Digital photography knows no operating system limits. All digital cameras and many software applications work equally well on a PC and a Macintosh. To that end, this book is cross-platform. Understandably, some differences do crop up, particularly in the chapters that deal with image editing. In this book, Windows commands are given first, followed by Mac commands, like this:
Press Enter (or Return on the Mac) to begin a new line.
Occasionally, text will be specific to one platform or another. Commands listed often involve using the keyboard along with the mouse — for example, “Press Shift while dragging with the Rectangular Marquee tool to create a square,” or “Alt +click (Option +click) the eyeball to redisplay all layers”.
When you see a command arrow (➪) in the text, it indicates that you should select a command from the menu bar. For example, “Choose Edit ➪Define Custom Shape” means to click the Edit menu and then choose the Define Custom Shape option.
Although this book was written based on the latest digital cameras and the newest software (such as Print Shop Pro and Photoshop), if you’re still bouncing around with earlier versions, you can still glean valuable info. You might just have to poke around a little more to find a tool or option that has moved — and of course, the topics covering new features won’t be applicable. But hey, seeing the cool new features might just be the impetus you need to go out and upgrade!
