PSD is Photoshop's proprietary format that can store information in multiple layers. It's useful when you have edited/are editing an image in separate layers and want to return at a later time to make changes to one or more of those layers. PSDs also do not use compression, so you won't loose image quality from saving your file; this is ideal for editing and if you want to save out your image in multiple file formats with different resolution and compression settings, while preserving the original image quality within the psd.

Considering that transparency and opacity are opposites, yes. Something completely transparent is not at all opaque, and something completely opaque is not at all transparent. However, something which is 50% transparent is also 50% opaque, and something 25% transparent would be 75% opaque, and something 25% opaque would be 75% transparent.

Transparency and opacity are at the opposite ends of the same scale.

When you have your desired image open, there will be a menu bar at the top beginning with drop-down options like "File", "Edit", "Select", etc. One of these menus is called "Image". Click this and you will see a list of options, including one called "Scale Image". Select this.

Once you have selected it, a "Scale Image" dialogue box will pop up. You can set it to a certain number of pixels or you can scale by percent, picas, inches, etc.

Note: By default, your image will scale evenly. That is to say, if you enter 50% as your X scale, your Y will automatically change to 50%. To stop this feature and distort the image by scaling on the X or the Y, click on the chain. It will appear unlinked once you have done so. To reverse this, just click it again and it will link.

Click OK when you have entered your desired scale size.

You're done!

I hope this has helped you. =]

With any project you always want to create a background copy layer first, then do your work in that layer.

To color in a specific area, select the Magic Wand tool (looks like a magic wand) from the toolbar, then click in the area you wish to select and color. If it selects too big of an area, you'll need to lower the fill percentage on the Layers panel. Drop it by 10% intervals until you get the area you want. If the area has a lot of colors, you may have to increase your zoom level and color individual pixels.

Once you have the area selected, go to Edit - Fill, then use the Fill window to choose the color you wish. If it's a color from another image, you'll need to have that image open and visible for the eyedropper tool to select it.

Alternatively, you can use the Polygonal Lasso tool to select the edges of the area you wish to fill, or you can use the Eraser tool to erase the current pixels and then fill with the color you want.

To unlock layer press padlock icon on top of layers stack on LAYERS palette, when padlock icon on right side of layer is gone do what you want to do with that layer.

You can change color of the guides from Edit > Preferences at Guides, Grid & Slices tab. If you have Rulers visible you can do that on the fly, double click on rulers to open preferences or navigate mouse button with Move Tool selected above guide to turn into two sided lines the double click to open Preferences dialog.

Well, between the two of those, I would go with Freehand, just for the graphics.

For animating, you would want to use a vector-based drawing program for at least all of the moving parts. That is, if you are animating in 2D rather than 3D. You could use Photo shop for your background (the scene) if there are no moving parts (animations) in the background, and you would rather try to make the scenery appear more realistic. However, using a vector-based program for the background is also a better idea. Suppose you have a ringing phone, shaking in the scene - it would be easier, and better, to do this along with the rest of the background in vector rather than raster. Photo shop is raster. Raster is difficult to animate at a good quality.

Above either of these programs, I would recommend Adobe Flash for animating. Adobe Flash can do everything from the drawings to the actual animation of the graphics via a time line and effects you can apply.

Dupe the layer, then with the selection tool active, hit control T. Now it's transformed and you have handles on the corners. Go to Transform under edit (I think) and find flip verticle. Hit return to get out of Transform. Move the image below the original and reduce the opacity of the dupe a little . Now add a gradient mask to the dupe and change it to Multiply. Select the outline of the image and play with the gradient mask till it looks good.

• When used appropriately, a layered design can lessen the overall impact of changes to the application.

•Allows you to modify a component without disturbing the next one

•Design scalable and maintainable web applications rapidly

•Increase security level of an application

For the Initial Skills Review test the answer is:

Line Graphics and Bar Graph

Go to your top tabs that say File, Edit, Image, etc.
