Conventions Used in This Book
I’m not too conventional (what writer/Photoshop artist/scuba diver/tap dancer is?), so I’m not a great one for setting conventions. However, to get us all on a level playing field, I came up with a few items for consistency. They include:Command keys: You press the command keys in combinations to activate commands — Shift, Ctrl, and Alt for Windows, and Shift, z, Alt, and Control for Mac. When using control keys in this book, I list the Windows version first followed by a backslash and then the Mac version. So, if I tell you to copy a layer with command keys, it appears like this: Ctrl+J/z +J.
Drop-down lists versus pop-up menus: Menus that appear when a button or arrow is clicked are known as drop-down lists in Windows and pop-up menus on the Mac. Instead of bogging you down with terminology throughout the book and writing “Choose the Widget item from the drop-down list/pop-up menu,” I made a blanket decision to call this feature a drop-down list. After all, these menus do appear to drop down more often than they pop up.
New terms are italicized: When I introduce a new term or concept, it first appears in italics. After the italics is a quick definition explaining exactly what the italicized term means.
Filenames, paths, and Web addresses are set in monospace font: For instance, the Adobe Web site is www.adobe.com . My e-mail address is
