Adobe Photoshop 鲜为人知的73个技巧 【命令技巧】
23).如果你最近拷贝了一张图片存在剪贴板里,Photoshop在新建文件[Ctrl+N] ( File/New... )的时候会以剪贴板中图片的尺寸作为新建图的默认大小。 要略过这个特性而使用上一次的设置,在打开的时候按住Alt键[Ctrl+Alt+N] ( Alt + File ?New... )。
24).按Ctrl+Alt+Z和Ctrl+Shift+Z组合键分别为在历史记录中向后和向前 ( 或者可以使用历史面板中的菜单来使用这些命令 )。结合还原[Ctrl+Z] ( Edit/Undo )命令使用这些热键可以自由地在历史记录和当前状态中切 换。
25).Alt+Backspace和Ctrl+Backspace组合键分别为填充前景色和背景色,另一个非常有用的热键是 Shift+Backspace - 打开填充对话框。 提示:按Alt+Shift+Backspace及Ctrl+Shift+Backspace组合键在填充前景及背景色的时候只填充已存在的像素( 保持透明区域 )。
26).在使用自由变换工具[Ctrl+T] ( Edit/Free Transform )时按住Alt 键( Ctrl+Alt+T 或 Alt + Edit/Free Transfrom )即可先复制原图层( 在当前的选区 )后在复制层上进行变换。 提示:Ctrl+Shift+T ( Edit/Transfrom Again )为再次执行上次的变 换,Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T( Alt + Edit/Transfrom/Again )为复制原图后再执行变换。
27).要防止使用裁切工具[C]( Crop Tool )时选框吸附在图片边框上,在 拖动裁切工具选框上的控制点的时候按住Ctrl键即可。
28).要修正倾斜的图像,先用测量工具在图上可以作为水平或垂直方向基准的地方画一条线( 像图像的边框、门框、两眼间的水平线等等 ), 然后从菜单中选Image/Rotate Canvas/Arbitrary,打开后会发现正确的旋转角度已经自动填好了,只要按确定就OK啦。 注意:也可以用裁切工具来一步完成旋转和剪切的工作:先用裁切工具 [C]画一个方框,拖动选框上的控制点来调整选取框的角度和大小,最后 按回车实现旋转及剪切。提示:测量工具量出的角度同时也会自动填到数字变换工具( Edit/Transform/Numeric )对话框中。
29).使用“通过复制新建层[Ctrl+J] ( Layer/New/Layer Via Copy )” 或“通过剪切新建层[Ctrl+J] ( Layer/New/Layer Via Cut )”命令可以在一步之间完成拷贝 & 粘贴和剪切 & 粘贴的工作。 注意:通过复制( 剪切 )新建层命令粘贴时被仍放在它们原来的地方,然而通过拷贝( 剪切 )&粘贴会贴到图片( 或选区 )的中心。
30).裁剪图像( 使用裁剪工具或选Edit/Crop )后所有在裁剪范围之外的 像素就都丢失了。要想无损失地裁剪可以用“画布大小( Image/Canvas Size )”命令来代替。虽然Photoshop会警告你将进行一些剪切,但出于某种原因事实上并没有所有“被剪切掉的”数据都被保留在画面以外。 提示:ImageReady的剪切命令( Image/Crop )会提问要删除剪切区域还是隐藏起来。注意:这对索引色模式不起作用( 在索引模式下用画布大小命令会损失画面以外的像素 )。
31).合并可见图层时按住Alt键[Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E] ( Alt + Layer/ Merge Visible )为把所有可见图层复制一份后合并到当前图层。 提示:同样可以在合并图层( Layer/Merge Down )的时候按住Alt键,会 把当前层复制一份后合并到前一个层。这个命令没有相应的热键-- Ctrl+Alt+E不起作用。
Adobe Photoshop 鲜为人知的73个技巧 【工具技巧】
15).任何时候按住Ctrl键即可切换为移动工具[V],按住Ctrl+Alt键拖动鼠标可以复制当前层或选区内容。
16).按住空格键可以在任何时候切换为抓手工具[H]( Hand Tool )。
17).缩放工具的快捷键为“Z”,此外Ctrl+空格键为放大工具,Alt+空格键为缩小工具。
18).按Ctrl+“+”键以及“-”键分别为放大和缩小图像的视图;相对应的,按以上热键的同时按住Alt键可以自动调整窗口以满屏显示( Ctrl+Alt+ “+”和Ctrl+Alt+“-” ),这一点十分有用!(注意:如果想要在使用缩放工具时按图片的大小自动调整窗口,可以在缩放工具的选项中选择条整窗口大小以满屏显示( Resize Windows to Fit )”选项。)
19).用吸管工具选取颜色的时候按住Alt键即可定义当前背景色。
20).结合颜色取样器工具[Shift+I]( Color Sampler Tool )和信息面板 ( Window/Show Info ),我们可以监视当前图片的颜色变化。变化前后 的颜色值显示在信息面板上其取样点编号的旁边。通过信息面板上的弹出 菜单可以定义取样点的色彩模式。要增加新取样点只需在画布上随便什么 地方再点一下( 用颜色取样器工具 ),按住Alt键点击可以除去取样点。 注意:一张图上最多只能放置四个颜色取样点 提示:当Photoshop中有对话框( 例如:色阶命令、曲线命令等等 )弹出时,要增加新的取样点必须按住Shift键再点击,按住Alt+Shift点击一个取样点可以减去它。
21).度量工具( Measure Tool )在测量距离上十分便利( 特别是在斜线上 ),你同样可以用它来量角度( 就像一只量角器 )。首先要保证信息面板[F8] ( Window/Show Info )可视。选择度量工具点击并拖出一条直线,按住Alt键从第一条线的节点上再拖出第二条直线,这样两条线间的夹角和线的长度都显示在信息面板可视。
