Photoshop Screen Modes Tutorial

Video Transcript

"Adobe Photoshop is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Inc. and I am in no way affiliated with Adobe. Ok on this simple tutorial I'm actually going to talk about screen mode in Photoshop. Now people don't really realize what this is, but say for instance when I open a photograph and I'm going to go, I don't know, this photograph right here, usually your photo, your Photoshop opens up like this and I'm not too sure if this is exactly like this on PC, but I know on a Mac usually pictures open up like this and you can still see your desktop in the background. Now screen mode gives you a different way to view your image. If you go to View and you go down to Screen Mode you can see different options. You can see Maximize Screen Mode, Full Screen Mode with a menu bar, and Full Screen mode. If you hit Full Screen mode it take you like that with a black background. Now a simpler way to do it, which I'm about to show you guys, is just hit the F key. F key will bring you to the normal and then it will take you to the next screen mode, and then it will give you maximize screen mode, and then it will give you the screen mode with the black background which is always nice because it kind of singles out your image and it kind of helps you look at what you have going on there. The reason why I wanted to show you guys this is because you've been seeing me work this whole times on all these tutorials and I have been changing my screen mode every so often and, you know, I wanted to touch base on that and show you guys that it is possible to do without the shortcut, but if you go to view and screen mode you can actually see exactly the way your image should look, especially with that black background. That really helps with contrast. And that is a simple little tutorial on screen mode."
