In this penultimate screencast of the series, I show you how to setup the guides, grids and slice preferences. I have been in here a lot of late whilst creating Storybook Album Designer v6. But you will probably only visit this preference once in a blue moon.

Setting Up CS4 Photoshop Preferences Pt 5 – Performance

Stuart Little — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:41:58 +0000

The performance preferences in Photoshop CS4 are one of these things that you only need to setup once. Get it right and Photoshop runs smoothly and is a joy to use. Get it wrong! and Photoshop becomes a sluggish beast from which all your pixels will slowly be spat back out at you.View The Complete Photoshop CS4 Preferences Series >

Setting Up CS4 Photoshop Preferences Pt 4 – File Handling

Stuart Little — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:00:07 +0000

The file handling side of the Photoshop CS4 preferences is pretty much a set it up and forget about it kinda thing. However don’t think its not useful. If you do not move files between other pieces of software much. This is where you can lower the size of a file without compromising on quality.View The Complete Photoshop CS4 Preferences Series >

Setting Up CS4 Photoshop Preferences Pt 3 – Interface

Stuart Little — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 01:00:27 +0000

The interface preferences have probably had more visits than ever before with Photoshop CS4. The introduction of the tabs system really was disliked when it first came out and a lot of users wanted to know how to switch it off. Personally I am getting used to working with it. But its nice to have the option.View The Complete Photoshop CS4 Preferences Series >

Setting Up Photoshop CS4 Preferences Pt 1 – Introduction

Stuart Little — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 08:00:17 +0000

There is not a week goes by that I don’t receive an email about how I go about setting up my Photoshop CS4 Preferences. So I thought I would do a short but in-depth 10 part series on how best to set up your preferences.I have broken the screencasts down into the different sections of the preferences dialog box and that way you can focus on the preferences you specifically need to know about rather than trawling through one large video screencast. So we start off (above) with a short introduction.
