PG Quick Start Guide

UP AND RUNNING WITH PHOTOGRAPHICS 1.0 WELCOME TO PHOTOGRAPHICS! WHAT IS EXTENSIS PHOTOGRAPHICS™? PhotoGraphics 1.0 provides you with drawing tools and unparalleled text editing functionality for creating re-editable basic vector shapes and text on a path directly within Adobe® Photoshop®. It’s like having a mini-illustration program running right inside Photoshop! HOW CAN PHOTOGRAPHICS HELP ME? Using the special tools and options in PhotoGraphics you can: • Create a full range of editable vector shapes—complete with fill and stroke—using common vector drawing tools including line, pen, rectangle, ellipse, polygon and starburst. • Create multiple text blocks on any path, with complete independent control of placement and formatting of each block on the path using advanced text formatting options not available in Photoshop. ORIGINAL PHOTOSHOP IMAGE Features include multiple independent text blocks, character style sheets, individual character color, superscript and subscript, all caps, small caps, full justification, horizontal scaling, and vertical scaling. All formatting options—including baseline shift, kerning, tracking and leading—can be set using standard keyboard shortcuts. • Set the opacity of each object independently using object level opacity controls on the Options palette. • Set the level of anti-aliasing for each object from a sliding quality scale that offers more text and edge smoothing than Photoshop can offer. Anti-aliasing is set from the Options palette. • Save multiple illustrations right inside the Photoshop document and/or as separate drawing files, allowing them to be exchanged among users, reopened and re-edited at any time, even after they have been rasterized! • Create text and graphic layers right inside the PhotoGraphics plug-in, for even greater flexibility. …
