10 Tips on using Photoshop for presentation

You know the struggle: you have to create a visually engaging presentation using PowerPoint . Yet, the look and feel of the presentation simply aren’t professional enough. Enter Adobe Photoshop. Traditionally a tool associated with image manipulation and editing, Photoshop might not be at the top of your list when it comes to tools for creating refreshing presentations. However, the vast variety of graphic design tools the software offers makes it an incredible complement to software like Powerpoint and Slides. Unsure about where to start? Keep reading this article for ten top tips on using Adobe Photoshop for your presentations.

1: Make Sure Your Scale is Consistent

The key issue when creating graphics for Powerpoints in Photoshop is the scaling of the graphics themselves. If one is formatted differently than the other, then transferring your graphics from one platform to another goes from being a success to a disaster. Before you begin, make sure to match your Photoshop canvas size to the Powerpoint slide size. And remember – Photoshop uses pixels while Powerpoint uses inches, so make sure to convert the dimensions when you’re adjusting your Photoshop canvas!

2: Less is More!

If you are designing graphics for a text-based presentation, make sure to not let your graphics stand out. While graphic design is vital to a great presentation, it is only meant to focus a viewer’s eye on the points being made – not take away from the point by being overtly eye-catching. 

3: Still… Don’t be Afraid to be Bold!

Even though your focus should be to allow the text on your slides to speak to a viewer, don’t be afraid to use the graphic design tools of photoshop to take your presentation to the next level. After all, you wouldn’t be using Photoshop for your presentation if you simply wanted a run-of-the-mill presentation!

4: Use Adobe Colour

One of the first steps in building beautiful graphics for a presentation is finding a colour palette that suits the tone and graphics of the presentation that is visually appealing. To help you in this quest, use another tool in the Adobe suite of products – Adobe Colour – to help you create the colour palette that will truly match your presentation. Adobe Colour has a contrast checker that helps you make sure your text colour will be readable against your background colour for maximum impact. It also helps you make sure your colour choices adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) so that your presentation is truly accessible to everyone on the internet. 

5: Make the Best of Both Worlds

While Adobe Photoshop remains the premier tool for graphic design, it lacks movement-based effects that can also be incredibly important to a powerful presentation. However, even the less advanced tools of Powerpoint can be a blessing on this front! Use Photoshop to create graphic objects to layer above your background graphics, and use Powerpoint to animate them in your presentation to add a new dimension to your slides (both literally and metaphorically).

6: Use Photoshop’s In-house PDF Slideshow Feature for High Quality Renders You Can Easily Share

When sharing your graphics with clients, don’t hesitate to use Photoshop’s in-house high-quality rendering capabilities. By using the software’s PDF download function (rather than downloading your PowerPoint as a PDF or PPT) you enable the viewer to gain the best possible viewing experience across multiple kinds of devices.

7: Use Adobe Cloud Sharing for Easy Collaboration

No matter how confident we are in our skills, we sometimes need some help. For assistance from your colleagues, use Adobe’s cloud sharing capabilities to share your graphics with other people. This prevents you from constantly saving high-memory renders of your graphics to send to your colleagues and allows them to add suggestions and make changes to your document directly, saving all of your important time. 

8: Use Adobe’s Cross-device Synchronisation of Platforms to Your Advantage

As convenient as a trackpad or mouse can be for a skilled graphic designer, sometimes a pen and paper are simply best. In these moments, use Adobe Photoshop’s unique ability to save designs across devices to access graphic designs you created on your computer on a tablet, where you can use a stylus to make the adjustments that take your graphics to the next level. 

9: College Students – Use Your College Student Discount or Your School’s Photoshop Licence

The tips in this article apply to presentations in the workplace – but why not get started earlier in your career? If you are a student struggling to make interesting presentations for your classes and are looking for a way to upskill yourself, try and learn photoshop! This is made even easier by most colleges buying licences for use of photoshop that you can access for free. Don’t hesitate in getting started!

10: The Devil is in the Details

At the end of the day, Powerpoint already has its own graphic design capabilities – so make sure your use of Photoshop is worth it. Take the effort to make every small detail in your graphics valuable, and it will clearly show in the quality of your presentation.

Adobe PhotoShop Like paint, but better

Adobe Photoshop • What is Adobe Photoshop? • Image processing tool • Maybe the most powerful and used • A 'Must have' for any kind of Front-end Developer or Designer • What can PS do? • Crop, resize, optimize and correct the colors of digital images • And it's done easy

Adobe Photoshop (2) • It goes something like this…

Let’s Look Closer • Parts of Photoshop • Menu • Tools • Documents • Indicators • Rulers

Let’s Look Closer (2) • Parts of Photoshop • Workspaces • Panels… • Lots of them

Let’s Look Closer (3) • And many many more • Including, but not limited to: • Actions • Adjustments • Brushes • Histogram • Masks • Swatches • Etc.

Sweating Already? • 80% of the time you need just: • Toolstoolbox • Layersandgroupstoolbox • Historytoolbox • Typetoolbox • 19% of the time you need practice • 1 out of 100 times you’ll need a designer • It’s always useful to know shortcuts • Like CTRL+N to open a new file, etc.

