The File Browser
The File Browser lets you search for images visually and intuitively, as well as by name. Easy-to-view thumbnails let you quickly organize
and retrieve images from your hard drive, external drives, CDs, and disks within Adobe Photoshop. In addition, information about each
file is provided, such as creation date, modification date, annotations, and EXIF information (Exchangeable Image File) from digital
cameras. The File Browser lets you rename, rank, sort, and rotate as well as manage image folders. By default, the File Browser displays
four panes, all of which can be adjusted according to your preferences.

A. The tree pane displays the hierarchy of the files, folders,

and drives on your system. D
B.The preview pane displays a thumbnail of the current
selection. A E
C.The metadata pane displays detailed information
about the current selection, such as an image’s file name,
date created, image format, and any information entered
in the File Info dialog box. In addition, files containing
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) data may be displayed
if available. For example, many digital cameras save
information about an image’s creation date, exposure B
settings, image size, resolution and so forth.
D.The File Browser menu lets you select a variety of options
for opening, selecting, naming, rotating, and viewing
images.
E. The thumbnail pane displays thumbnails in a variety of
ways, including by size, rank, and text detail.
C
F. The Rank By and Sort By pop-up menus lets you select
ranking and sorting options.
Note: File Browser panes can be resized by dragging a top,
bottom, left, or right border.

1) Make sure that Adobe Photoshop 7.0 is open; then Choose File > Browse. By default, the File Browser is a docked palette, stored in
the palette well at the top right of your screen.
2) Drag the File Browser tab out of the palette well. If necessary, reposition is so you can see the entire window. Note: The palette well
is not available if you’re working on a monitor that can only display 800 x 600 pixels; choosing File > Browse automatically displays
the File Browser window.
3) From the tree pane, open the Sample Files folder you installed earlier; then click the Digital Camera folder. Thumbnails are displayed
in the thumbnail pane.
At the bottom of the thumbnail pane, viewing options are accessed via the pop-up menus.
4) Choose Medium to display thumbnails of all the images in the folder.

5) Click an image in the thumbnail pane. The image is displayed in the preview pane, and information about the image is displayed
in the metadata pane. Note that all the images in the folder display EXIF data in the metadata pane because they were taken using
a digital camera.
In the lower-left corner of the metadata pane, a pop-up menu lets you select viewing options to view all the image data or only the
EXIF data (which includes any information entered in the File Info dialog box). Scroll down to see all the image data.

2
The File Browser lets you rename individual files or groups of files. To rename individual files, simply click a thumbnail name and type
a new name. To move from one thumbnail name to the next, press Tab. To rename multiple files simultaneously, begin by selecting
all the images in the thumbnail pane.
1) From the thumbnail pane, click the black triangle and choose Select All from the File Browser menu.
2) Return to the options menu and choose Batch Rename. A message appears to indicate that rotation and ranking information will
be lost.
3) Click OK to display the Batch Rename dialog box. In the Destination Folder area, be sure that the Rename in same folder option is
selected. In the File Naming area, six fields let you determine file renaming options. Each field lets you select an option from the list,
or you can type your own. As you select options, an example is displayed above all the fields.

4) In the top left field, enter the name Pasta.

5) In the field to the right, from the Show Options menu, select 2 Digit Serial Number. This option adds a two-digit number in ascending
order to the first and subsequent file names (.01, .02, etc.).
6) In the third field, select the lower-case extension option. If desired, select a compatibility options for additional platforms (Windows,
Mac OS or Unix).
7) Click OK to rename all the files; then deselect the files.

The File Browser lets you create a ranking system to easily identify and group images. For example, you can rank and then sort images
to classify files based on quality and importance.
1) At the bottom of the thumbnail pane, using the View By menu, change the view from Large to Large with Rank. A Rank field appears
under each thumbnail in the pane.

2) On the first image, click next to Rank; then type suspend to establish a file rank.
3) Tab to the next image and type best to define a different rank.
4) From the Sort By menu, choose Rank to resequence the files by rank. Notice that images without rank are placed at the start of
the sequence.

