Photoshop Menu Bar
In this chapter you will be learning about the menu bar…
The menu bar consists of nine menus: File, Edit, Image, Layer, Select, Filter, View, Window, and Help. Take a few moments now to look at each of the menus. As you explore each menu, be sure to take a look at the submenus as well. You will also notice that many commands are followed by keyboard shortcuts. Gradually, you may want to know those shortcuts as they can save your time

As we make our way through this course, we’ll be learning the most useful keyboard shortcuts
In addition to the menu bar, Photoshop often has context sensitive menus for accessing some of the most likely commands depending on which tool is selected and where you are clicking. You access the context sensitive menu by right clicking in Windows, or pressing the Control key on a Macintosh.
One of the most convenient contextual menus can be accessed by right clicking/Control clicking on the title bar of a document for quick access to the duplicate command, image and canvas size dialogs, file information, and page setup. If you already know how to open an image, go ahead and try it now. Otherwise, you’ll learn how in the next section.
