Review Q&A

Describe at least two types of images you can open or add to a document.
You can use a photograph from a digital camera. You can also use a scanned image of a photographic print, a transparency or negative film frame, or a graphic. You can use images downloaded from the internet such as photography from Adobe Stock, or images uploaded to your Cloud Documents or your Lightroom photos.

How do you select tools in Photoshop?
To select a tool in Photoshop, click its icon in the Tools panel, or press the tool’s keyboard shortcut. A selected tool remains active until you select a different tool. To select a hidden tool, either use a keyboard shortcut to toggle through the tools or click and hold the tool in the Tools panel to open a pop-up menu of the hidden tools.

Describe two ways to zoom in to or out from an image.
Choose commands from the View menu to zoom in on or out from an image or to fit it onscreen, or use the zoom tools and click or drag over an image to enlarge or reduce the view. You can also use keyboard shortcuts or the Navigator panel to control the display of an image.

How would you reverse the most recent change you made?
Choose Edit > Undo or Edit > Toggle Last State, or press its keyboard shortcut. (Another correct answer is to choose an earlier document state in the History panel, although that was not shown in this lesson.)

What are some ways to make panels use less space on your screen?
You can use any combination of grouping and docking panels together, collapsing them, or hiding them.