5) Choose Ascending Order from the Sort By menu to resequence the files in alphabetical order.

3
The File Browser lets you rotate one or more images, by 90 or 180 degrees, clockwise or counterclockwise.
1) Select the files Pasta01.jpg, Pasta02.jpg, Pasta03.jpg, and Pasta04.jpg. To select the discontiguous thumbnails, Command-click
(Macintosh) or Ctrl-click (Windows) (Be sure to click the thumbnail, and not the file name.)
2) At the top right of the thumbnail pane, click the black triangle to open the File Browser menu and choose Rotate 90º CW. A dialog
box appears indicating that rotation is applied only to the thumbnail. Rotation is applied to the file when it is opened in Adobe
Photoshop.
3) Click OK. The images are rotated from horizontal to vertical in the Thumbnail pane and the Preview pane.

Editing images
The introduction of the healing brush tool and Auto Color command provide greater control for correcting imperfections and removing
color casts. The healing brush fixes dust, scratches, flaws, and other imperfections, and the Auto Color command automatically removes
color casts from images. In the next few steps, you’ll use the healing brush to correct imperfections in one area of the image using
a sample from another part of the image.
1) From the File Browser, click Up One Level, and then navigate to and open the Piccolo Markets folder and open AntonioG.tif.
2) Select the zoom tool in the toolbox. On the Options bar, select Resize Windows To Fit; then click Actual Pixels.
3) Select the hand tool in the toolbox and drag down to bring Antonio’s face and forehead into the window.
4) Select the healing brush tool in the toolbox. ( ) For best results, you should select a brush size that closely corresponds to the
size of the imperfection you want to correct. In this example, you’ll use the default brush size of 21 pixels. Next, you’ll sample an
unwrinkled area of Antonio’s forehead to paint over another wrinkle.
Do one of the following:
•For Macintosh, Option-click the healing brush above the second wrinkle on Antonio’s forehead to set the sample point, and then
release the Option key.
•For Windows, Alt-click the healing brush above the second wrinkle on Antonio’s forehead to set the sample point, and then release
the Alt key.
7) Next, position the cursor and drag to paint over the area you want to correct. In this example, paint across one of the lines on
Antonio’s forehead. As you drag, the area may display different (darker or lighter) tonal and color values; however, when you release
the mouse, the area is automatically corrected and blended. Note: The difference between the clone tool and the healing brush tool
is that the clone tool produces and copies an exact replica of the source information to the destination area, and the healing brush
modifies the color and tonal values of the source area to match the destination area.

Healing brush during correction

8) Continue to experiment by removing other lines and imperfections from Antonio’s forehead or chin. Note: If you notice discrepancies
in color, that is, colors don’t seem to be blending well, avoid areas with high contrast or you can use a selection tool to isolate the
correction’s effect.
Next, you’ll use the patch tool to remove some of the crow’s feet around Antonio’s eye. The patch tool uses the same technology as
the healing brush, but is initiated by creating a selection from which to sample. You’ll use the patch tool to make correction in two
ways: first, you’ll use correct the source (or selected area) of an image, and then you’ll correct the destination (or selected area) in
another.
1) In the toolbox, select the patch tool from the healing brush pop-up menu. ( ) On the Options bar, click the Source option. When
you position the cursor in the image area, the lasso tool appears.

4
2) Select the crow’s feet around Antionio’s left eye; then position the cursor within the selection marquee. The icon now becomes
the patch tool. Now, click and drag the selection marquee over an unblemished area; then release the mouse button. The patch
tool samples the unblemished area and then replaces the source or selected area, blending tones and color values for a seamless
correction.