Adobe Photoshop 鲜为人知的73个技巧 【界面技巧】
Photoshop之所以在拥有强大功能的同时依然保持了良好的使用性, 很大程度上应该归功于其整齐精练的界面和简单易用的可自定义性( 除了它大量的工具和命令 )。事实上,Photoshop中拥有大量令人惊异的“隐藏”功能。无论你用过Photoshop多少年,都会不断发掘出越来越多的东西。我怀疑会有谁宣 称他知道关于Photoshop“所有”的东西( 可能Adobe的软件工程师要除外 )。
下面的75个技巧将会帮助你( 无论你是新手还是经验丰富的专家 )掌握Photoshop的一些“隐藏”功能,以助于更快更有效的完成复杂工作;或者它们会告诉你一些你以前所不知道的Photoshop的能力。为了您的方便起见,我把它们分为八个部分来讲:
【界面技巧】
1).你可能知道按Tab键可以隐藏工具箱和浮动面板,同样按Shift+Tab键 可以只隐藏浮动面板( 而保留工具条可见 )。
2).按住Shift键点击浮动面板的标题栏可以使其吸附到最近的屏幕边缘。
3).双击浮动面板的上的每一栏( 就是有标题的那个 )可以使其最小化。 通过浮动面板上的最小化按钮可以在紧凑模式( 只有最少的选项和内容可视 )和正常模式( 显示面板上所有的选项和内容 )之间切换。
4).可以通过按回车键( 或双击工具箱上的工具按钮 )来打开当前工具的选项面板。不然的话只能通过菜单上的 Window/Show Options命令来来打开。
5).利用比例缩放区( 在Photoshop窗体或导航器面板的左下角 )来快速选择一个准确的显示比例,当输入一个值后按Shift+Enter让你快速得到欲显示的比例。
6).要改变状态区的显示信息( 在窗口底部,默认显示文件大小,可以通过Window > Show Status Bar打开 ),按状态区上的按钮从弹出菜单中选 一个新的项目。点击状态区上按钮的左侧区域可以显示当前文件的打印尺 寸、按住Alt点击显示文件尺寸和分辨率、按住Ctrl点击显示拼贴信息。
7).厌倦了灰色的画布底色?选择油漆桶工具[K]( Paint Bucket )按住 Shift点击画布边缘即可设置画布底色为当前的前景色。(注意:要还原到默认的颜色,设置前景色为25%灰度( R192,G192,B192 )再次按住Shift 点击画布边缘。)
8).在Photoshop中所有的对话框中的取消( Cancel )按钮都可以通过按 住Alt键变为复位( Reset )按钮。这使你可以轻易回复到初始值而毋须取 消重来。
9).键盘上的CapsLock键可以控制光标在精确状态及标准状态之间切换。 注意:如果Photoshop的参数 [Ctrl+K,Ctrl+3] ( File/Preferences/ Display & Cursors... ) 中已经设置光标为精确状态,这时CapsLock键不起作用。
10).按“F”键可在Photoshop的三种不同屏幕显示方式 ( 标准显示模式→ 带菜单的全屏显示模式→全屏显示模式 )下切换( 或者可以使用工具箱下 端的按钮 )。提示:在全屏模式下按Shift+F可以切换是否显示菜单。 双击Photoshop的背景空白处为打开文件命令[Ctrl+O]( File/Open)。
11).按住Shift点击颜色面板下的颜色条可以改变其所显示的色谱类型。或者,也可以在颜色条上单击鼠标右键,从弹出的颜色条选项菜单中选取其它色彩模式。
12).在图片窗口的标题栏上单击鼠标右键可以快速用一些命令,如画布大小命令、图像大小命令和复制等等。 在色板面板上的任一空白( 灰色 )区域单击可在色板上加进一个自定义的颜色,按住Ctrl键点击为减去一个颜色,按住Shift点击为替换一个颜色。
13).通过拷贝粘贴Photoshop拾色器中所显示的16进制颜色值,可以在 Photoshop和其它程序( 其它支持16进制颜色值的程序 )之间交换颜色数据。

DREAMWEAVER VS FRONTPAGE
FRONTPAGE REVIEW
“No real professional uses FrontPage.”
This is a common belief held by many “Internet professionals,” but is it really true?
Many FrontPage users face the overwhelming perception that if they use FrontPage, they can’t be a “real professional” — an attitude that I’ve always regarded as ludicrous. A “professional” can use FrontPage as one of the many weapons in his or her arsenal.
Make no mistake, though: FrontPage is a great application for newbies because it’s modeled after Microsoft Word, which is easy to use, and a program with which many, many people are familiar. So, when you open up FrontPage, you think “Hey, this is just like a Word Document! I can do this!”
The controls of Word and FrontPage are strikingly similar.
