The Photoshop menu bar works like the menu bar
in any other standard application. Thus, for example, the "Save" and "Save As"
operations will be found in the "File" menu item and "Copy" and "Paste" will be
found in "Edit". No surprises here.

Similarly, the Photoshop menu follows the standard keyboard
shortcuts that you expect to see. Thus, the ALT-F combination will access the "File"
menu and the ALT-F SHIFT-N combination will access the "New" menu choice from the "File" menu
item.

It is a good bet that if in any application you see a menu
item with a single letter underlined, that you can access that menu item
by using the ALT key in combination with the letter. Similarly, menu choices should
be accessible by using the SHIFT key in combination with the underlined letter.
using keyboard shortcuts can greatly speed up your work since you do not have to
navigate the mouse all over the screen. Why not take a moment to practice
accessing menu items using the keyboard? If you commit to learn one keyboard
shortcut per week, you will be a master of the menu in a couple of months.

Of course, there are a few non standard menu items such as
"Mode" and "Filter", but these will be explained in detail later. For the moment,
let's keep our discussion focussed on the basics. Let's move from
the menu Bar to the Drawing Canvas.
