All right, welcome back.
So in this lecture, we're going to talk about general Photoshop preferences.
So let's head over to Photoshop and the first thing I do is I'm going to go to edit and where we go
to preferences.
And I'm like, click on General.
And so what I'm going to be doing throughout this course is we're just going to be working in the preferences
tab.
So I'm just going to have this window open at all times.
And whenever I start a new lecture, I'll just have that preference highlighted here.
So we're going to go through all these preferences here and we're going to do it one by one.
So in the general preferences tab, you can see that we have a color picker.
And so you can select.
The adobe color picker or Windows guy, the HUD color picker.
You can do a couple of different options or you can do the whoo hoo wheel large, medium, small, huge
stripe, large, medium and small.
OK.
It's gonna give you the ability to work with what they already said as a pre.
What Adobe set?
As a as a default standard is what I'm trying to say.
Her default preference.
So keep all this the same.
Now you'll see here we have options so we can do auto update.
Open documents.
Disable the home screen.
Use legacy.
New document interface script.
Transform in place in use legacy free transform.
Beep when done expert clipboard resize image during place and then always create small objects when
placing so you can turn these on and off as you wish.
And the one that I actually turned off was this one.
This was actually checked use legacy, new document interface.
So if I hit OK and I go to create new.
When that was checked, this wasn't showing up and I'm going to show you what it does when you do that.
So if I go to edit and we go back to preferences and let's go to General, OK?
When I turn this on and I hit.
OK.
And then I do create new.
It's going to give me a different interface.
Now, I don't mind this interface, but I prefer the thumbnail interface because it's easier to when
you're trying to teach people how to do presets.
OK.
This is kind of hard to explain to people because there's no visual aid when I click on this.
OK, I see Web Lucy mobile app design.
But when I go here back to edit and preferences, you can also use control k, which I want to do right
now when I turn this off and I hit OK and I create new, what that's going to do is now I have thumbnails.
So when I go to photo I can show you the presets.
You can see them all visually, right.
When I go to print.
Same thing.
We can go and we can grab any preset that we need to hear.
And we have a visual aid.
Same with art and illustration.
Same with Web.
You can see all the different presets that they have here.
Same with Mobile.
And there's quite a few of them here.
So we can scroll down and go through each one and then film and video.
And the nice thing about the thumbnails over the list is what this does is it not only gives you the
name of the preset, but also gives you the resolution since 1920 by 10, 80 and then 70 to DP IUPUI.
OK, so that just increases the efficiency of this screen.
And that's just one example that you can use when you're using the general preferences.
So with that.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to go to the interface and I'll see in the next lecture what we're
going to talk about the interface preferences.
Thanks for watching.
I'll see in the next lecture.
