Do you have ever think that how Photoshop works. Let’s talk about this. When we open an image in Photoshop it interprets that image in pixels. Now, you are thinking about what is pixels. Pixels are the fundamental unit of an image. As we know fundamental unit means basic. So, we can say an image is the combination of these pixels. Pixels are in square size. Every image has a particular no. of pixels. In an image no. of pixels can vary but the size of pixels can’t be changed. These no. of pixels decides the resolution an image. Resolution is the no. of pixel along the width * no. of pixels along the height. E.g the image with resolution 1024*768 means it contains 1024 pixels along the width and 768 along the height.
These are the very basic concepts regarding an image which you should have to know. These are very useful for working in Photoshop. In our next article we go for some Photoshop basic tools and commands. So, stay tuned for complete learning session of Photoshop.