The initial selection The repositioned selection

3) After you experiment a bit more, close the file without saving.
Now, you’ll make corrections to a file using the destination option by selecting an unblemished area and using it to replace a
blemished area.
4) From the File Browser, open PiccoloFounder.tif.
5) Select the zoom tool in the toolbox; then click Actual Pixels in the Options bar. Using the hand tool, drag down to position the
founder’s face in the window.
6) Select the patch tool in the toolbox; then select the Destination option in the Options bar.
7) Position the pointer in the window to display the lasso tool, then drag a selection over an unblemished area. Now, position the
pointer within the selection; then drag over a blemished area and release the mouse button to correct the area.

The initial selection The repositioned selection

Note: You can use the selection as an eraser, which can then be moved over various flaws and imperfections in the image.
8) Continue experimenting; then close the file without saving.
The Auto Color feature has been added to complete Adobe Photoshop’s set of automated color-correction tools, and can be used to
automatically remove color casts from images. The Auto Color command adjusts the contrast and color of an image with a slightly
different algorithm than the Auto Levels command.
1) From the File Browser, open Peppers.tif. Choose Image > Duplicate. Accept the default name and click OK.
2) Arrange the original image and the copy side-by-side on your screen.
3) Click Peppers.tif; then choose Image > Adjustments > Auto Levels. The Auto Levels command automatically adjusts brightness,
contrast, and tonal values of the original image. However, in this image, the neutral values still have a color cast.
4) To remove the color cast throughout the image, click Peppers copy.tif and choose Image > Adjustments > Auto Color.

Auto Levels Auto Color

5) Close both files without saving.

Creative Enhancements
To meet the multimedia demands of today’s marketplace, Adobe Photoshop’s new tools and features let you explore creative
expression in novel ways. In this section, you’ll create background patterns using the Pattern Maker, use the enhanced Liquify features
to create and apply a mesh, and use the new painting engine to simulate fine-art painting. In addition, you’ll learn how to create
brush presets and tool presets, and create a personalized workspace specifically for painting tasks.
The Pattern Maker lets you create tiled or seamless patterns, which can be stored in the pattern library. All patterns in the pattern
library are available for all pattern-related tools, including the pattern stamp tool, the healing brush and patch tools, layer styles, and
Fill options. After patterns are created and saved in libraries, they are available globally. In this example, you’ll create a pattern from
parsley in the image to fill in a blank area.
1) From the File Browser, open Bottles.psd.
2) Choose Filter > Pattern Maker.
3) Select the rectangular marquee tool in the top left corner of the Pattern Maker window, and then drag a marquee in the lower-left
corner to select an area of the parsley. (Avoid including either of the bottles in the selection.) The selection will be used to generate
a pattern.

4) Click Generate to preview the pattern. By default, Adobe Photoshop simulates a new tiled pattern based on the size of the selection.
At the bottom of the window, the status bar displays information, including the magnification, image size, tile grid, sample width and
height, and the current tile preview.
5) To see the current boundaries of the parsley selection, select the Tile Boundaries option in the Preview area of the window. In this
example, notice that there are repeating lighter areas in each tile.
6) To create a single seamless tile, click the Use Image Size button. The Use Image Size option creates a seamless tile the same size
as the original image.
7) Click Generate Again to regenerate the tile based on the new settings. Note that the tile boundary now includes the entire image.
Each time you click Generate Again, Adobe Photoshop generates a slight variation of the original pattern and adds it to the Tile
History. Up to 20 tiles can be stored at one time. In addition, you can use the Smoothness and Sample Detail options for increased
variation.
8) To modify the variation of your tile, experiment with these options and be sure to click Generate Again each time you make an
adjustment. Now, you’ll review your stored patterns and select your favorite to add to the pattern library.
9) In the Tile History area, use the navigation options under the tile preview to look at your stored patterns.

6
10) Select your favorite pattern sample, and then click Save to the left of the navigation tools to save the pattern.
11) In the Pattern Name dialog box, name the pattern Parsley and click OK to save it to the pattern library in Adobe Photoshop.
12) Click Cancel to close the Pattern Maker window. Next, you’ll use the Parsley pattern to fill in an area of the bottles image.
13) In the toolbox, from the clone stamp pop-up menu, select the pattern stamp tool.
14) In the Options bar at the top of the window, click the Pattern drop-down menu to display the stored patterns and then select
the parsley pattern you just created.

