> New Features at Photoshop 6.0: > Superb Vector Support > Adobe� Photoshop� 6.0 provides integrated tools for creating and > outputting crisp, editable vector shapes and text. With these new tools, > you can incorporate resolution-independent, vector-based graphics and type > into pixel-based images to achieve an unparalleled range of design > effects. > The new rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse, polygon, and line tools let > you create a wide variety of vector-based shapes. These tools can be used > to create shape layers. Like Adobe Illustrator�, Photoshop 6.0 provides > pathfinder operations - Add, Subtract, Restrict, and Invert - for quickly > combining basic vector shapes into complex shapes. > With Photoshop 6.0, you can easily combine crisp, resolution-independent > type with pixel-based images, and then output sharp type edges with your > image to produce high-quality results. What's more, Photoshop includes > extensive new type formatting controls to help you produce the > best-looking text possible, including the new type-warping that lets you > twist and pull type to produce cool effects. Best of all, the type remains > directly editable in the image no matter how you manipulate it. > > Advanced PDF Output Options > Photoshop 6.0 extends its integration with Adobe products by offering > enhanced support for Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), including the > ability to save transparency, layers, and vector objects in PDF files. Any > service provider with Adobe Acrobat� InProduction(tm) (or other Acrobat > prepress plug-ins) can then prepare those PDF files for high-end printing. > > Layer Styles > Photoshop 6.0 presents an intuitive new layer effects interface, a new > selection of effect options, and new support for saving your layer effect > designs as layer styles for ongoing use. The new Layer Styles dialog box > shows at a glance which effects are applied to the currently selected > layer and lets you define which effects to use in a layer style. Once you > save a layer style, it appears in the new Styles palette. > Applying layer styles is easy: You create type, shapes, and other artwork > elements on a layer, and then click a style in the Styles palette to apply > it. Or, select a shape tool, choose a layer style from the > context-sensitive tool options bar, and then start drawing; Photoshop > applies the style as you draw. The combination of layer styles and the new > shape tools opens up a wide array of creative opportunities for print and > Web designers alike. > > Image Warping > With the new Liquify command in Photoshop 6.0, you can quickly distort or > warp an image by interactively pushing, pulling, rotating, enlarging, and > shrinking different image areas. These distortion controls are ideal for a > wide range of tasks from making fine warping adjustments to a small image > area to making sweeping adjustments for a wildly warped-out effect. When > you open the Liquify dialog box, you can display a fine mesh over the > image to help you achieve precise adjustments. To prevent unwanted > changes, freeze certain parts of the image and zero in on the areas you > want to modify. To switch between large-scale changes and finer > adjustments, vary the size of the brush you're using. The Liquify command > also provides options for reconstructing the original image as needed. > > Slice Tools > With the new slice tool and slice select tool, you can now slice Web > graphics directly in Photoshop 6.0. Create user-defined slices by dragging > over different image areas with the slice tool. Photoshop defines slices > automatically for the areas you don't define, so that an HTML table can be > generated during export. You can modify many attributes of Photoshop > slices, including size, position, stacking order, and visibility. > You can even select individual slices and apply different optimization > settings to them in the Save for Web dialog box. For example, apply GIF > settings to areas containing text and solid colors, and assign JPEG > settings to image areas. You can also assign a separate filename, URL > link, Alt tag, and JavaScript message to each slice. > > Weigthed Optimazion Controls > Photoshop 6.0 incorporates new weighted optimization controls that let you > use 8-bit alpha channels to smoothly vary compression settings across an > image. This technique produces higher-quality results in critical image > areas without having to slice up an image or handle the separate files > that slicing produces. Instead of being restricted to the rectangular > areas produced by slicing, you can optimize an image using the natural > contours of different image areas. This weighted optimization lets you > produce gradual variations in GIF dithering, lossy GIF settings, and JPEG > compression. Weighted optimization controls also let you favor colors in > selected image areas as you generate custom color palettes. > > Dynamic Layer-Based Slices > Photoshop 6.0 introduces a new way to slice images: Set up effects on > selected layers and then let Photoshop or ImageReady(tm) generate > layer-based slices for you. When you slice images this way, each slice is > bound to the outermost pixels on each layer. If you then reposition