We decided that a PC based tutorial was more sensible due to our audience. We also feel that the program itself is virtually identical on either platform, save for a few minor differences. The Photoshop interface consists of four elements, the toolbar, palettes, and pull down menus. We will cover all three in detail. The toolbar is where one selects icons, or tools in order to perform a task.
Palettes are where colors are selected, layers are modified, and other preferences are configured.
We will cover palettes in limited detail in this tutorial. That means we will explain what they are, but will not cover them in great detail. The pull down menus are similar to many other programs. Photoshop has the standard File, Edit, View, etc. Most of the menus work in a similar fashion as most other programs.