15) To define a brush size, click the Brush drop-down menu and change the Master Diameter to 45 pixels and then press enter to
close the menu.
16) Position the brush on the part of the image where the table shows; then brush to add the pattern, being careful to avoid the
bottle.

Before After

Note: For more precise results, make a selection or create a new layer on which to paint.
17) Close the image without saving.
In Adobe Photoshop 7.0, the Liquify command has been enhanced to provide greater image editing control. In this example, you’ll
create realistic-looking steam on a pizza. First you’ll adjust and preview the steam on a low-resolution image, and then apply it to a
higher-resolution image when you’ve perfected it.
1) From the File Browser, open PizzaLowRes.psd. Notice that the steam and the pizza are on separate layers. In the Layers palette, be
sure that the steam layer is the targeted layer.
2) Choose Filter > Liquify. The smoke layer, which is the targeted layer, is displayed.
3) In the View Options section of the Liquify window, choose Backdrop, select Background from the drop-down menu, and change
the opacity to 100 percent. The backdrop option lets you see how other parts of the image correlate to the layer you’re editing, and
you can vary the opacity to see more or less of the backdrop image as you work.

4) From the tool palette in the Liquify window, select the warp tool ( ).
5) In the Tool Options section, change the brush size to 100 pixels.
6) With the warp tool positioned over the preview, add bends and curves to the steam to make it more realistic. If at any time you
don’t like your results, press Command-Z (Macintosh) or Ctrl-Z (Windows) to undo your changes.

10) Click OK to apply the mesh. Next, you’ll apply the mesh to the high-resolution version of the pizza image.
11) From the File Browser, open PizzaHiRes.psd.
12) Choose Filter > Liquify; then select 50% from the view options in the lower left of the window.
13) Click the Load Mesh button, select the steam mesh, and click Choose to apply the mesh to the preview.
14) Click OK to apply the mesh to the high-resolution image. Notice that the identical mesh has been applied to both images.
15) Close both pizza images without saving changes.

Creating a workspace
You can now create workspaces to save palette groups and locations for specific types of tasks. For example, you might group and
display different palette arrangements for retouching, web projects, specific clients, and so forth. For this example, you’ll arrange the
palettes for painting later in the project.
1) Reset the palettes to the default settings by choosing Window > Workspace > Reset Palette Locations.
2) Close the following palettes: Navigator and Info; History, Actions, and Tool Presets.
3) Drag the Layers tab out of its palette group; then close the Channels and Paths palette.
4) Drag the Brushes tab out of the palette well into the Layers palette.

5) Align the remaining palettes for easy access; then choose Window > Workspace > Save Workspace.
6) Name the workspace Painting and click Save.
7) Take a minute to reset your palettes, as you did in step 1, and then load your Painting workspace by choosing Window > Workspace
> Painting.

Creating and viewing brushes and brush presets
The new Adobe Photoshop painting engine lets you create exceptional imagery by simulating traditional painting techniques
(including pastels and charcoal) with wet and dry brush effects and use brushes to apply natural effects, such as grass and leaves.
In addition, you can create your own distinctive Adobe Photoshop canvases by scanning a variety of materials, or use the canvas
textures included with the software.
In addition to creating new brushes, called brush presets, you can edit existing brush presets to create new ones. Brush presets include
options for brush shape, tilt, spacing, scatter, jitter, diameter, texture, and shading. In addition, you can adjust a brush’s opacity, assign
a painting mode, and control the flow.
After you create a new brush preset or customize an existing one, you can view them in the Brushes palette. The brushes you create
are accessible from either the Brushes palette or the Brush Preset picker. In addition, options set in the Options bar can be saved with
any brush and added to the Tool Presets Picker.