FrontPage is commonly known as a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. It’s a solid tool with a great deal of easy-to-use options and page elements that allow you to create a decent Website quickly and with minimal hassle. Sure, if you don’t have any design sense, you’re going to wind up with an ugly page — but that goes for every piece of design software you can buy. But FrontPage offers other functionality as well, including, for example, its very useful site management tools. We’ll talk about them a little later.
The Advantages
First I’d like to talk about a few of the small, neat things I see in FrontPage.
I really like the tabs that come up when you have more than one document open. In most of the other editors I’ve used, a new window is opened for each document, each taking up a little extra space on the Taskbar. But FrontPage’s single tab takes up the same amount of Taskbar space, no matter how many documents you have open. Plus, this makes it really easy to switch between documents.
Another great advantage is the way FrontPage allows you to jump from the actual editor, to the HTML code (that you can edit by hand), and a preview of what the page would like if it were online. You don’t have to open up a new browser window to preview a page, unless you choose to. This is all very handy. To give you an idea of how easy it is to change between views.
The Disadvantage
What’s the downside for FrontPage? The code it produces isn’t pretty, and won’t pass the standards for HTML/XHTML. This is, as you’d imagine, the major gripe most people have with FrontPage. However, the code works fine for most major and minor browsers out there at the moment.
If you happen to write your own code, you can turn code editing off so that FrontPage won’t touch it. If you want to get really technical (and I mean really), you can even set your own coding profile — FrontPage will then code the pages the way you tell it to.
An Added Bonus: Site Management
Included in FrontPage is a wealth of site management tools. These help you to plan and develop the structure of your Website, from navigation and subdirectories, to links and architecture. You can map an existing Website or create one from scratch.
You can even configure FrontPage to display Website traffic reports. Hate to FTP? FrontPage can be set to update a page on the Web automatically, right after you’ve changed it.
DREAMWEAVER REVIEW
Visual authoring with XML data
Integrate XML-based data, such as RSS feeds into web pages using a simple drag
and drop workflow. Jump to code view to customize the transformation, using improved
code hinting for XML and XSLT.
