Installation help is available at Adobe. They offer a trial download of the application if you register with them.

Opening photoshop the first time

After installation you are offered the opportunity to run Photoshop. You will be offered an option or two depending on the version of Photoshop that you install.

A common prompt box that appears is one offering the configuration of Color Settings. The message displays something like “Color settings for Photoshop CS will be configured using default…” This is simply offering you the option to edit your color settings at this time, which is probably not a good idea since you may not know a great deal about Photoshop as of yet. The best option for now is to not edit your color schema at this time and save it for a later lesson.

After that, another box will pop up offering tutorials, tips and tricks, and again the color settings option. Links also exist with information about the new features of Photoshop. The built in tutorials are great! They offer lots of great examples and a walkthrough of many sorts.

If you close this box, you are now starring at the program desktop. There should be a toolbar on the left hand side of the screen as well as several “boxes” along the right hand side. In the middle lies the stage. The stage is where you will open, create, and edit images using Photoshop.
