To access the Photoshop Help system, plus some other useful information, look no further than the handy-dandy Help menu. If you’re using the Mac OS, the Help menu also lets you turn Balloon Help on and off.
Because you can view the Help screens (they pop up in a Web browser window) simply by pressing F1 (or Ô+? on the Mac), you may not visit the Help menu very often, but if you ever want to find all your help resources in one location, this is the place to be. Here are some other help sources:
-->The Welcome Screen allows you to access valuable tips and tutorials.
See the earlier section, “Getting a WarmWelcome,” that describes this new feature. The About Photoshop splash screen displays the version number of your Photoshop program. That way you’ll always know if you’ve installed the latest patches and updates to Photoshop CS.
-->The About Plug-In entry displays a list of all the plug-ins you’ve installed for Photoshop.
Selecting an item in the list shows an About screen of version information for that plug-in. On a Mac, both the About Photoshop splash screen and About Plug-In menu are on the Photoshop menu.
-->The Export Transparent Image and Resize Image choices launch a wizard (assistant on the Mac) that leads you step by step through all the decisions you need to make to create an image that includes transparency. For example, you might want to create some text in Photoshop and then have it appear to “float” above your Web page’s background. The Resize Image Wizard (Assistant on the Mac) leads you through adjusting the image size so the document will print at the size you want.
-->The System Info entry displays information about your computer, its operating system, and available memory, plus Photoshop-specific data such as the location you set for your Plug-Ins folder. If you like, you can click the Copy button to copy this information to the clipboard, and then paste it in a text document and print it out.
-->The Updates, Registration, and Photoshop Online choices access Internet resources for Photoshop.
