• In June of 2020, Adobe made radical changes to it’s Camera RAW plug-ins’ User Interface (UI) – – The new look is completely different.

• I know, I know – change can be frustrating, and at first, I was indeed skeptical  – but, this new UI is growing on me, and most definitely in a good way.  The more I use it,  the more I’m discovering that there are LOTS of little things that make this a more productive User Interface, compared to the old interface.

• There are 3 steps necessary to successful color management – Profiling your Monitor is “Step #1”.  But let’s face it:  the main reasons most people avoid profiling their monitor are because they’ve got to buy something (which is true), and/or they think it’s too complicated (which is not true).

• The truth is, it can be quite simple to get your monitor to match the output of your photo printer OR favorite custom print lab.  All you need are the right tools, the main one being a Monitor Profiling package, which consists of a piece of hardware called a colorimeter, and the software to go with it.

• Think of Panels as miniature workspaces, each accomplishing a different function.  There are almost two dozen different panels available to you, but in the spirit of K.I.S.S., I would suggest that you start with just nine, and add those you deem necessary as you gain more experience with Photoshop.

• As you grow in your Photoshop skills, there are a zillion reasons why you’ll need to magnify your image on your computer screen– to check on sharpness, see if your layer mask is accurate, decide cropping, check on digital noise, and so on.    

• But, this can make it really tough to navigate around your image, particularly at larger magnifications.   

• So, there are 3 ways to navigate around a magnified image - they’re all centered on the Navigator Panel and interconnected, as you’ll soon see. 

• Just like the forward and back buttons on your web browser, the History Panel is critical in helping you look at “what-if” scenarios, before-and-after views, make instant corrections on your image, and so much more.