New, unified CSS panel
All the CSS functionality is consolidated into one panel set and enhanced to make
working with CSS easier and more productive. The new interface makes it easier
to see the cascade of styles applied to a specific element and easily identify
where attributes are defined. A property grid allows for quick edits.
CSS layout visualization
Apply visual aides at design time to outline CSS layout borders or color CSS layouts
to reveal complex nesting schemes and improve selection. Click on the CSS layout
for valuable Tooltips, such as ID and padding and margin and border settings.
Style rendering toolbar
View content the same way end-users will see it, no matter what the delivery mechanism,
with new support for CSS media types in Dreamweaver 8. Use the style rendering
toolbar to toggle to design view and see how it will look in print, on a handheld,
or on a screen.
CSS rendering improvements
Match how complex CSS layouts will render in most browsers, with substantial improvements
in design view accuracy. Dreamweaver now fully supports advanced CSS techniques,
such as overflow, pseudo-elements, and form elements.
Accessibility: Support for WCAG/W3C priority 2 checkpoints
In addition to the integrated accessibility evaluation tool for Section 508 and
WCAG Priority 1 checkpoints, Dreamweaver now supports both CSS and accessibility
with an updated evaluation tool that includes WCAG Priority 2 checkpoints.
Improved WebDAV
WebDAV in Dreamweaver 8 now supports digest authentication and SSL for secure
file transfer and offers improved connectivity with a wider array of servers.
Background file transfer
Stop waiting and keep working while Dreamweaver 8 uploads files to the server.
New functionality enables users to work with files in their local machine while
Dreamweaver communicates with the server.
Zoom
Get great control over design with zoom. Pan in and inspect an image or work with
a complex nested table layout. Zoom out to review how a page will look overall.
Guides
Compare the page layout to comps with pixel perfect accuracy using guides to measure
page layouts. Great visual feedback helps measure distances accurately and supports
intelligent snapping.
Coding toolbar
The new code toolbar surfaces common coding operations in a gutter bar along the
side of the coding surface. No more hunting through menus and panels to find code
snippets. New coding features include comment/uncomment.
Code collapse
Focus only on the code in use. Hide and expand blocks of code by selection or
by tag to stay organized.
Workspace layouts
Customize and save workspace configurations. Dreamweaver 8 ships with four different
configurations that are tailored to the needs of designers and coders. Pick and
choose, or easily build a custom workspace.
Tabbed documents for the Mac
New document tabs on Mac help simplify the user interface and make it easier to
select documents.
New starter pages
Get started with web design in a snap. Beautiful new layouts and designs allow
users to go from installation to full site in no time flat.
Improved site synchronize and check in / check out
Manage sites with increased reliability and confidence. Improved site synchronization
features help ensure that the file in use is the latest version. Prevent accidental
overwriting of others’ work with improved check-in/ check-out functionality
to track who is working on which files.
Compare files
Quickly compare files to identify what has changed, whether it is two local files,
a file on the local and remote, or two files on the remote server. Dreamweaver
8 now integrates with diff utilities on both the Mac and Windows platforms.
Paste special
Spend less time wrestling content from email and Microsoft Word into formats.
With new pasting options in Dreamweaver, retain all the source formatting created
in Microsoft Word, or just take the text and apply the CSS already attached to
the page.
Site relative references
Work seamlessly with server-side includes at design time and run time by ensuring
that references are relative to sites instead of local files.
Code editing improvements
Gain greater control over how the tool hints and completes tags to fit with your
coding style
Support for ColdFusion MX 7
Updated support for ColdFusion MX 7 includes new server behaviors and code hinting.
To match the code hinting and debugging with the correct version of ColdFusion,
Dreamweaver automatically detects the server version the first time the tool connects
to the site. The tight integration between Dreamweaver and ColdFusion allows users
to add and remove databases directly from the database and components panel in
Dreamweaver to show only CFCs defined in the current site—making navigating
CFCs a snap.
Support for PHP 5
Take advantage of updated support for PHP 5, including server behaviors and code
hinting.
OVERALL
if your going for a more CSS type site use dreamweaver while if your preferation is simplicity itself , go for frontpage.
