How to Print Your Artwork




Note:
 Photoshop® CS2 is newly released in 2006. There seems to be no major changes in color management. So the followings are only differentials between Photoshop 7/CS and CS2.

And, because the information is common, new information for retouching with Photoshop is updated in Photoshop 7/CS page. If you are not very familiar with retouching, visit the page.

As for general information, refer to Photoshop Help and Instruction Manual(PDF).
