Know Your Image in Photoshop

Every image in Photoshop also includes two additional components, a window and a canvas. The canvas is the virtual paper on which the image is drawn. The window is the area on the screen in which the image appears. When you open an image in Photoshop, the image will appear within its window. The window

functions just like a window containing a Word document or an

Excel spreadsheet.

    * To enlarge the image window, click on the maximize button

    (labeled with a box symbol) in the window’s upper right

    corner.

    * To minimize the image window, click on the minimize button

    (labeled with a minus symbol) in the window’s upper right

    corner.

    * To close an image, click on the close button (labeled with an x)

    in the window’s upper right corner.