Adobe Photoshop Live Demo

Photoshop Toolboxes Tools, Layers and Groups, History, Type

Tools Toolbox • The important part of PhotoShop • But you’ll hang out mainly with: • Move to click around • Marquee to select • Crop to reduce size • Hand to pan around • Zoom to zoom

Selectors How to select things in PS

Selectors in Photoshop • Three types of selectors • Marquee Tool • Select circles, ellipses and lines • Lasso Tool • Select not predefined shapes • Just draw on the image and select the drawn • Magic Want • Select byColor

Selectors Live Demo

Layers and Groups

Layers and Groups Toolbox • Layers are the divs of Photoshop • Groups are … well … other type of divs • A group can containany number of layers • A group can containother groups as well • You can use colorsfor visual hints • You can hide layers or groups of layers

Layers and Groups • Layers are used to separate components in our image • And show/hide stuffthat bugs us • Easier to hide the thingson top • Without deleting them • Groups are kind of Layer of Layers • Can have many layers and/or groups • Interact with all of them at once

Layers and Groups Live Demo

History Toolbox • If you mess up something use CTRL+Z • Note: Undo and Redo are a bit different than in the rest of the applications • Undo toggles between the last two steps • You can "stage" the file andswitch between stages • Regardless of what goes wrong,you can always revert tothe initial state

Type Toolbox • Use the type tool to get these: • Font name • Font size • Line height • Font weight • Text align • Letter spacing

Photoshop Toolboxes Live Demo

Slicing Not like a piece of pie

The Perfect Slice • Hide all other layers or duplicate in a new file • Crop • Export

The Usual Slice • Slice this!

Slicing 101 • Types of images • Backgrounds and Tiles • Backgrounds do not repeat in any direction • Tiles repeat in at least one direction • With and without transparency • Trivial and Tricky

Slicing Backgrounds • Easy to identify • Basically select, crop, save • Tend to be big in size • Depending on the case use JPG or PNG

Slicing Tiles • Easy to identify • Sometimes harder to slice • Usually small in size • Depending on the case use PNG or GIF

Slicing Live Demo

Image Formats When to use PNG, GIF and JPEG

JPEG Format • JPEG is the type of compression, not the format itself • JPEG compression has high level of compression (almost 1:10) • A little percentage of quality loss • Useful with big images • Formats using JPEG • jpg, jpeg, jpe, jif, jfif, jfi • Disadvantages • JPEG does not support transparency • Loss of image quality

GIF Format • Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) • Rarely used • Supports only 8-bit colors • An image can have no more than 256 different colors • Supports animations • PNG and JPEG doesn't • Uses lossless compression

PNG • PNG is the descendant of GIF • PNG supports 24 and 36 bit colors • PNG is high quality image format • Supports transparency due to the so called 'alpha channel' • The compression is lossless • Disadvantages of PNG • When the image is with high resolution the image size gets a lot bigger compared to JPEG images

Image Formats Live Demo

Exporting Images

Exporting images • Save as: not recommended • Less options • No preview • Save for web (and devices): preferred way • Much more options • Preview • More than one preview

Exporting images (2)

Example: Slicing a Button • A typical button may have: • Text • Icon • Shadow

Example: Slicing a Button (2) • Let’s look closer

Example: Slicing a Button (3) • Image parts • One own tile or background • Four corner parts • Shadow parts • Two own tiles side and bottom • Three corner parts • Note: not all buttons have all parts.Some have less,and some have more

Exporting Live Demo

Feathering Which will tends to happen more than often

Beware of Feathering • Not birdy feathers, but shape feathering • Quote: Feathering is a technique used in computer graphics software to smooth or blur the edges of a feature. The term is inherited from a technique of fine retouching using fine feathers.

Beware of Feathering (2)

Feathering Live Demo

Questions Do you have them?

Exercises • Given the file button.psd create a Web page (HTML + CSS + images) that displays two buttons and a hyperlink: • [OK] • [Cancel] • View More Information The buttons and the hyperlink should look like in the Photoshop file.

Exercises (2) • Given the file shadow.psd create a Web page (HTML + CSS + images) that displays few images (with different sizes) with a shadow. • Using the file menu-horizontal.psd create a Web page (HTML + CSS + images) that displays a horizontal menu with hyperlinks.

Photoshop took my favorite feature and massively boosted it with AI

I t’s probably fair to say that the Generative Fill feature within Adobe Photoshop has utterly transformed my photo-editing workflow. Today, Adobe just made it better — and spun off several additional features that complement Generative Fill, too.

Adobe added what it calls the “Firefly Image 3 Model” to its Firefly image-generation service as well as to Photoshop — at least the beta . Firefly is a text-to-image generator, trained on Adobe stock imagery to avoid complaints that it’s been trained on artists’ work without permission.

It’s difficult to show exactly how Firefly Image 3 differs from earlier models, but this is what Adobe has to say: “This combination delivers considerably better photographic image quality, precise controls to inform your outputs, prompt comprehension to understand complex descriptions, and generation variety to explore different results.”