Brushes palette, Brush Preset picker, and Tool Preset picker

The Brushes palette lets you set a wide variety of brush attributes and save them as a preset, just as Layer Style options let you define
and apply multiple effects and save them as a style. The painting engine lets you create scalable custom brushes to achieve unusual,
one-of-a-kind images. In the following steps, you’ll see how to create a new brush from an existing image.
1) From the File Browser, open TomatoBrush.psd.
2) Choose Edit > Define Brush to define the entire image as a brush.
3) Name the brush OriginalTomato and click OK.
4) Select the paintbrush tool from the toolbox.
5) On the Options bar, click the Brush thumbnail to display its drop-down list. The new brush is displayed at the bottom.

16) From the Swatches palette, click a color you like to paint with.
17) Drag the brush to paint. Notice the brush size, scatter, and colors change based on the settings you selected in the Brushes
palette.

18) In the Brushes palette, click Brush Tip Shape; then click the maple leaf brush tip shape.

Notice that the brush attributes (Shape Dynamics, Scattering, and Color Dynamics) are retained from the tomato brush, and only the
shape is changed.
19) Try painting in the window with the new shape.
Next, you’ll experiment by applying attributes from both the Brushes palette and the Options bar to build a customized tool preset.
By default, attributes defined in the Options bar are not included in the Brushes palette, but you can build a customized tool by
combining attributes from both.
20) In the Brushes palette, click Brush Presets and select the TomatoAltered brush.

21) From the Options bar, select Difference from the Mode menu, change the opacity to 50% and then paint in the window.

by lowering the opacity in the Layers palette.

12) Close the file without saving changes.

13) Choose Window > Workspace > Reset Palette Locations to return to the default palette settings.

Putting it all together

In this exercise, you’ll work with a number of new features to prepare a mailer for Piccolo Markets. First, you’ll create a tool preset, a
powerful feature that lets you create custom tools for painting, retouching, text editing, and paragraph formatting. To prepare the
document for final output, you’ll check the spelling in both English and Italian using the multi-lingual dictionary, and assign security
settings to the Adobe Photoshop PDF before sending it to the printer. Finally, you’ll create a sheet images on a single page to save
time and costly printer consumables.
1) From the File Browser, click the Up One Level button, open the Mailer folder, and then open all the files.
2) To view all the open images on the desktop, choose Window > Documents > Tile.
3) Select the crop tool. On the Options bar, enter 57 px in the Width field and 77 px in the Height field.

13
4) To define a customized tool preset for the crop tool with the current width and height settings, click the tool preset icon at the top
left and choose New Tool Preset from its options menu.

5) Accept the name and click OK.

6) Select the Bottles.psd image, then use the zoom tool to reduce the view to 25%.

8) Select the move tool; then drag each image into the Mailer.psd window and then use the guides to position each of them in a
blank area.

9) In the Layers palette, double-click the text of Layer 1 and Layer 2, and change the names to peppers and bottles, respectively.
10) Choose View > Clear Guides.

The new spell checker allows you to search and replace text, check spelling in English and foreign languages within the same file,
and correct spelling on one text layer or across all text layers in the same document. In this example, you’ll start by tagging the non-
English expression in the mailer.
1) Select the type tool from the toolbox and drag across the words Moltto Bene.
2) Choose Window > Character to display the Character palette, then select Italian from the language pull-down menu at the bottom
of the palette. Press Enter to mark the text as Italian.

3) Choose Edit > Check Spelling to begin checking the type layer. At the bottom left of the Check Spelling dialog box, the language
of the current spell-checking dictionary is displayed. Ignore the first correction; it is not recognized because it is a name. The second
correction, the word “choise” is also referenced by the English dictionary, and is misspelled.
4) Choose the word choice in the Suggestions area and click Change. The final correction, the word “Moltto” is referenced by the
Italian dictionary, and is also misspelled.
5) Choose the word Molto in the Suggestions area and click Change.