or > edit the content of the layer, the slice adjusts automatically to > accommodate the changes. This technique is particularly useful for > generating precise slices for rollovers. > > Tigther integration with Adobe ImageReady 3.0 > Considered an essential tool by Web designers worldwide, Adobe Photoshop > 6.0 extends its Web toolkit to include more timesaving, > production-oriented features, including tighter integration with its > advanced Web production tool, Adobe ImageReady 3.0. Photoshop 6.0 now > includes built-in slicing tools, so you can slice Web images and output > them directly from Photoshop or move them to ImageReady for more work. > Both Photoshop and ImageReady also offer dynamic layer-based slicing, > where the edge of the slice is bound to the outermost pixel on the layer > and adjusts automatically to any layer changes. New rollover styles, > enhanced image-map support, and weighted optimization controls all help > you streamline Web production or refine the visual results you can achieve > on-screen. Integrated vector-drawing tools and layer styles also > contribute to faster creation of sophisticated Web graphics. > > Enchanced Layer Management > Layers are more flexible than ever in Photoshop 6.0. Now you can create > hundreds of layers in an image to help arrange elements in an intricate > composition. In addition, you can use an array of new features to help > organize and manage layers more efficiently. For example, you can organize > layers into layer sets to help monitor related parts of the image. You can > also color-code layers to quickly identify layer relationships and lock > layers to prevent accidental edits to image data, transparency settings, > and layer position. You can even drag and drop layer effects in the Layers > palette to copy them between layers. The Layers palette also includes a > new menu for applying dynamic fill layers. Finally, enhanced export > features let you preserve layers in files saved in PDF or TIFF format > > Expanded text Feature > Photoshop 6.0 offers an expanded range of formatting options for both > Roman and Asian text. You can now enter, style, and edit text directly > within the image, without having to toggle back and forth from a dialog > box. You can even apply style and color edits to individual type > characters. If you rotate, scale, or skew your text in the image, the text > remains editable. In addition, you can apply new creative warping effects > to text without losing editability. > You can choose text options from the new Paragraph and Character palettes, > which work similarly to those in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign(tm). > New and enhanced text options include alignment, paragraph justification, > auto-leading, and more, on a per-paragraph basis. The English version of > Photoshop provides professional-quality hyphenation settings with control > over the minimum word size, minimum number of characters before and after > a hyphen, number of consecutive hyphens, and hyphenation zone. > Photoshop 6.0 includes extensive Asian formatting controls such as the > following: Tsume for manual kerning; Tate-chu-yoko for setting horizontal > text within vertical text; Kinsoku shori for setting word breaks; > Burasagari for hanging punctuation; and Mojikumi for auto-kerning and > justification. > > Streamlined Interface > Photoshop 6.0 introduces numerous interface enhancements designed to make > it easier and more efficient to use its powerful features. The new > context-sensitive options bar provides more direct and intuitive access to > all of the options that control what you do with each tool. You can also > use the palette well in the options bar to organize frequently used > palettes where they are tucked out of your way but immediately accessible. > A new context menu lets you switch the measurement units of rulers on the > fly. And in Windows, the Open dialog box provides convenient thumbnail > previews of images, which you can browse in order to find the image you > want to open > > Preset Manager > The new Preset Manager centralizes management of your custom brushes, > gradients, shapes, contours, patterns, and layer styles and offers instant > access to the extensive libraries of presets included with Photoshop 6.0. > When you create your own custom presets, you can easily save them in > library files using the Preset Manager. Those libraries can then be loaded > at any time or shared with colleagues to streamline their creative work. > In addition, preset libraries are available for similar one-click loading > anywhere they are used, including the options bar, the Styles palette, the > Gradient Editor dialog box, and other locations. > The Preset Manager is resizable, so you can easily scan the content you're > loading. Plus, the Preset Manager menu lets you choose how to view the > content - in large or small thumbnails, in large or small text lists with > thumbnails, or as a text-only list. > > > > > ------------[ MasterWEB - www.master.web.id ] ------------- Moderator : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Berlangganan : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Stop Berlangganan : [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------