How I use Generative Fill

You might wonder why a journalist would use AI to alter images. It’s true that I use it sparingly; one of my favorite features within the Windows’ Photos app has been Spot Fill, which uses AI to get rid of any spare specks of dust that might coat a laptop or USB-C hub. That’s now been replaced by Generative Erase .

The broader point is that we need art to illustrate our stories, when art isn’t always available. My editors would prefer that I use real images of products, or logos. But those might be just tiny images tucked away on a website or within a PowerPoint presentation. Could I enlarge them? Sure. But that might make them look grainy or odd. What to do?

In this case, I’ll take a chip image or logo, “remove” it from the presentation, then expand the size. Here’s where Generative Fill comes in: Photoshop’s “crop” tool can actually “expand” the boundaries of an image, which allows me to effectively enlarge the total scene. Most readers aren’t going to care about the background of an image, as long as the product is portrayed accurately. Generative Fill allows me to create a neutral though unique background in case I need it.

All I need to do is “crop out” from an image and let Generative Fill do its work. Counterintuitively, I do not enter a prompt; I just let it extend the image.

The other point, too, is that Generative Fill works quickly and accurately. I don’t have to “lasso” an object and maneuver it around, hoping I’ve captured every pixel accurately. Photoshop’s AI understands what (if anything) it needs to remove, and generates a replacement. It’s important to note that I and other editors still frame shots of, say, laptops with an eye toward simply cropping down an existing backdrop, rather than replacing it with something that’s artificially generated. (Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and others do that on video calls!)

What’s new in Photoshop in April 2024: AI, AI, AI

Generative Fill does allow you to specify what Photoshop fills in, such as adding a castle to the background of a beach scene. But it’s always had to work from what it guesses from your prompt. Even suggesting three options can be unsatisfying.

Now, Generative Fill can work from a reference image that you specify, which makes sense: “Make it look like this ” is a perfectly valid way of describing something.

There’s more. When Adobe’s Generative Fill suggests new AI art, it gives you a choice of three options. Generate Similar works like Reference Image: It allows you to use one of the suggestions as a reference image, and iterate on that.

But it’s also true that Adobe has wanted you to use Photoshop to edit an image, not create one wholesale. (You could already do that in Firefly, but would then have to import it. You could also use Generative Fill to add elements to an existing image.) Now you can go to Generate Image in the Contextual Task Bar on a blank canvas, or to Edit > Generate Image on the Tools panel and start from scratch.

This feels overdue. Otherwise, this looks like many of the other image generation tools on the market. Photoshop even adds “upscaling,” of a sort, through a feature called Enhance Detail. Essentially, this uses AI to produce sharper images.

Finally, Photoshop also allows you to remove and then generate a new background. Essentially, it’s removing the steps of selecting a foreground subject, removing it, creating a new background mask, and adding it in.

For years, I hesitated to use Photoshop for two reasons: One, I wasn’t sure how much I should edit reality, and two, it was so dang complicated and time-consuming to use. Photoshop’s AI additions have been a game-changer in making its tools faster, more efficient, and more accessible.

How-To Geek

Adobe firefly 3 will improve photoshop's ai features.

It's more accurate and easy to use.

Adobe's Photoshop CC 2024 release was a big update. While Adobe had already started playing around with AI features, last year's release was the first one to properly be outfitted for the generative AI era. The new "generative fill" feature allowed you to use AI to change parts of an image, expand images, and overall edit images to your will using AI. Now, a better version of this feature is coming to Photoshop's upcoming 2025 release.

At MAX London, Adobe's big annual event, Adobe unveiled a new beta version of Photoshop, featuring advancements in Generative Fill and adding overall improvements to Photoshop with a bunch of extra new AI additions. All of this new stuff is powered by Adobe's new Firefly 3 AI model, which is more capable than its predecessors, and should result in not only new AI features, but also improvements to all the features you already had access to. Images and outputs generated by the model should look better, more realistic, have more detail, and the model should stick to your prompts more closely as well. It's not the only AI addition by Adobe to its software in recent memory, but Photoshop's AI features are perhaps among the most used.

Photoshop's AI generations weren't bad by any means, but as other image generation models like DALL-E 3 started landing, the outputs by Photoshop started to look a bit lacking in comparison, so this was a much needed improvement. It also enables new features such as Reference Image, Generate Image, Generate Similar, Generate Background, and Enhance Detail, providing users with tools to bring their creative visions to life quickly.

Generate Image allows users to just generate an image completely from scratch, like DALL-E 3 does, while Reference Image will allow you to take an existing image as reference for an AI generation. Generate Similar and Enhance Detail are also self-describing. Other additions include Adjustment Brush, Improved Font Browser, and Adjustment Presets.

The features are now available in the beta version of Photoshop, and if you want to play around with it, you can give it a spin on your computer now. The "final" version of these improvements will be landing later this year, so if you don't want to play with beta-grade software, you'll probably want to wait.