Outputting to the web

Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and ImageReady 7.0, included with Adobe Photoshop, provide Web-optimization features and enhancements
for creating sophisticated images and effects. In this section, you’ll learn how to make image elements transparent, seamlessly blend
Web graphics onto any background, assign a higher priority to a text layer to reduce file size while crisp outlines, create a Selected
State in the Rollover palette in Adobe ImageReady, and create a Web Photo Gallery. Note: The first four tasks—remap to transparency,
remap a color, dither transparency, and optimize text—can be completed in either Adobe Photoshop 7.0 or Adobe ImageReady 7.0.
For this tutorial, instructions are provided for use with Adobe Photoshop. This next exercise shows you how to use the color remapping
feature to make last-minute changes to a file before posting it on the Web.
1) From the File Browser, from the Piccolo Markets folder open Logo.psd. In the Layers palette, notice that this is a flattened file.
2) Choose File > Save for Web. At the top of the dialog box, four viewing tabs are displayed. Note: Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady
now let you preview and save for Web in WBMP for≠mat, commonly used for displaying images on PDAs and wireless devices.
3) Click the Original tab to see the original image; then click 2-Up to see two horizontally oriented images.
4) In the Settings area, select GIF from the format options and Colors to 128.
5) In the Save for Web dialog box, select the eyedropper tool and then click the cyan border in the lower image. The cyan color is
selected in the Color Table. To remap the selected color to transparent, click the Transparent icon at the bottom of the Color Table.

Selecting the color Remap to transparency

The border on the lower image is updated, and the icon appears in the Color Table showing both the before and after adjustments,
which are cyan and transparent, respectively. You can also hover over the swatch in the Color Table to see updated information in
the tool tip.
16
Note: You can return to the original color by clicking the colored area of the swatch in the Color Table and then clicking the
Transparency icon. If you have mapped multiple colors to transparency, select each swatch in the Color Table and then click the
Transparency icon.
6) Now, still working with the lower image, click the eyedropper tool on the white border surrounding the Piccolo Markets text. The
color is automatically selected in the Color Table.
7) Double-click the color to display the Color Picker; then enter 660000 in the # (hexadecimal) field and click OK to replace the
color.

Replacement color in Color Table

The icon is updated to display the original color and the adjustment color. You can also hover over the swatch in the Color Table to
see updated information in the tool tip. Note: Double-clicking the swatch displays the Color Picker with the original color selected.
However, you can select any other color you want. At this point, Adobe Photoshop 7.0 has allowed you to easily remap colors to
transparency and to different colors. You’ve been able to preview your changes right away, and you haven’t changed the original file.
If you clicked Save, your changes would only affect the Web-optimized version of the file.
8) Click Cancel to save without making any changes and close the FlatLogo file; then close the Logo.psd file.
The dithered transparency option in Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady lets you create partially transparent effects for the Web,
increasing the visual appeal of Web-based images. Using the dithered transparency option, images can be blended onto any
background or patterned background without having to first choose a matte color. Since the GIF file format does not support partial
transparency, and so converts any transparency in an image to 100%. Adobe Photoshop 7.0 offers a unique solution by creating a
dither pattern to simulate varying levels of opacity for graphics when placed over either solid or patterned backgrounds on Web
pages. Because the transparent pixels in the image do not require blending with a matte color when saving the file, a single graphic
may be used in multiple places on multiple backgrounds.
1) From the File Browser, open Tomato.psd. Notice that the image was designed with the web in mind; it is a layered document
without a background.
2) Choose File > Save for Web, be sure GIF is selected and the number of colors is 128.
3) From the Transparency options drop-down menu, select Diffusion Transparency Dither to simulate a drop shadow for the web.

