, it helps to have a working
knowledge of HTML. You must know how tables work, so that you can
slice your image in a way that will work with tables.
3. Then it's time to create an HTML document that's comprised of those
slices. This will become the template you'll use to create all the pages
of your Website.

Desktop publishing (also known as DTP) combines a personal computer

and WYSIWYG page layout software to create publication documents on a
computer for either large scale publishing or small scale local multifunction
peripheral output and distribution.

The term "desktop publishing" is commonly used to describe page layout

skills. However, the skills and software are not limited to paper and book
publishing. The same skills and software are often used to create graphics
for point of sale displays, promotional items, trade show exhibits, retail
package designs and outdoor signs.

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer technology for the

design of objects, real or virtual. CAD often involves more than just shapes.
As in the manual drafting of technical and engineering drawings, the output
of CAD often must convey also symbolic information such as materials,
processes, dimensions, and tolerances, according to application-specific
conventions.

PRESENTATION GRAPHIC:-A type of business software that enables users

to create highly stylized images for slide shows and reports. The software
includes functions for creating various types of charts and graphs and for
inserting text in a variety of fonts. Most systems enable you to import data
from a spreadsheet application to create the charts and graphs.
Presentation graphics is often called business graphics.

Education & training

 If a picture is worth a thousand words, there can be few more obvious
uses for it than in the area of imparting knowledge to others. As noted
previously (see the chapter on Multimedia) text is not a very natural
teaching medium for us. Not only does it have a low information density but
it also results in processing overheads for the brain, insofar as it is a
symbolic representation of information that has to be decoded. Still and
moving images, on the other hand, usually require no decoding (although
they need a lot of interpretation) and have high information densities.
Moreover, the human visual system has evolved to be highly efficient at
information gathering and processing, so the presentation of information as
graphic takes advantage of this natural ability.

Entertainment :-An entertainment is any activity which provides a

diversion or permits people to amuse themselves in their leisure time.

Entertainment is typically passive - as in watching opera or a movie.

Activities which involve participating in games or sportsare more often
considered to be recreation.Activities such as personal reading or practising
a musical instruments are considered as hobbies.

Information graphics or infographics are visual representations of

information, data or knowledge. These graphics are used where complex
information needs to be explained quickly and clearly, such as in signs,
maps, journalism, technical writing, and education. They are also used
extensively as tools by computer scientists, mathematicians, and
statisticians to ease the process of developing and communicating
conceptual information

we move on to moving pixels around both within your document, and from
one document to another. It's funny, but we find that even expert users
forget or never learn this basic stuff, so we urge you to read this section
even if you think you already know all there is to know about navigating in
Photoshop.

Option bar:

If you are preparing your images for commercial printing directly from
Photoshop, you can select and preview a variety of page marks and other
output options using the Print command. Generally, these output options
should be specified only by prepress professionals or people knowledgeable
about the commercial printing process.

Screen modes:
1. Pressing the 'F' key allows you to scroll through the different screen
modes. The first mode is Standard Screen mode which is the default.

2. Next comes Full Screen mode with Menu Bar. In this mode, the
background becomes gray; if you would like to change this, select what
color you would like the background to be as your foreground color, select
the paint bucket and while holding Shift, click on the gray. The gray
becomes your foreground color. Very useful.

3. The last screen mode is Full Screen Mode. You'll notice that you don't
have a Menu Bar. But if you're a Window's user, you'll notice an arrow on
your Toolbox. Click on it, and would you look at that? You actually do have a
menu bar (if you're using Windows). This feature isn't available on the Mac.
Windows users rejoice :). The Full Screen Mode is very useful when you're
on very large images. Also, if you have most of the shortcuts in Photoshop
memorized, hit the Tab key and all the palette and the Toolbox disappear,
giving you a clutter free work environment.

Adobe Bridge is an organizational program created and released by Adobe

Systems as a part of the Adobe Creative Suite, beginning with CS2. Its
primary purpose is to link the parts of the Creative Suite together using an
interface similar to the file browser found in previous versions of Adobe
Photoshop. It is accessible from all other components of the Creative Suite
(except for the standalone version of Adobe Acrobat 8).

Adobe Bridge is also included with the stand-alone Photoshop application,

and can perform certain Photoshop processing functions separately (and
simultaneously) with Photoshop itself.

Adobe Bridge allowed for access to Adobe Stock Photos, an online collection
of stock photography images drawn from well-known stock photo houses.
However, the service was discontinued by Adobe on April 1, 2008.

Bridge has many functions such as batch rename and other utilities to help
with organization, and supports editing of digital images in Camera Raw
format. Organizational features include assigning colored labels or star
ratings to images, the ability to edit the XMP and IPTC Information
Interchange Model metadata embedded within an image file, and the ability
to work with different versions and alternates of a file that is part of an
Adobe Version Cue project.

Image files can be shown in different sized thumbnails, slide shows or lists.
Each folder, which can be bookmarked, has a cache file for speeding up
rendering time of images when viewing a thumbnail. The cache can be in
one central location or in individual folders.

Adobe Bridge is extensively customizable using JavaScript. The Adobe Stock

Photos service was implemented as a Bridge Extension. The Bridge scripting
guide is available online as well as in paperback.

You can use the History panel to jump to any recent state of the image
created during the current working session. Each time you apply a change
to an image, the new state of that image is added to the panel.

For example, if you select, paint, and rotate part of an image, each of those
states is listed separately in the panel. When you select one of the states,
the image reverts to how it looked when that change was first applied. You
can then work from that state.

You can also use the History panel to delete image states and, in
Photoshop, to create a document from a state or snapshot.

To display the History panel, choose Window > History, or click the History
panel tab.

Keep the following in mind when using the History panel:

• Program-wide changes, such as changes to panels, color settings,

actions, and preferences, are not reflected in the History panel,
because they are not changes to a particular image.
• By default, the History panel lists the previous 20 states. You can
change the number of remembered states by setting a preference.
Older states are automatically deleted to free more memory
for Photoshop. To keep a particular state throughout your work
session, make a snapshot of the state.
• Once you close and reopen the document, all states and snapshots
from the last working session are cleared from the panel.
• By default, a snapshot of the initial state of the document is displayed
at the top of the panel.
• States are added to the bottom of the list. That is, the oldest state is at
the top of the list, the most recent one at the bottom.
• Each state is listed with the name of the tool or command used to
change the image.
• By default, when you select a state, the states below it are dimmed.
This way you can easily see which changes will be discarded if you
continue working from the selected state.
• By default, selecting a state and then changing the image eliminates
all states that come after it.
• If you select a state and then change the image, eliminating the states
that came after, you can use the Undo command to undo the last
change and restore the eliminated states.
• By default, deleting a state deletes that state and those that came
after it. If you choose the Allow Non-Linear History option, deleting a
state deletes only that state.
