As you use this book, you’re sure to run across some icons sprinkled in the margins. Each icon has a purpose, which I define here:Time-Shaver This handy little icon marks interesting tidbits that can save you time, tell you how to do something faster, or just generally help speed things up. When you’re working in Photoshop, editing and manipulating images can take lots of time. (I can’t even remember how many times I’ve looked at the clock and realized that two hours have just gone by in what felt like two minutes.) These handy hints help speed you on your way.Tip When I have an interesting idea, or a special feature is worth mentioning, I use this icon. Tips can explain how to use an alternative method or point the way to something helpful.Remember This icon is like the string tied around your finger — without the numbness and blue skin tone. You don’t need to memorize the info marked with this icon. However, try to remember that this icon indicates a special Photoshop feature that you may need to know for future endeavors.Warning I hate being worried or feeling pressured, so I don’t want to pass anything on to you. I use this icon — which serves to protect you from file damage or worse — only when it’s really, really necessary. There’s no need to get uptight about stuff, so you don’t see this icon very often. (I think I use it only three or four times in the whole book.) Photoshop and your computer are there for you (not the other way around). If you make a mistake or get frustrated, you can just leave the computer and come back after a cappuccino — the computer will still be there waiting ever so patiently for you.