17
To preview the image in the browser with the background color of the actual web page, you can select the color by clicking the
swatch next to the Matte option.
4) Choose the background color of your web site from the Color Picker and click OK. If your Web site uses a patterned background,
it is not necessary to choose the Matte option.
5) Click the Preview in Browser icon at the bottom right of the window to preview the image as it will appear on your site. ( )
6) Return to Adobe Photoshop by clicking the image window.
When optimizing images for the Web, you can keep vector art and text looking crisp by letting Adobe Photoshop or ImageReady
automatically assign a higher priority to those areas. This lets you reduce overall file size by giving the areas you want to emphasize—in
this case, text—a higher quality than the other image areas.
1) With Tomato.psd open in the Save for Web window, change the number of colors to 16 to decrease the file size. The Color table
and image preview are updated w/16 colors.
2) Click the mask icon next to the Color Palette option. In the Modify Color Reduction dialog box, you can prioritize areas of the image
for different amounts of compression.
3) Click All Text Layers to prioritize the text optimization.

Notice that the tomatoes lose the green color values because the color palette is weighted in favor of the colors in the text. This is
reflected in the Color Table, which now displays significantly more colors from the type than the tomatoes. Toggle the Preview option
to display the difference between the original image and the adjusted image. You can also weight an image based on an individual
channel. In this file, an alpha channel was created and saved based on the tomato layer.
4) To see channel optimization, deselect the All Text Layers option and select tomato channel from the Channel menu (this channel
was saved with the file). In this case, the color of the tomatoes is stronger and the text colors are compromised. (The colors in the
Color Table contain significantly more colors from the tomato than the type.)

5) Click Cancel and close the file without saving changes.

6) From the File Browser options menu, choose Dock to Palette Well.

ImageReady 7.0
After you’ve designed images in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe ImageReady 7.0 lets you slice, optimize, define image maps, and create
rollovers and animations. The new Rollovers palette lets web designers see all the slices, rollovers, image maps, and animations of an
image in a single palette, making it significantly easier to author and navigate web content. An added feature is the ability to add
layer-based rollovers by simply clicking a button in the palette.
1) From the Sample Files folder, open the ImageReady folder and open WebMockup.psd.
2) Click the Jump to ImageReady icon ( )at the bottom of the Adobe Photoshop toolbox to start ImageReady. Notice that the
file you opened in Adobe Photoshop is available in the Adobe ImageReady win≠dow, and that the file remains displayed in Adobe
Photoshop so that changes are automatically tracked in both applications.

3) Drag the Layers palette and the Rollovers palette out of their palette groups, close the remaining palette groups, and then align
the Layers palette and the Rollover palette next to each other and expand them vertically.
4) In the What’s Fresh layer set, click the Fresh Tab layer.
5) In the Rollovers palette, click the Create layer-based rollover icon ( )to slice the What’s Fresh tab as well as to automatically create
an overstate. In the image window, the What’s Fresh tab is automatically sliced based on the contents of the layer; if you later move
the tab, the slice moves with it. In the Rollovers palette, the Fresh Tab rollover and its Over State area displayed.

6) On the Layers palette, change the opacity for the Fresh tab layer to 100%.
7) On the Rollovers palette, choose New Rollover State from the palette menu to automatically create a Down State.
8) To change the Down State to a Selected State, double-click Down State, click Selected from the Rollover State Options dialog box,
and click OK.
9) In the Layers palette, click the eye next to the Fresh Rollover layer.

Now, you’ll repeat the rollover creation process for the Recipes layer set and the Guest Chef’s layer set.
10) In the Recipes layer set, click the Recipes Tab layer.
11) In the Rollovers palette, click the Create layer-based rollover icon to slice the Recipes Tab.
12) On the Layers palette, change the opacity for the Recipes Tab layer to 100%.
13) On the Rollovers palette, choose New Rollover State from the palette menu.
14) Double-click Down State, click Selected from the Rollover State Options dialog box, and click OK.
15) In the Layers palette, click the eye next to the Pasta Rollover layer.
16) In the Guest Chefs layer set, click the Guest Chef Tab layer.
17) In the Rollovers palette, click the Create layer-based rollover icon to slice the Guest Chef Tab.
18) On the Layers palette, change the opacity for the Guest Chef Tab layer to 100%.
19) On the Rollovers palette, choose New Rollover State from the palette menu.
20) Double-click Down State, click Selected from the Rollover State Options dialog box, and click OK.
