Preview Your Work - Photoshop Tip

When working in Photoshop it is helpful to see how your work appears in preview mode.  To do this, (Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 - Extended students), from the top menu of Photoshop; choose File then choose Save for Web & Devices.  The following Save for Web & Devices dialogue box will then appear: now, navigate your image by dragging your cursor over the left-side preview.

And when you have finished, close the Save for Web & Devices dialogue box, by clicking Cancel.

Best Wishes.
